There seems to be a significant shift in recent years in strategic thinking about why and when a technology company should consider building or joining an ecosystem, that is, a network of partners, third party vendors, evangelists, and plug-ins providers that revolve around the company's core technologies and product offerings.In the past, only large, established technology behemoths like Microsoft, IBM or Apple talked about building and growing an ecosystem. In those cases, the `behemoth' at the center of the ecosystem typically wields enormous influence on their partners and often defines the character of the network. Nevertheless, the rise in prominence of such ecosystems has given popularity to the idea that having a value-adding network of partners and collaborative organizations can be an important competitive advantage. Large companies have been very successful at doing so, but we are also seeing the rise of another type of more diffused, less centralized ecosystems that arise organically between technology companies that are more equal and collaborative partners. Given the growing partnership ecosystem, we decided to focus on two of the most influential technology partner ecosystems that have changed the way technology services are delivered. We put together two sets of lists for the top 20 most promising IBM partners and the top 20 most promising Google partners. We genuinely hope these vendors and solution providers stand the test of productivity and efficiency and help your business focus more on your core competencies, while they take care of your IT woes. As for the ecosystem network; about time the small business board the `behemoth' technologies to make things work out better. Emmanuel Christi DasAsst. Managing Editoremmanuel@cioreviewindia.com.
