From healthcare to retail, utilities to manufacturing, smart cities, and logistics, the internet of things (IoT) is transforming the business landscape at a break-neck pace.
Organizations are leveraging these new capabilities to enter new markets, deliver personalized customer experiences, create safer work environments, and, of course, turn insights into profit gains.
Yet, along with that tremendous value comes a long list of complicated processes, security risks, and the need for organizational change and expertise most organizations lack.
What’s more, one unsecured device or poorly-configured component can bring down your entire system and may lead to devastating real-world consequences.
While IoT is becoming critical for businesses to remain competitive, transformation is a high stakes affair.
Tiempo’s IoT solutions and consulting services address the end-to-end transformation process, ensuring clients have the solutions, strategy, and insights needed to extract the most value from their IoT system.
Here’s a bit more about how we can help.
What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?
Before we get into what kinds of IoT services we offer, let’s first define what, exactly, IoT is.
To put it simply, the internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interconnected devices, sensors, hardware, and software (known as “things”) that capture and transmit data over a wireless network without the need for human intervention. Common examples of IoT devices include industrial robotics, smart meters, and sensors that track machine performance, monitor environmental conditions, and inventory levels.
They collect and transmit data, enabling users to view insights or control devices from a cloud-based app.
The IoT is also an essential part of “Industry 4.0,” described by Deloitte as the marriage of advanced manufacturing processes with the IoT to create a system of interconnected devices that communicate and analyze data, allowing organizations to drive action in the physical world.
Factories might apply sensors to production equipment and assets, sometimes spread across several locations, allowing for remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and the ability to identify opportunities to streamline operations.
A Proven IoT Solutions Partner
As mentioned, IoT is a broad category that encompasses sensors, equipment, connectivity solutions, and even AI-enabled robots, as well as advanced analytics, applications, services, and cybersecurity.
While every client engagement comes with a unique set of use cases and a personalized tech stack, here are some examples of the internet of things services that our experts provide:
- IoT Design & Build. Already have an idea for a new product or application that can benefit from IoT technology? Tiempo’s IoT experts can bring that vision to life whether you’re after a custom inventory management system, a smarter logistics solution, or any idea you need brought to life.
- IoT Provisioning Services. Tiempo offers an IoT provisioning service that helps clients ensure that all IoT devices, equipment, sensors, etc. are configured, with security embedded into the entire system, and seamless communication between devices.
- IoT System Integration. Our integration services help you get the most out of your IoT investment, ensuring that data captured from smart devices syncs with the business applications you use every day. Tiempo pros can connect your IoT devices, IT assets, and SaaS tools like your ERP and supply chain management system, setting the stage for end-to-end efficiency.
- IoT Platform as a Service (PaaS). Instead of building your entire IoT ecosystem internally, Tiempo experts can leverage existing PaaS offerings to speed up your time-to-market, gain access to real-time analytics, and manage all devices, software, and security solutions remotely.
- IoT Cybersecurity. According to SonicWall’s 2019 threat report, IoT attacks increased by 55% compared to the previous year. Security is one of the biggest risks associated with introducing IoT devices into existing operations. Tiempo’s high-performing teams can help you develop a comprehensive IoT ecosystem that streamlines data flow at the edge, in the cloud, and while in transit. We’ll help you prevent tampering from external sources and protect sensitive information throughout the entire system.
Define, Implement, & Refine Your Strategy with Tiempo’s IoT Consulting Services
As an IoT consulting company, our goal is to help our clients realize their business goals by assisting them in building a comprehensive IoT strategy that covers everything from planning and implementation to developing pilot projects, creating a roadmap, and ensuring no endpoint goes unsecured.
Here are some examples of how our IoT consulting services help clients succeed:
- Defining the Business Case. Without a use case, IoT projects won’t provide much value. Our expert consultants will work closely with your team to define clear use cases, identify opportunities, and help you develop a pilot project and establish the key metrics that prove the value of your work. We’ll even help you convince key stakeholders that IoT brings a significant competitive advantage to the table.
- Auditing & Readiness. Tiempo Dev’s IoT consulting team can also help your organization map out existing assets and capabilities, and from there, learn more about your needs. Our team will then assess your organization’s IoT readiness and work to develop a plan to prepare for transformation.
- Implementation Roadmap. After we’ve determined your organization’s readiness, we’ll put together a detailed plan for implementation with a laser focus on your unique goals.
- Culture & Organizational Support. Tiempo’s high-performing teams are Agile “pros.” We help clients incorporate new processes, proof-of-concept, and embrace a more collaborative working style.
- Advanced Analytics. Tiempo’s IoT consultants also bring advanced analytics expertise to the table. We help clients extract actionable insights out of massive data sets.
