How Ecosystems Can Solve Critical Enterprise AI Problems
While many consumers are enjoying Artificial Intelligence (AI) benefits, particularly the generative elements of it, lately, several risks have surfaced with Enterprise AI, among which are security, privacy, accuracy, relevancy, and timeliness.

Here is a brief that summarizes seven of them along with some accompanying thoughts. 1. Ecosystem Evolution: Awareness […]
Driving Revenue-Readiness with End-End Ecosystem Certification
In this article learn how end-to-end ecosystem enablement and certification are driving revenue-readiness by addressing four major factors: 1. Standardization Challenge: End-to-end certification is complex due to varying processes and systems among providers and partners. TIDWIT takes complexity out of the equation.2. Automation Mastery: Certification isn’t just about data; it’s a journey involving skilling, learning, […]
Eco-Enable or Eco-Sell: Chicken or Egg?
Does enablement really matter if sales aren’t realized first; or can one really sell without being enabled? Several potential customers have recently asked whether they should prioritize eco-selling* or eco-enabling? This suggests three things: First, organizations realize the implicit importance of both. Second, that these two key ecosystem workloads at one point or another will […]
TIDWIT’s Future Ecosystem AI is NOW – Reflections on a Journey

According to Richard Liebert, formerly at UC Davis, “An ecosystem is a pattern of interaction among organisms […]
The Difference between Ecosystem Management Platforms (EMP) and Partner Relationship Management tools (PRM)
I often get asked by my customers what the difference is between an Ecosystem Management Platform (EMP) and a PRM. My typical answer is to ask whether they feel their problem is in the management of the ecosystem or a partner problem. What’s the difference some ask? I try to explain five main differences. First: […]
Five irreversible trends to be expected for ecosystem platforms in 2023
During 2022, it was great to see the ecosystem platform segment develop further and further. Tools have been expanding and communities of practitioners are popping up to discuss the ecosystem paradigm in its multi-dimensional scope as opposed to traditional tools that were fairly flat and portal orientated. As the ecosystem platform market matures, there have […]
Ecosystems & Blockchain
I find the coolest part of my job is listening to ways our customers and partners are using our ecosystem technology– in many cases in ways that we had never thought of. Here’s a case that blew me away recent: Deploying TIDWIT Ecosystems instead of Blockchain! Say what?!!! We had never thought about it in […]
5 Keys to Unlocking the Value of your Virtual Ecosystem
In previous blogs, I have shared with my community thoughts on how virtual ecosystems have become the next frontier of the digital transformation journey, and how ecosystem computing appears to be emerging as the next generation of cloud computing. In a recent blog post, my colleague Jay McBain at Canalys talked about the “ecosystem multiplier” […]
