What is the value of defining "platform host" Business Applications

Hello Everyone,

 

can anyone please help me see the value of defining the "platform host" type of Business Apps?

 

My understanding is that for EA/design, the "platform app" level is most critical since those are the ones used for TCO/Rationalization/Capability mapping?

 

It also does not seem necessary from operations perspective, since any platform-level task can be handled via App Service.

 

What value or usage do you see if you are currently using this setup?

Many thanks!

Is it something you purchase and install on your infrastructure and run as an enterprise application or is it something that is hosted and maintained by them (or someone else)? I think that is one way to determine if it is COTS or XaaS.
