What is a Digital Ecosystem?

With the result of the recent pandemic the world no longer functions on the one-solution-fits-all approach. Thus, giving birth to a newer business model – the digital ecosystem.

A digital ecosystem is a dynamic, interconnected network that necessitates reliable communication among its customers and trading partners. An ecosystem is an adaptive, interconnected network of features that provide a holistic solution to streamlining business processes and effectively managing customer relationships.

What are the Benefits of an Ecosystem

As cliche as it may seem but with a solid digital ecosystem, the possibilities are endless. An ecosystem allows you to create a holistically connected, cross-device system that helps automate the processes of your business. An ecosystem that does not depend on external applications for it to fully function. Here’s how an ecosystem can benefit your business overall.

Sales

An ecosystem can mitigate your sales team’s workload by creating a visual system that allows them to manage their sales pipelines and current and future deals in just a few clicks. This shortens your entire sales cycle ensuring that your team can focus on making sales. When you’re in the right focus, you can secure clients as soon as possible, reducing the threat of competition.

Marketing

You can accelerate your marketing strategy through an ecosystem’s campaign management, marketing automation, email marketing features, and more. These features allow its users to personalize, organize, and automate their marketing campaigns without even breaking a sweat.

You can augment your online presence without having to fuzz over the process. Now, you can focus on creating content that adds value to your campaign that leads to conversions.

Tools and Integration

Better tools for better business. There are plenty of external apps that you can integrate to your ecosystem, such as personal apps, PSP apps, live chat apps, and identity verification apps.

What are the challenges of Migrating to a Digital Ecosystem?

Manual tasks may seem harmless upfront, but in reality they do more harm than good. Studies show that office workers spend 69 days a year on administrative tasks, costing companies $5 trillion a year.

Still not convinced yet? 45% of current paid activities can be automated by today’s technology, that is an equivalent of $2 trillion in total annual wages.

Manual tasks create more room for errors. The more manual tasks you have, the more you need to reinvent your entire process. Why? Out of every 100 steps, a human is likely to make 10 errors, even when carrying out somewhat redundant work.

Moving out from your manual methods does not come easy. But it doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Here are some of the challenges you might face when you move out from your manual methods.
