Abstract

This IDC Survey Spotlight focuses on the top IT investments by three global regions (North America, AP, and EMEA) that organizations are making in support of industry ecosystems — an expansion of ecosystem partners that organizations must work with in support of any situation, whether innovation, product or service change, dynamic demand, or unexpected disruption. The IDC Survey Spotlight further considers self-ranked digital transformation (DX) maturity aside planned IT investments — the primary takeaway being that organizations are still in the early stages of digital transformation, making fundamental platform investments to enable the expansion of their industry ecosystems.

IDC recently completed Wave 9 of the Future Enterprise Resiliency and Spending Survey, a regular survey that tracks business sentiment and IT spending throughout 2021. This wave of the research was dedicated to DX and the future of industry ecosystems.

The future of industry ecosystems, one of IDC's nine new future enterprise research practices, will continue to track the evolution of business strategy and IT spending during the coming year and beyond in support of industry ecosystems.
