In this period of digital transformation of the economy and enterprise business models, the broader ecosystem of suppliers of IT products and business solutions is critical. Technology buyers now focus on business value as well as speed and agility as these traits are fundamental to an end-user community seeking to transform their systems to sustain business goals in the new digital era. Delivery of services by way of cloud-based platforms is also a disruptor to the traditional business models of channels that themselves need to seek innovative ways to address the needs of end users in the cloud era.
IDC's Asia/Pacific Partnering Ecosystems is designed for channel managers within regional infrastructure, software, and services providers to help identify current cloud trends, best practices, and end-user adoption patterns in the changing cloud services market to aid them in their planning.
