Abstract— Rapid advances in cloud, mobile, social media and big data technologies are changing the ways that people work, and disrupting every industry. The inter-dependencies between mobile computing, social media, cloud computing, and big data technologies is called ‘The Third Computing Platform’. Industry cloud platforms have already emerged in a wide variety of industries, including telecommunications, finance, retail, healthcare, logistic and manufacturing. The emergence of the Third Platform across different industries can create new types of digital disruption and transformation. Therefore, today, competitive advantages are being built by integrating cloud, mobile, social and big data technologies. To response to these dynamics, enterprises and organizations in both private and public sectors are undertaking digital transformation initiatives to sustain and gain more their competitive advantages. The objectives of this paper are to study the next-generation computing platform (The Third Platform) and propose a transformation framework to help an enterprise to implement the successful transformation. To achieve the objectives of the research, this paper uses both primary and secondary qualitative data to create the enterprise transformation framework.
