Glossary
Platform absorption
Platform absorption is Limerine's term for a large software platform adding, as a native feature, a capability that customers used to buy separately.
Why it matters
A service built on a capability the platform will soon bundle has a short life.
How Limerine uses the term
We build the proprietary part that platforms cannot bundle, and we say plainly what they already do well.
