The proliferation of digital technologies and artificial intelligence solutions is accelerating business models characterized by steadily increasing data traffic. Data is the strategic resource for their success. Making the most of this valuable resource must be the goal of business ecosystems.
The new report on “Data Ecosystems” by the Fraunhofer ISST elaborates on the rising topic of data-driven ecosystems and how organizations can generate more value of existing data assets by using inter-organizational cooperation.
