The Platforum have produced a white paper dated March 2010 which takes a look at this emerging part of the platform market. The paper reviews lessons to be learnt from IFA platforms, what the employee and employer needs are and what 'building blocks' are available today to launch such a platform. Are these platforms a lot of hot air or the next big thing? Thanks to our sponsors of this white paper - GBST, Logica and Staffcare.
