Amplify your Innovation Bandwith: How and Where to Leverage Partnerships in the Brave New Technological World - 10

Three Imperatives for Successful Technology Partnerships
This rapidly changing technology landscape
warrants a revised approach to collaboration
with technology partners. The traditional
technology services sourcing model focused
on separating core functions from non-core
functions.
Simpler, commoditized processes like application
maintenance and coding were off-loaded to
partners that could do it better, faster, and
cheaper. While this still holds true, in today’s
rapidly changing SMAC landscape most company
processes are now up for bid, at least for capable
technology partners. In other words, enterprises
can now leverage third-party technology firms
higher up the value chain than ever before.
Furthermore, agile requires a mindset that
may be different from that provided by more
traditional IT Services providers.
Amplify Your Innovation Bandwidth
In addition to basic requirements, companies
now turn to their partners for advanced
application design, architecture, and systems
integration work. But as technology partners
take on more advanced tasks, enterprises
must also demand more from their technology
partners. In this context, the following three
criteria should guide enterprises as they look
to increase the bandwidth of their innovative
capacity, through partnerships:
1. Embrace change and budget for
R&D – In case there was any doubt,
SMAC technologies have moved out of
their early-adopter stage and into the
mainstream. From financial services to
education, enterprises can no longer
close their eyes to the awesome and
transformative power of SMAC. This
requires enterprises to embrace and
budget for R&D in custom applications
for consumers, partners and internal
processes.
