Gartner said the so-called Nexus of Forces, which refers to the "convergence of social, mobility, cloud and information that drive new business scenarios," helped the major players to post decent growth.
"As enterprises increasingly digitalize their products and services, digital giants -- Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent -- can become involved in, or even take over, the digital experience," it added. (Yonhap)
