16. Accelerates Development & Business Agility
“How can a major business segment be invaded and
conquered by an upstart with none of the resources
deemed essential for survival, let alone market dominance?
The answer is the Power of the Platform - a new
business model that uses technology to connect people,
organizations, and resources in an interactive ecosystem.”
