Platform roadmap

Summary

Business related Peers which are real-world organisations. The Platform is a specific kind of business template, tightly integrated with the Peer interface, which allows easy management of multiple outlets and network organisations. The first business to be based on the Platform template will be Organic Design. Organic Design will effectively be field-testing and troubleshooting the business template and also leading by example in its implementation of the Peer software and integrated business systems templates.

Interface

Just like all Peer interfaces, Platform Control will exhibit blue, red and green aspects. This is the portal to the platform-based organisation, where everything runs together and which is used to run the organisation. The true test of the effectiveness of this interface will be whether someone (or a team) with no prior context could run the organisation using it.
