Today, servitization has reached its saturation point as enterprises in almost every business and continent pursued it as a differentiation strategy. Data analytics may offer the next frontier of innovation and hold the potential for enterprises to create value for their customers. Nevertheless, organizations face a series of barriers when utilizing the technologies. We apply a rigorous qualitative analysis process based on grounded theory and interview data of 15 business-to-business companies that already successfully utilize data analytics to create value for their customers. We analyzed our results in the lights of the barriers organization face in servitization and reveal that data analytics adds an additional layer of complexity. Our work contributes to the fundamental understanding of organizational transformation and should provide concrete guidance to business leaders on how to address transformation regarding the utilization of data and analytics.

shift from selling products to selling integrated
products and services that deliver value in use”
(Baines, Lightfoot, Benedettini, et al. 2009, p.

Motivations to servitize:
competitive motivations
demand-based motivations
economic motivations
Servitization has been the leading trend in
Europe to capture additional value and for
differentiation from low-cost markets

Big Data and Advanced Analytics holds great potential for
existing businesses
From 2013 to 2020, the digital universe will
grow by a factor of 10
Most of the digital universe is transient (e.g.
unsaved Netflix or Hulu movie streams)
Current driver of this development is the
availability of:
Big Data (senosrs, social media, etc.)
Support enablement (methods and tools)
Capabilities (“Data science” educations)
Complementary technologies (cloud, mobile,etc.)

Our qualitative analysis of 15 datatized organizations provides a
comprehensive overview of the barriers organization face when
pursuing this advanced step of servitization.
Datatization opens up a wide space of research in the area of service science. There is
still need for more research in the field : e.g. (1) new value propositions that can be
created by data analytics, (2) revenue mechanisms that apply, (3) new networks that
form and (4) integration of data analytics in the development process of the organization
?Future Research
!Limitations
Focus on use of analytics for new value propositions (external focus only)
Focus on the transformation, not on non-trivial IT challenges
We have focused on the barriers and do not claim to give a full picture on possible
solutions
Conclusion
The use of data analytics for new offerings faces organizations with similar challenges
Datatization adds an additional lay of complexity to some aspects of the transformation

Notes de l'éditeur
In 2013: Only 22% of useful data
Of the useful data, in 2013 perhaps 5% was especially valuable, or "target rich“
By 2020: > 35% of useful data
By 2020: >10% of target rich data due to the growth of data from embedded systems
- Datatization = the innovation of an organization's capabilities and processes to change its value proposition by utilizing data analytics.
