- AWS is a widely used Microsoft cloud platform.
- It offers reliable, scalable, and inexpensive cloud computing services.
- Users only pay for the services they use.
- Managing AWS can consume significant time resources, which can be efficiently allocated through expert services such as assessments, managed services, and migration.

- Utility Platforms: Offer useful, typically free services. Once a critical mass of users is reached, the platform opens to other participants (like advertisers). Google Search is an example.
- Interaction Networks: Facilitate interactions between people or businesses. Interactions take various forms (messages, voice calls, images), and are anchored to specific accounts. Examples include Facebook and WeChat.
- Marketplaces: Enable transactions between buyers and sellers. Prices are determined by the supply side, and variety is a key factor for success. Examples include eBay and Amazon Marketplace, as well as local platforms like Lazada, Shopee and Zalora.
