What is a Partner Ecosystem
A partner ecosystem is an interdependent value creation network that reaches
beyond its boundaries to include everyone who plays a role in the value creation anddelivery of a product or service.

Why Create an Ecosystem
Being part of an ecosystem encourages both innovation and growth.
53% more likely to close a deal
when a partner is involved – and46% faster.

A third of the world’s total sales
output could become part of theintegrated network economy by2030 representing a $100 Trillion
value pool.

High-performing ecosystems drive on
average 1.5 times the cost reduction, andgenerate 2.1 times the incremental
revenue growth, compared to lowperforming ecosystems.
A study of more than 800 business leaders
leveraging at least one ecosystembusiness model has revealed that
ecosystems make up on average 13.7% of
their total annual revenues, drive 12.9% incost reduction and generate 13.3% inincremental earnings.
