BUILD VS. BUY – Manufacturers’ Biggest IoT Decision: Build or Buy an IoT Platform?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing manufacturing as we know it. 

From boosting efficiency, to reducing costs, and gaining a competitive edge, the IoT is widely seen as the future for manufactured products.

When approaching the IoT market, manufacturers are likely to make a huge mistake: underestimating what it really takes to make that leap. 

That’s because it requires expertise and experience in every aspect of IoT operation – from the communications chips embedded in the connected product, through cloud computing and network security, to end-user control of the product via a mobile or web-based application— to create a high-quality connected product.
