The document discusses the FISpace project, a B2B platform aimed at improving collaboration in agri-food, transport, and logistics sectors through enhanced information sharing and IoT integration. It outlines potential applications, business model considerations, and stakeholder challenges, emphasizing the need for a viable business model to demonstrate added value. The findings from thesis research indicate mixed perceptions of FISpace's uniqueness and the importance of stakeholder engagement and commitment.

- 13. What is a viable business model for the electronic business platform FIspace? Jaap van der Pol VU Amsterdam
- 14. Business model criteria •Efficiency •Uniqueness •Appropriateness •Profit boosters • FIspace aims to make businesses collaborate more efficient • More than half of the interviewees see FIspace as unique. • Consensus about some business model building blocks. • First mover advantage, reputational effects • Proof of added value is lacking. • A few stakeholders do not see why FIspace is unique. • Lack of consensus for other business model building blocks • Threat of other platforms + -
- 15. Platform challenges •User acquisition •Scaling up •Balancing interests • FIspace has a lot of stakeholders. Phase 3 brings even more. • Stakeholders are willing to spread the platform via their networks. Marquee users. • Stakeholders at all sides of the market are involved • Some stakeholders are not convinced of FIspace’s added value. There is no commercial drive behind it. • Stakeholders that are not convinced will not spread the platform • There has to be a viable business model for every individual stakeholder at all sides of the market + -
- 16. • Make FIspace more tangible – Calculate added value for apps and trials – Finish first version – Proof of principle – Decide on revenue streams – Find evangelists to take it beyond the development phase My advice for FIspace
Editor's Notes
- #5: Platform components: IoT Big Data Cloud hosting Service management Service mesh-up Security
- #6: These sectors together have a huge potential impact on the European economy and society. EU turnover: 1,500 billion € Efficiency: 148-220 billion € savings Sustainability: 26.5% of CO2 emissions Here you see a picture of the business network we are dealing with (farmers, carriers, retail, customs, etc.) They are challenged by all kind of ICT-related developments, such as: High-quality customer applications, end2end visibility, M2M communication, etc. But there are currently still quite some bottlenecks to be solved, such as: Interoperability between current inter-enterprise information systems (still use of paper, fax, phone, etc.) Tracking and tracing possibilities are still limited (especially e.g. if you want to know what happened to your food between production and consumption) Especially for SMEs, software is relatively expensive, while the need for flexible, customized solutions has increased These bottlenecks are the reason for current limited and rather fixed business collaboration networks, hampering innovation in general Through conceptual prototypes in phase 1 we have made it plausible that FI will significantly contribute to overcoming these bottlenecks by facilitating: ...seamless cross-organizational collaboration …unprecedented transparency, visibility and control of processes …rapid, easy, low cost development and deployment of customized solutions …agile formation of business networks and ecosystems
- #11: Both sides need to participate for the market to exist. Once it’s going, it’s easy to get going (like a snowball rolling down hill). Virtuous cycle. How to get started? And who is paying for this? For platforms, apps, and users
- #17: Supply driven
