Partner Ecosystems
We build effective partner networks.
From setup to implementation.
As IT and digitalization become more complex, so do the performance and service chains: In order to be flexible yet reliably deliverable as IT, building a balanced network of suitable and well-selected partners – the partner ecosystem – is recommended. It’s about more than just purchasing one or two cloud providers or application developers. The interplay between cloud and managed service providers in a multi-provider system needs to be established – and managed as well. This system must be both stable and flexible. Stable, to reliably provide high-quality IT services. Flexible, to quickly adapt services when the business requirements change.
