Equinix : How to Cultivate a Flourishing Digital Ecosystem with Equinix Marketplace

With digital driving fundamental changes in every aspect of our lives and businesses, it is not surprising that in 2022 more than half the global economy is expected to be based on or influenced by digital.^[1] As we are increasingly moving to a digital world, leaders are all rethinking the way they connect and interact with partners and customers. This transformation process has led to the emergence of digital ecosystems and keeps raising the bar for business. The latest volume of the Global Interconnection Index (GXI) predicts that by 2025, 75% of leading organizations will leverage on digital platforms and ecosystem capabilities to adapt their value chains to new markets, industries and ecosystems.

The report also indicates that almost a third of all global interconnection locations have high concentrations of specific industry and ecosystem clusters colocated. Globally, Service Providers interconnect on average with over 100 discrete partners while digital enterprises and digital native SaaS companies directly interconnect with 30 or more partners.

Without a doubt, faced with today's constantly evolving and fast-changing landscape, digital leaders are becoming increasingly dependent on partner collaboration as IT strategies shift from building technology to integrating digital building blocks from many different sources. This makes a platform like Equinix Marketplace, where businesses can bring together all the right places, partners and possibilities, exceptionally key to business success. By capitalizing on digital marketplaces for exponential capabilities and speed, digital leaders are able to level the playing field and move faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.
