There’s nothing like the feeling of your first successful IoT project. Organizations are excited by the new capabilities, process improvements, and opportunities delivered by their initial IoT deployments. The possibilities are endless. However, complexity increases greatly as organizations broaden the scope and scale of their IoT deployments. Managing numerous devices across a variety of wireless carriers and connectivity technologies can become a daunting task. The good news is that a single IoT connectivity management system can solve many of these challenges by efficiently monitoring all devices across the enterprise, adjusting rate plans, and managing connections across multiple carriers around the world.
IoT is creating many exciting opportunities for organizations, while at the same time introducing new risks and liabilities – particularly concerning network and security management. Because IoT applications interact with the physical world, a security breach can result in injury or property damage in addition to data loss/theft. These risks are particularly high when an IoT application is used to monitor critical infrastructure.
Enterprise software deployments are costly and complicated and come with significant risk. Gartner estimates that between 55 percent and 75 percent of ERP deployments fail to meet their objectives. In 2015, the Standish Group’s CHAOS Report claimed that just 29 percent of enterprise management information systems (MIS) projects were considered successful.

Technology has transformed the way people interact with service. With the rise of chatbots and AI functionality, customers expect on-demand service whenever and wherever they are. However, there’s a delicate balance to maintain when some customers still have a preference or require a live agent for support. How can businesses provide the freedom of self-service, without sacrificing the customer experience and your support team’s efficiency?
