Summary

A traditional approach to service providers misses the innovation opportunity. The old approaches of RFPs, pricing inputs, and relying on the promise of innovation fail to deliver. Companies pursuing a strategy of high-performance IT take a different approach, innovating through ecosystems of cloud platforms and co-innovation partnerships. A co-innovation partner brings assets, alliances, and solutions and helps you transform by orchestrating the value of your internal and external ecosystems. Not every provider can be a co-innovation partner, but the ones you have should share risks and rewards and be financially motivated to achieve your outcomes.
