09 Oct Experience the Future of Tech Ecosystems at IDC Alliance

International Data Corporation (IDC), a global leader in providing market intelligence and advisory services for the ICT community, is thrilled to unveil an extraordinary convergence of tech visionaries, disruptors, and leaders for its prestigious ecosystem-focused event series, IDC Alliance, with events taking place in South Africa on October 27th-28th.

“With the expansion of this year’s IDC Alliance, we’re excited to introduce two exceptional platforms where the brightest minds in technology will converge to drive innovation, collaboration, and progress,” says Jyoti Lalchandani, IDC’s group vice president and regional managing director for the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa. “These events stand as a testament to IDC’s commitment to nurturing technology ecosystems across the Middle East and Africa.”

With a focus on cultivating partnerships and navigating the dynamic tech landscape, IDC Alliance will gather the industry’s most influential figures under one roof. These destination conferences will bridge the gap between technology leaders, start-ups, cloud specialists, distributors, vendors, and select enterprise CIOs, creating a unique platform for innovative ideas, transformative insights, and unparalleled networking opportunities.

“Today’s technology landscape demands rapid adaptation and innovation,” says Steven Frantzen, IDC’s senior vice president and managing director in the EMEA region.

Ecosystem strategies are taking a new turn as customer needs and desires steer their evolution. IDC’s projection that 70% of vendors will adopt a customer-led ecosystem orchestration strategy by 2025 underscores the industry’s shift toward collaborative innovation. These dynamic ecosystems will foster symbiotic relationships between multiple entities, such as ISVs, hyperscalers, telcos, service providers, and partners. This interconnectedness is set to deliver specialized solutions tailored to individual customer needs.
