The benefit of reading this article for Nextspace Partners lies in its structured depth, clear articulation of key benefits, with some quantified metrics. Here are some:

• Companies with high interoperability are 11% more likely to sustain compressed transformations(where a companies have to transform multiple parts of their business at the same time or execute a single large transformation much faster than ever before).
• Companies with high interoperability grew revenue 6X faster than their peers with low interoperability and are set to unlock an additional five percentage points in annual revenue growth.
• Companies with high interoperability are also more efficient, successful at customer experience, productive and sustainable.

The paper also mentions case studies:

• GN Group
• Qantas
• Life Science industry
• Travel industry

A third benefit is that the paper examines obstacles to interoperability.

• Enterprises have more choices today due to the large number of cloud-based applications available.
• More voices are involved in technology decision making.
• Other enterprises—60% of respondents in the study—are held back from improving interoperability becausethey struggle to align their application strategy with overall business goals.
• Another 57% cite lack of buy-in from senior leadership.
• 44% lack a clear ROI or business case.
• 34% believe interoperability is simply too expensive.

Finally the paper recommends three key actions:

• Leverage the cloud
• Invest in composable tech 
• Focus on meaningful collaboration.
