2. Digital product lifecycle

Starts with exploration:

  • Service consumer exploring the market for possible solutions
  • Service provider exploring market opportunities and potential customers

They may discover each other and engage, sometimes leading to a transaction

Before service is provided/consumed there are onboarding activities for both

Value is co‐created until consumer or provider terminate the agreement

Service provider and service consumer each have their own lifecycle:

  • These overlap during the period of engagement
  • Simplified version of lifecycle described in DSV: explore, onboard, co-create, offboard, retired
  Service provider Service consumer
Explore Research and develop product and service offering Become aware of product and service offering, assess it and enter into an agreement
Onboard Instance of the product is installed and user organization is onboarded, sometimes with a transition from a replaced product or service
