PST Electronic’s Recipe for Large Scale IoT Deployment Success: Leveraging a Single IoT Provider to Boost Outcomes

Recently, the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) has matured from home electronics and entertainment to smart buildings, healthcare, telematics, and beyond. It is now utilized in industries focused on pragmatic, global operations, which rely on guaranteed reliability. Functions like tracking packages, updating medical data, monitoring vehicles, and improving waste management and street lights can all now be managed remotely through smart devices wirelessly connected to a cloud-based IoT platform built for scale.

While many companies have IoT initiatives, some fall short on delivering integrated rollouts and may miss financial deadlines due to not having the right deployment strategy in place. With such a wide range of uses across industries, finding the best IoT platform partner to help accelerate global deployments is essential to guaranteeing efficiency and positioning businesses for success.

For businesses looking to expand their reach, partnering with a single IoT technology provider that is agile, scalable, and experienced can help improve business outcomes by reducing risk and costs. Let’s look at why a single provider can improve IoT deployment and see how the partnership between PST Electronics and Telit is a defining example of this winning strategy.

The Three-Fold Strategy for Success in IoT Deployment

Round-the-clock, or 24/7 management of devices and data plans shouldn’t be outsourced to multiple IoT providers. Large-scale operations have too many moving parts to spend all day tracking down solutions and policies across multiple contracts.

Whether you’re switching IoT providers or seeking solutions for a first-time partnership, your organization needs to find a provider with a proven track record across these three key points:

1. Agility

Does your IoT provider have readily available solutions to easily connect and manage devices, data, apps, and communicate through the cloud without custom development? An agile provider is one that is equipped with plug-and-play solutions that ease interoperability and interworking, resulting in faster deployment and time to value.

2. Scalability

Scalability refers to how flexible a company is when it comes to supporting connected devices, users, applications, and maintenance across each of their devices as their numbers increase. Scalability is

essential for handling the growth of the IoT market in the coming decade, where the number of connected devices is expected to grow to over 21 billion by 2020.

3. Experience

What is the track record of your IoT provider? Do they provide charted growth proven with data from case studies? What professional services are available from your IoT vendor? Do they offer 24/7 service and remote management? How far does your IoT provider’s global presence reach? Make sure you’re choosing a provider that can offer guidance dealing with your industry’s unique location and industry experiences.
