Yonyou Risks and Challenges
Yonyou’s cloud migration strategy demonstrates a strong reliance on strategic partnerships, notably its collaboration with Atos, which includes a joint investment in Yunano, a cloud-based CRM provider. While such alliances can accelerate innovation and market expansion, an overdependence on external partners introduces potential risks. These may include reduced control over critical initiatives, misaligned objectives, and exposure to partner performance variability. To ensure long-term success and resilience in its cloud transformation efforts, Yonyou must carefully manage these partnerships and consider diversifying its strategic alliances to maintain autonomy and operational stability.
