_Platform Ecosystems_ is a hands-on guide that offers a complete
roadmap for designing and orchestrating vibrant software platform
ecosystems. Unlike software products that are managed, the evolution
of ecosystems and their myriad participants must be orchestrated
through a thoughtful alignment of architecture and governance.
Whether you are an IT professional or a general manager, you will
benefit from this book because platform strategy here lies at the
_intersection_ of software architecture and business strategy. It
offers actionable tools to develop your own platform strategy, backed
by original research, tangible metrics, rich data, and cases. You will
learn how architectural choices create organically-evolvable, vibrant
ecosystems. You will also learn to apply state-of-the-art research in
software engineering, strategy, and evolutionary biology to leverage
ecosystem dynamics unique to platforms. Read this book to learn how
to:
* Evolve software products and services into vibrant platform
ecosystems
* Orchestrate platform architecture and governance to sustain
competitive advantage
* Govern platform evolution using a powerful 3-dimensional framework
If you’re ready to transform platform strategy from newspaper gossip
and business school theory to real-world competitive advantage, start
right here!
* Understand how architecture and strategy are inseparably
intertwined in platform ecosystems
* Architect future-proof platforms and apps and amplify these choices
through governance
* Evolve platforms, apps, and entire ecosystems into vibrant
successes and spot platform opportunities in almost any—not just
IT—industry
