This IDC Government Insights study seeks to analyze the underlying factors for the birth, growth, and survival of cities today. Notably, the ability to create unique Smart City ecosystems remains paramount to continually attract investments and retain talents necessary to compete in an increasingly competitive global economy.
"The needs of various Smart City jurisdictions and/or functional capabilities are immensely unique and varied. While Strategic ICT sourcing techniques can be used to ensure clarity with the expected outcomes, enact new innovative ways of sourcing partnerships as well as secure long-term funding commitments, it is critical to exercise prudence considerations such as transparency and accountability to all stakeholders, and value-for-money ICT investments in Smart City undertakings," cautions Gerald Wang, research manager, IDC Government Insights.
"With the growing number of cities worldwide and rapid population urbanization, Smart City initiatives will be a crucial element of future socioeconomic sustainability in the Asia/Pacific region. Cities need to continually transform to survive, and this complex challenge span across multiple change domains such as socioeconomic, cultural, environment, and technological among others," adds Ekta Mishra, contributing analyst, IDC Government Insights.
"City planners and government leaders need to evaluate ICT 'build or buy' decisions meticulously and strategically, especially with today's emerging landscape of 3rd Platform technologies such as cloud computing, mobility, social networking and enterprise, and Big Data and analytics. In fact, leveraging these new technologies would notably shift the traditional way public sectors procure, use, maintain, and retire ICTs for transformative outcomes," says Wang.
Ruthbea Yesner Clarke, research director of the Smart Cities Strategies, IDC Government Insights, concludes, "Partnerships across the Smart City ecosystem will become paramount for cities to successfully implement transformative solutions that meet strategic goals. The procurement model is a key consideration within these government-supplier partnerships. From private-public partnerships to cloud sourcing and to risk sharing, all models need to be considered in terms of the best fit to meet financial and strategic requirements as well as manage risk. However, nothing should be off the table for discussion merely because it is innovative or new."
