Platform-centered business models

A new wave of platform thinking is creating opportunities for companies to accelerate reinvention and value-creation.​

Platform-centered business models facilitate interactions and share data and experiences across the enterprise and beyond—seamlessly connecting user bases and creating stickiness with customers. They enable companies to assemble and launch new services for consumption quickly, reuse models that are open and adaptable across the enterprise and scale farther, faster. ​

Ever-evolving technology is at the core of modern platforms that power continuous innovation and adaptability. Cloud is both​ the foundation and the enabler: Platforms are built upon and activate opportunities across the Cloud Continuum, encompassing data, AI, and Edge. Modern, ecosystem-oriented platforms allow emerging technologies to be integrated and new partnerships to be forged, broadening the possibilities.​
