The business models of technology providers are being changed forever.
Entering 2020, there were two trends in how enterprises consume technology that were dismantling the traditional technology business models:
- Pivot from caring about product differentiation to caring about value realization and business outcomes.
- Preference for purchasing XaaS offers versus owning technology assets.
COVID-19 proved the great accelerator for both of these trends. This acceleration has shined an even brighter light on the chasm that is opening between technology providers positioned to succeed in the post-COVID environment, and those that are falling behind by running traditional technology business models.
Regardless if you are a hardware company, software company, value-added reseller, or a managed service provider, you either have the capabilities that will win market share in 2021, or you do not. You may have some of the capabilities. Or you may be debating how quickly you need to build these capabilities. Our observation is simple: the time for debate is over.
