There are immense challenges involved in moving beyond the development sandbox and into real commercial, large scale IoT deployments. Several key ingredients are required that trial projects have been able to run without being in place but, with the projected billions of connections poised to become a reality, it’s time to ask the serious and fundamental question: Are you IoT ready?
A brand new ‘Get IoT Ready’ toolkit has just been released and provides six essential resources to demystify, inform and help you identify your level of readiness for the IoT mass market.
These resources follow and inform the journey most companies go on as they formulate their IoT strategy. They explore in great depth the vital areas for success with real-life IoT projects, namely: IoT Service Platforms, Application Enablement Platforms, Scalability, The Build vs. Buy Question, How to Select the Right IoT Platform, and How to Figure out the ROI for IoT.
It’s clear that the tipping point when IoT deployments start to mature into the mainstream and stop being focused on trials and tests is fast approaching. However, arriving too early with immature technology that has not been developed with huge scale in mind could be a disaster.
The aim of this new IoT Toolkit is to inform and prepare companies for the challenging decisions of moving IoT from the test bench to the mainstream, mass market.
Each item of the toolkit is available as a free download at www.getiotready.com.
