  text: 'Hardly any other area has as much disruptive potential as digital platforms
    in the course of digitalization. After serious changes have already taken place
    in the B2C sector with platforms such as Amazon and Airbnb, the B2B sector is
    on the threshold to the so-called platform economy. In mechanical engineering,
    pioneers like GE (PREDIX) and Claas (365FarmNet) are trying to get their hands
    on the act. This is hardly a promising option for small and medium-sized companies,
    as only a few large companies will survive. Small and medium-sized enterprises
    (SMEs) are already facing the threat of losing direct consumer contact and becoming
    exchangeable executers. In order to prevent this, it is important to anticipate
    at an early stage which strategic options exist for the future platform economy
    and which adjustments to the product program should already be initiated today.
    Basically, medium-sized companies in particular lack a strategy for an advantageous
    entry into the future platform economy. The paper presents different approaches
    to master the challenges of participating in the platform economy by using platform
    patterns. Platform patterns represent proven principles of already existing platforms.
    We show how we derived a catalogue with 37 identified platform patterns. The catalogue
    has a generic design and can be customized for a specific use case. The versatility
    of the catalogue is underlined by three possible applications: (1) platform ideation,
    (2) platform development, and (3) platform characterization.'
