This document discusses OIES Consulting's services for selecting an Internet of Things (IoT) platform. It outlines a multi-step process they use, including developing a shortlist of 5-6 platforms by matching client business needs to their taxonomy of platform capabilities. They then perform hands-on testing, questionnaire analysis, and technical, functional, development, and business assessments of shortlisted platforms. OIES assists clients with requests for information and proposals, evaluation criteria, and makes an unbiased recommendation on the optimal platform. Their goal is to apply experience to make a fact-based purchasing decision that meets current and future requirements.
