Advantages of digital platforms

Integration

One digital business platform can support and integrate many different business processes, such as customer service, sales and communication. The most commonly integrated elements include payment systems, SMS gateways, storage and accounting systems.

Self-service

It’s not necessary to use the platform support of consultants. Platforms which connect consumers with providers allow users to communicate freely, and the entire transaction process is carried out automatically.

Community

The community of Digital Platform users – clients, business partners and employees – creates real value for digital platforms. The Airbnb application based on the pay-as-you-go business model connects 150,000,000 people from 190 countries (hosts, attractions organizers and travelers) who generate billions in revenue for the company.

Quick implementation of new services

The Digital Platform consists of many websites which are autonomous but cooperate perfectly – so-called microservices – thanks to which the process of implementing new services does not affect the functioning of others.

Trust

Thanks to the mechanisms of mutual assessment, consumers and providers have the opportunity to build trust, which has an impact on the trustworthiness of the platform and its owner.

New markets

Business development based on a Digital Platform allows you to open up to new clients by implementing innovative business models such as Software-as-a-Service (e.g. Netflix), Pay-as-You-Go (e.g. Airbnb), and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (e.g. Azure cloud).

Scalability

Properly prepared architecture of Digital Platforms enables you to scale resources according to your needs. During the holiday season, Amazon is fully functional for users even before Christmas, when the number of transactions carried out through the platform increases from 4 to 4.9 million.
