Abstract

This IDC Web Conference highlights a discussion by IDC's Future Enterprise research leads Paul Hughes and Jeff Hojlo on the importance of connectivity as a building block for new industry ecosystem business models. Organizations are expanding ecosystems to include new participants inside and outside their core industries. They are sharing data and insights, codeveloping applications, and sharing operations and expertise; end-user expectation is that products and services are now delivered in a blended physical and digital way. All of this requires rapid, reliable connectivity that enables data to be in motion across ecosystems.
