    Online Platforms as Tools for ICT Content Development

    • Online platforms are used as tools for developing ICT content.

    Types of Software Platforms

    • Technology platforms provide reusable building blocks or services for many products.
    • Innovation occurs when developers integrate these building blocks into their products, increasing platform adoption.

    Amazon Web Services (AWS)

    • 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.

    Other Platform Types

    • 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.
    • On-Demand Service Platforms: Deliver end-to-end services with independent service providers/contractors, differing significantly from marketplaces. Uber, Grab, Maxim, Lalamove and JnT are examples.

    • Data Harvesting Platforms: Offer a useful service to users and generate data through usage, with user data forming a key aspect of the platform. Waze is an example.

    • Cloud Computing: Remote server networks for data storage, management and processing instead of individual servers or computers. Google Drive, Evernote, Dropbox, iCloud and OneDrive are examples.
    • Advantages of Cloud Computing: No installation required; saves hard disk space; easy access from anywhere with internet connection; avoids software and additional hard drive costs; automatic updates; low system requirements; and easier backup and recovery.
    • Disadvantages of Cloud Computing: Slow internet speed can hamper performance; might need a compatible browser; doesn't own the software and may be subject to outages or security risks; and limited control over the infrastructure.
    • Social Media: Websites/online channels enabling users to create, co-create, discuss, and exchange user-generated content.
      • Types of Social Media: Social Networks; Bookmarking sites; Social News; Media Sharing; Microblogging; Blogs and Forums. Examples include Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, Twitter, and Blogger.
