What is an Ecosystem?
What is an Ecosystem?
eco•sys•tem \-ˌsis-təm\ n : the complex of a community of organisms and its environment functioning as an ecological unit (Merriam-Webster)
Business Without Borders
The concept of an “ecosystem” in the natural world hasn’t changed since Webster’s defined it in 1935. What has changed in recent years is our understanding of the potential that such a concept represents when applied to traditional business concepts of partnering. An ecosystem’s health and success depends upon interdependence — it is a highly-collaborative, complexly-orchestrated community. Applied as part of a business strategy, it creates a partnering environment where group strength drives improvements far greater than those that can be realized by any individual organization.
Invensys Operations Management embraces and executes that ideal in the context of manufacturing operations management. Our Partner Ecosystem is comprised of suppliers, distributors, OEMs, systems integrators, and solution providers that together create one of the largest and most vibrant value-add networks in industrial automation. Together we develop, market, and service pioneering, real-time production solutions that accelerate time-to-market, improve ROI, and enhance the customer experience. This allows us to address performance improvements in a wide range of operational areas like: quality, throughput, workforce, and regulatory and environmental compliance across many industries. The concept is simple: more partners working with our technologies means more innovation, more choice, and more satisfied customers.
Our Competitive Advantage
Sharing information and synchronizing operations are not only the tools of our trade — they are the key to envisioning a new approach to delivering customer value. One in which multiple partners can collaborate to solve the most pressing business challenges. But the proof isn’t in the theory… it’s in the practice. That’s why our critical barometer for success is customer relevancy.
