11 Digitaalisen alustatalouden tiekartasto, 2017 Digitaalisuus mahdollistaa alustojen tehokkuuden ja sitä kautta tuottavuuden moninkertaisen kasvattamisen, sillä alustojen palvelukokonaisuudet ovat suoraan valmiina jaeltaviksi globaaleille markkinoille. Samalla alustalla voi myydä ristiin, tarjota täydentäviä palveluja, nopeuttaa uusille markkinoille siirtymistä tai vaikka integroida muiden hyviä tuotepalvelukokonaisuuksia osaksi omaa kokonaistarjontaa Tämän päivän Suomessa kasvua on haettava palvelullistumisesta, dataan perustuvasta arvonluonnista ja verkostomallien tehokkaasta hyödyntämisestä.
