Today, companies can no longer design their Information Systems (IS) operating in a vacuum without opening an external interconnection.

In the new “digital” world, the least active service of resources not necessarily produced by the company that provides it is dependent on other services to which are connected.

The creation of value is within environments interconnected and the more nodes these environments have the more potential they gain.

This can be the origin of true business ecosystems as described by James F. Moore Success of GAFAM, NATU which is based on this principle.
