IDC Market Perspective: Ecosystem Business Management Concept and Capabilities

IDC Defines the category of Ecosystem Business Management

This IDC Market Perspective discusses the necessity and creation of ecosystem business management (EBM) applications to address the complexity of properly supporting alliance and ecosystem partners' business requirements.

"The emergence of EBM applications is an encouraging sign that strategic alliance and ecosystem partners' business requirements are a priority. The adoption of these applications will establish common business practices, reduce redundancy, improve collaboration, and manage costs while maintaining a focused perspective of the desired customer experience," says Chris Webber director, Strategic Alliances Research at IDC.
