Device management seeks differentiation as market matures
As the long wait for the volume of IoT devices in deployment to grow from millions to billions starts to end, renewed attention is focusing on device management.
It’s now well-understood that the more devices deployed, the greater the management requirement has become and, like everything in IoT from computing power to connectivity, the cost must match the business case of the IoT service itself.
It’s entirely possible to have effective IoT device management with providers of platforms, systems and services proliferating. However, it’s more difficult to achieve this within the cost constraints imposed by ensuring IoT services are profitable.
