Today, nearly every business is undergoing digital transformation—or is about to start. As digital technologies and strategies become a given, companies now face the challenge of identifying the factors that can give them an edge. Company culture, executive sponsorship, talent—all of these play an important part, but there's one differentiator that is the most important of all: digital platforms. In fact, 86 percent of executives say that platforms are the critical factor for success in the digital economy. The reason why is clear: Eighty-four percent of customers are demanding more digital products than ever before and platforms are the most seamless, cost-effective way to meet these demands.

Indeed, almost seven out of 10 executives, 68 percent, say ecosystems are the only way to innovate quickly to meet customer demands.
