Traditional Enterprises Need Platform Businesses
The tech businesses you’re threatened by today are platforms. Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Alibaba, Google and even Uber, Airbnb, and Snapchat – are all 21st century modern monopolies.
We believe Silicon Valley shouldn’t be the only ones building successful platform businesses. At Applico, we identify direct platform threats to our enterprise clients and execute on building platform businesses that can grow into a modern monopoly. We even wrote a best-selling book on the topic of platform digital transformation, Modern Monopolies.
