Oracle 2023 Analyst Summit: The Industry Opportunity
May-23 DOC # US48667922 Insight
This IDC Perspective highlights our key takeaways and analysis of the recent Oracle Application and Industry Analyst Summit.
"Essentially, the message is that Oracle will provide customers the core system (the "digital fabric" as one executive said), common data model, and best practices, combined with partner-led agile methodologies, ISV, and integration offerings — to the tune of what now is 20k+ services and ISV partners. This shared application, cross-industry ecosystem approach is one we see most large platform providers offering today, whether in an enterprise or industrial environment — because on-demand, rapid access to data, applications, and services is expected by end customers in every industry today to effectively run their businesses," said Jeffrey Hojlo, research vice president, Future of Industry Ecosystems, IDC.

IDC MaturityScape Benchmark — What Dimensions in an Organization Drive Industry Ecosystem Success?
May-23 DOC # US50692623 Presentation
This IDC Survey Spotlight answers the following question: Where do thrivers excel in their industry ecosystem maturity? The maturity of an industry ecosystem will vary from organization to organization — and may change from a simple, short list of organizations working on a specific project or venture to a complex, multiparticipant ecosystem. In February 2023, we set out to determine the current state of industry ecosystems by fielding IDC's Future of Industry Ecosystems MaturityScape Benchmark Survey, a survey that asks respondents to self-rank themselves based on IDC's Future of Industry Ecosystems maturity curve (see IDC MaturityScape: Future of Industry Ecosystems 1.0, IDC #US47771922, July 2022). The document analyzes organization maturity across five dimensions: people, process, technology, operations, and innovation.
This IDC Survey Spotlight looks at the industry ecosystem IDC MaturityScape respondents who identify their organizations as mature and expansive (levels 4 and 5) with their industry ecosystem approach versus those who are in the early stages of their journey (levels 1 and 2) and, more specifically, which dimensions (people, process, technology, operations, and innovation) are most mature. That is, what drives their ecosystem success.
Throughout 2023, we will continue to publish our analysis from this groundbreaking document: IDC MaturityScape: Future of Industry Ecosystems 1.0 (IDC #US47771922, July 2022).

Future of Industry Ecosystems — Government
May-23 DOC # US50218323 Presentation
This IDC Survey is based on IDC's Future of Industry Ecosystems Survey and is focused on the government sector cut of this survey data.
In May and June 2022, we fielded our second annual global survey to 1,270 executives across 5 regions and 11 countries. The goal was to determine executive and business leader sentiment on industry ecosystems, maturity of current approach, and future plans for IT and use case investment. Respondents spanned multiple domains and included CXOs, business-line leadership, and IT management.
Key findings from the survey include:
- Mitigating demand fluctuations and supply chain constraint and pursuing environmental sustainability goals are key joint initiatives for industry ecosystem partners.
- Trust and execution across industry ecosystems are the top risks to mitigate.
- Most organizations plan to, as they did last year, expand their industry ecosystems beyond their core industries.
- Service providers will play a key role in the design and enablement of industry ecosystems.
Another key area of focus for organizations when they consider the design and operation of their industry ecosystem is improvement of customer, consumer, citizen, or patient engagement and experience. That is, how does the shared, open approach of industry ecosystems (shared data and insights, shared applications, shared operations and expertise) better facilitate this?
Governments around the world continue to face multiple disruptions while proactively serving their citizens with necessary services and information. Balancing this complexity will only be possible by working more closely with ecosystem partners within the public sector, as well as outside with other industry organizations — whether in automotive, consumer goods, agriculture, energy, or high tech. Open sharing of data, a common set of applications, and on-demand expertise will empower this collaboration.

IBM's earning release for 1Q23 reported revenue of $14.3 billion (+4% y/y @ constant currency, flat y/y as reported) — the balance of this document will use constant currency growth unless otherwise noted. Free cash flow for the quarter was $1.3 billion. The financial results were consistent with guidance and on track to meet its stated goal of $10.5 billion of free cash flow for the year.
CEO and Chairman Arvind Krishna discussed how initiatives for increased productivity, expanded partnerships, and investing in growth markets were at the center of delivering the intended business benefits. While it is always difficult to unpack a product set as vast as IBM's, there certainly seems to be evidence supporting the productivity gains with a 130 basis point gain in operating pre-tax margin (excluding workforce rebalancing). Significant growth remains more elusive with results middling at best, even in this challenging market environment.

We track the financial performance of many major technology vendors, but we are not financial analysts. We do so because these companies, such as IBM, account for a large portion of spending at our tech buyer clients and have an outsized presence in the markets they compete and partner in which makes their performance very important to our tech supplier clients. The quarterly financial results and attendant executive commentary provide an important basis for our ongoing coverage of these important technology vendors.
In the past, we have written our analysis relatively independently each quarter, but given the uncertainty entering 2023, we will be taking a bit more structured approach. In this document, we are identifying what we believe to be the critical success factors for IBM. Each quarter, we will provide specific commentary on how we see their progress against these considerations.

Environmental Sustainability a Leading Initiative for Industry Ecosystems
Feb-23 DOC # US50148023 Presentation
This IDC Survey Spotlight, which examines results from our 2022 Future of Industry Ecosystems Global Survey (n = 1,270), fielded to CXOs, business-line executives, and IT leaders, environmental sustainability remains a focus initiative among ecosystem partners. We asked the following question: When you consider the collective capital you have across the industry ecosystems you participate in, what are your top initiatives? (By "capital", we mean asset, operational, financial, and people.) The top answer of environmental sustainability shows there is a recognition that the area is too complex for any one organization to address on its own.
In our Future of Industry Ecosystems practice, we focus on three key areas: shared data and insights, shared and codeveloped applications, and shared operations and expertise. Also important in our research is enabling blended physical and digital ways of delivering products and services to the end customer and collaborating with ecosystem partners. Each of these areas can contribute to improving an organization's environmental sustainability footprint.
We will continue to explore other topics related to environmental sustainability across ecosystems, covered in our current and future research: these include which participants in an ecosystem are most important (e.g., tech providers, public entities, service providers), what IT investments are and will be made, and analysis on the top sustainability use cases across industry.

IDC Survey: Future of Industry Ecosystems — Utilities Industry
Feb-23 DOC # US50123523 Presentation
This IDC Survey presents data for the utilities industry from IDC's Future of Industry Ecosystem Survey. In May and June 2022, we fielded our second annual global survey to 1,270 executives across 5 regions and 11 countries. The goal was to determine executive and business leader sentiment on industry ecosystems, maturity of current approach, and future plans for IT and use case investment. Respondents spanned multiple domains and included CXOs, business-line leadership, and IT management.
Key findings from the survey include:
- Mitigating demand fluctuations and supply chain constraint and pursuing environmental sustainability goals are key joint initiatives for industry ecosystem partners.
- Trust and execution across industry ecosystems are the top risks to mitigate.
- Most organizations plan to, as they did last year, expand their industry ecosystems beyond their core industries.
- Service providers will play a key role in the design and enablement of industry ecosystems.
Another key area of focus for organizations when they consider the design and operation of their industry ecosystem is improvement of customer, consumer, citizen, or patient engagement and experience. That is, how does the shared, open approach of industry ecosystems (shared data and insights, shared applications, shared operations and expertise) better facilitate this?
This IDC Survey on the future of industry ecosystems is focused on the utilities sector cut of this survey data. This industry is faced with a trilogy of challenges, which increasingly require organizations to expand their set of ecosystem partners within and external to their core industry:
- Enabling distributed energy resource management (DERM) for residential, commercial, and city locations
- The electrification many industries are undergoing, such as the automotive industry with electric vehicles (EVs)
- Energy transition to renewable, sustainable sources of power generation
Joint ventures are becoming more common in the utilities industry, and there is a recognition that digital investments must be made that enable easier collaboration, sharing of data and applications, and consistent engagement with the end customer. IDC's Future of Industry Ecosystem Survey provides a view into how these organizations are currently working and planning to work with their ecosystem partners.

Worldwide Monthly Technology Investment Monitor: November 2022
Dec-22 DOC # US49819022 Presentation
This IDC Market Presentation highlights the worldwide monthly technology investment monitor for November 2022. Beginning in early 2022, waves of interconnected economic, political, and social disruptions threatened to batter enterprises around the world for the next several years. Those organizations that try to navigate around the storms of disruption by delaying their digital investments risk find themselves behind their competitors when the recession is over, but all will need to adopt new recession response strategies in what would be the first recession of the as-a-service era. We continue to track how these ongoing storms of disruption impact technology investment and operational priorities.
IDC's Global Technology Thought Leadership group conducts a monthly survey (IDC's Future Enterprise Resiliency and Spending Survey) to understand how IT and business leaders in enterprises around the world are assessing risks and addressing cost management for their growing portfolio of technology resources. In the Wave 9 survey conducted in September/October 2022, IDC asked 817 IT decision makers in North America, Asia/Pacific, and Europe to indicate how concerns about inflation, recession skills shortages, and other developments are affecting investment plans in major technology sectors with a focus on customer experience, operations, and industry ecosystems.

How Important Is Web3 and Decentralization to Industry Ecosystems?
Nov-22 DOC # US49855222 Presentation
This IDC Survey Spotlight shares data from the recent IDC Future Enterprise Resiliency Survey (FERS), focusing on the key considerations of industry ecosystem technology strategy and comparing this with the actual technology investment today. IDC defines Web3 as a collection of open technologies and protocols supporting the trustless use and storage of decentralized data, knowledge, and value. Content is decentralized on DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations), with control and value retained by users. Blockchains, NFTs, and smart contracts will play a critical role in establishing immutable transaction, communication, and collaboration that is seamless and does not have to be validated every time (i.e., "trustless").
We think as industry ecosystems evolve to include a varied set of partners, customers, suppliers, service providers, and public entities, that Web3 will be leveraged as a complement to classic enterprise business networks to provide new sources of data, innovation, applications, and expertise. IDC's 2022 Future of Industry Ecosystems Global Survey, July 2022, and IDC's Future Enterprise Resiliency Survey, October 2022, show that interest in Web3, as well as DAOs and metaverse, is strong. While it is still in the early, experimental days, organizations see how Web3 can provide a foundation, a fabric if you will, that can assure trust, enable innovation and, perhaps most importantly, scale activity.
For additional research and analysis on the opportunity for Web3 and industry ecosystems, we recommend reading the following documents:

Defining the Future of Industry Ecosystems
Nov-22 DOC # US49791522 Insight
This IDC Perspective analyzes the need and opportunity for this extended approach to industry ecosystems, one of the multiple types of ecosystems that companies will employ today to remain competitive, address disruption, and grow their business. Industries are expanding the capability, capacity, insight, and expertise of their teams through ecosystems, within and outside their industry.
"Why are industry ecosystems critical for success in the digitally transformed, disrupted world we live in today? Because the complexity of products, supply chains, digital experiences, and changing market and customer/consumer needs are too great for any one organization to address on its own. Organizations must continually morph with shifts in trends that will disrupt their industry value chains. As organizations understand these shifts, they form new, additional partnerships in industry ecosystems — within their industry or across others — that deliver value, create resiliency, foster innovation, and anticipate threats and opportunities," said Jeffrey Hojlo, research vice president, Future of Industry Ecosystems at IDC.

IDC Survey: Future of Industry Ecosystems — Transportation and Logistics
Oct-22 DOC # US49737622 Presentation
This IDC Survey on the future of industry ecosystems is focused on the transportation and logistics industry cut of the survey data. The past two years of supply chain bottlenecks and capacity issues have made organizations across different industries realize that they must have multiple transportation options in place to address the current opportunity or challenge at hand. That is, a failover approach that provides multiple options at any given point, based on industry expertise, performance, and/or geography. Logistics carriers need to work within an ecosystem of providers, often competitive, supporting first to mid-mile and last-mile delivery of goods and services. This document highlights this opportunity and approach through the lens of the transportation and logistics provider.
In May and June 2022, we fielded our second annual global survey to 1,270 executives across 5 regions and 11 countries. The goal was to determine executive and business leader sentiment on industry ecosystems, maturity of current approach, and future plans for IT and use case investment.

The consideration by private partnerships, like EY, of whether to separate auditing from advisory or consulting seems to come up every decade or so, and the decision is not taken lightly because of the enormous impact on each firm's partners and staff, all its clients, and all the associated regulatory entities involved worldwide, including the impact this decision can have on the overall services market. That EY audits nine of the world's top 10 technology firms creates limitations on services that can be delivered to clients or JVs and partnerships into which the firm can enter for developing products (think technology providers and private equity firms), and with the enormous role that technology now plays in creating the next generation of digital businesses, EY decided it needs to effectuate a split to create more value for itself and its clients.

This IDC survey on the future of industry ecosystems is focused on the discrete and process manufacturing industries — specifically with analysis by manufacturing value chain (AOVC — asset oriented, BOVC — brand oriented, EOVC — engineering oriented, TOVC — technology oriented). Each manufacturing value chain increasingly looks to its respective industry ecosystem and beyond for new sources of innovation and to be more resilient in the face of continuous, multipronged disruption. The past three years have taught manufacturers to build out an on-demand, flexible industry ecosystem of data, applications, operations, and expertise available through partners inside and outside their industry.
In May 2022 we fielded our second annual global survey to 1,270 executives across 5 regions and 11 countries. The goal was to determine executive and business leader sentiment on industry ecosystems, maturity of current approach, and future plans for IT and use case investment.
