Multiple blocks labeled “Provider 1”, “Provider 2”, and “Provider N” are arranged vertically on the left, each connected by arrows toward a large central area labeled “Value Contextualization” inside a “Customer” block. Within this central area, a dotted rectangle contains three boxes labeled “Application 1”, “Application 2”, and “Application N” with arrows indicating interactions between the applications, including bidirectional links among them.
