How AI Ecosystems Are Transforming Business Applications
How AI Ecosystems Are Transforming Business Applications We can't emphasize enough the importance of interconnected networks and ecosystems to the enterprise application software market. Industry cloud providers and hyperscalers possess several key advantages in nurturing and leading these innovation networks. So what does this acceleration of AI software and services on industry cloud and hyperscaler marketplaces mean? Well, it depends on the customer segment the providers are vying to attract. Enterprises are driven by strategic advantages, risk mitigation, maximizing the value derived from their AI investments, improving data locality, and reducing latency — all while prioritizing optimizing costs and operational performance. Independent software vendors (ISVs) are driven by a unique set of business and strategic goals that focus on building trust and meeting customer requirements while protecting their IP and mindshare. For regulated industries, because these ecosystems often involve third-party vendors and cloud platforms, the vetting of AI partners and solutions requires a heightened level of scrutiny. The desire for AI sovereignty is much stronger than a policy concern — it must comply with strict legal mandates and AI-specific legislation such as the EU AI Act; this is critical for national security and economic interests. They are driven by the control over key enablers of AI development, deployment, and the implications of global access and collaboration. What do all the stakeholders have to gain from enterprise software markets operating within these massive ecosystems? ISVs, this is your opportunity to leverage these marketplaces and ecosystems to develop AI models and create AI solutions that address these challenges — making your solutions a critical asset to organizations for deploying enterprise solutions at scale. This post was written by VP, Research Director Linda Ivy-Rosser and Principal Analyst Faram Medhora, the blog originally featured here.
