Abstract
Manufacturing firms can use equipment lifecycle data to enable industrial services. With the increased centrality of information technology, they may need cooperation with software providers, and this cooperation is still poorly understood. This study pursues increased understanding on the use of equipment lifecycle data in industrial services. An exploratory study with four software providers and two manufacturing firms reveals unexploited opportunities for industrial services through intensified triadic cooperation and clarifies the task division between manufacturing firms and software providers. A framework is suggested, on the conditions enabling and promoting success in the services based on equipment lifecycle data.
