The value of ecosystems with EY

The tech industry loves a good acronym or term to describe something that isn’t that interesting in order to make it sound exciting. Examples include ERP, HCM, AI, ML and, of course, the most overused example, digital transformation.

Another term that’s grown in popularity recently which everybody seems to be using to describe collections of people and partners in a variety of different domains, is ecosystems.

An ecosystem in its purest form is meant to be an organic living thing, growing as part of its broader environment. But what does it mean exactly for enterprise tech?

To find out, EY partners Anthony Byrne and Laura Atkinson talk to ERP Today Live! to answer some questions about the value of ecosystems, along with their own interpretations of technology’s hottest new term.
