The Need for a Flexible and Open IoT
Platform
1. Customizable platform
2. Reduces time to prototype/market from months to
weeks
3. Minimizes the cost and risk of application development
4. Can be easily tailored for multiple business applications
5. Capable of handling millions of devices and scale
elastically
6. As the platform evolves, you get new features for free
7. Speeds up the rule creation process
8. Easily handling data ownership for sharing and
monetizing
