Rivalry can be assessed across systems integration, software development, digital transformation and infrastructure delivery. Buyer power is relevant where large enterprises use formal procurement, technical evaluations or multi-supplier sourcing.

Political factors can include public priorities and procurement environments; economic factors can affect enterprise technology budgets and infrastructure spending.
