Why choose a cloud based IoT Platform?
Internet of Things and the cloud computing revolution have changed everything.
Perhaps the most significant recent development in IoT platform systems has been the move into the cloud from on-premises IoT plataform software.
Freed from the need to install software on hundreds or thousands of desktop computers and mobile devices, organizations worldwide are discovering the benefits of moving data, software, and services into a secure online environment.
A cloud-based IoT plaftform has the following benefits:
- Faster deployment
- Automatic software updates
- Reduce costs while scaling quickly
- Work from anywhere, on any device
- Increased collaboration
- Faster deployment
A cloud-based IOT platform solution is extremely quick and easy to get up and running as it doesn’t need to go through any laborious installation or implementation process. This keeps IT costs low and removes the headache of version control and update schedules.
- Automatic software updates
Cloud systems are updated in real time by the provider. So there is no system downtime or additional charges due to hardware, software or server maintenance or upgrading. It’s also one less thing that the IT team need to manage. Generally, cloud-based IoT platform systems are priced on the number of datasources.
With reduced up-front costs and consistent, predictable pricing over time, cloud IoT platfrom can be very cost-effective in terms of capital outlay. It’s also extremely flexible – offering scaling simply by just adding more datasources to the system as the business grows.
- Work from anywhere, on any device
Cloud-based IoT plataform ensure every user has the same information, all the time. The same information is available to anyone who needs it, from the board to technicians.
With a cloud-based IoT Platform, physically separated teams can work together without the need for significant infrastructure investment. Shared platforms make working together simpler, with common tools, formats and reporting. Staff from different teams, sites and even territories can easily connect with each other and smartly share data to support the effort of the overall team.
