Technology companies should forget about the Consumption and Adoption of their IT services. It’s all about Value Co-Creation according to UTS Researcher Calum Davis UTS Business School Researcher Calum Davis undertook a research project as part of his honours thesis under the supervision of Dr. Renu Agarwal, a senior lecturer and research director at UTS Business School. Calum’s research advanced a new model of service science depicting how organisations co-create value through the usage of cloud technology and developed a framework of assessing its impact on an organisation’s capabilities in gaining competitive advantage. Calum, who is a specialist on Microsoft’s cloud platform Azure has noted that “In the new world where technology is now delivered to organisations on demand, enterprises have never been more flexible and reliable to service their stakeholders”. The collaborative project between the UTS Business School and Microsoft, identified key attributes of the value co-created through the usage of cloud technology and facilitate the method of understanding its impact on organisation’s value generating capabilities has been seen as a success.
Over the course of an 11 month project, Mr Davis conducted research with organisation’s that relied on the Microsoft platform for their business and organisational operations. As service orientated logic (developed by Vargo and Lusch) moves into the realm of cloud computing, the nature of information technology (IT) moves from a resource acquisition to a resource consumption model, providing organisations a wide range of options for service experience. Ben Di Qual, Cloud and Enterprise Technical lead noted that “the way that organisations consume value is reliant on the service provider (in this case Microsoft) aligning as closely as possible with the strategic goals of the organisation, not just that of the IT department. This research is not just applicable to a provider such as Microsoft, but all technology companies providing a service that provides on-demand resources to a broad network of users”. Christian Longstaff, Senior Cloud Business Development manager noted “such insight provides us first how are customers are behaving and why. This leads to the business to far more of a partnership and trusted advisor approach which only grows the new ventures with our customers. We are at the end of the day providing the building blocks for their business to grow. Calum Davis, Dr Agarwal and Microsoft saw this collaboration as a highly successful partnership with many more developments in the works. The output of this research gained Calum a first class honours. He describes the project as valuable stepping stone on the cutting edge of cloud computing. This work also opens Calum up to several avenues in the industry of cloud computing to further investigate the relationship of value co-creation theory with value chain models to assist organisations to optimise resources and establish strategic advantage. The findings can be used to assist the growing cloud services industry, with many organisations adopting this model for their own IT departments. UTS remains at the forefront of this innovation, with a focus on developing further research on technology-as-service and providing guidance to organisations going through such a transformation as well as providing insights to the providers on co-creating value with their customers.
