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.

The Six Pillars of Industry Cloud Selection
Mar-23 DOC # US50435923 Insight
This IDC Perspective explains how companies considering industry clouds should approach the evaluation and selection process. As a new, platform-based model for engagement with end customers and ecosystem partners, industry clouds must be assessed for both their technology and business fit for the company while keeping in mind incumbent technology providers, value chain implications, and other related factors. IDC proposes six evaluation criteria or pillars that businesses can use to make an informed industry cloud selection and describes the rationale for each.
"IDC has a deep understanding of the industry cloud market after covering it for over a decade," said Bob Parker, senior vice president and general manager for Manufacturing, Retail, Energy, and Financial Insights at IDC. "Our six industry cloud pillars were chosen based on this knowledge and the new dynamics created in the market by the entry of the major enterprise cloud, software, and services providers. The criteria provide industry cloud buyers with a comprehensive framework for evaluating the current offerings and making the right decision for their business."

Monitoring IBM's Performance in 2023
Feb-23 DOC # lcUS50431823 IDC Link
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. Our objective is to give our readers a more cohesive view of performance as the year goes on.

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.
