Current research on cloud computing emphasizes the
important role of Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
providers. However, little is known about how PaaS
providers can offer value to the content providers
and firms operating the platform. The findings
demonstrate how a small PaaS provider in the cloud
gaming market was able to develop a strong position
in the value network by offering direct and indirect
value to its partners. The findings also reveal how
the firm developed its value network over fourteen
years, from a complex network with several actors to
a very simple value network which included only
partners of prime importance.
