Digital Platform Partnerships Best Practices, Strategies & Use Cases, 2019 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Digital Platform Partnerships Best Practice" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Participation in a successful digital platform is key for telcos to retain relevance through their digital transformation.

At the core of success for a digital platform is the ecosystem that drives activity, innovation and monetisation. The ecosystem is key to building capabilities as well as enabling access to adjacent market opportunities. APIs from telcos are also key to platform success, and telco participation, therefore, ensures continued market relevance.

This report examines differing telco platform approaches and identifies optimum strategies.

Inspirations

• Relatively poor competitiveness of telcos in digital space
• Redefinition over time of connectivity as a utility
• Growing importance of digital platform ecosystems

Issues

• Need for trust to build the platform ecosystem
• Successful platforms create barriers to late entrants
• There will be less successful platforms than telcos

Implications

• Platform strategies should already be in place
• Winning platforms won't be limited by telco needs
• Better to join with un-owned platforms than not participate
