Things to Consider When Choosing an IoT Connectivity Partner

1. Connectivity Requirements

Every industry has specific connectivity requirements that are solved  with a given set of plans. As businesses work to stay connected, determining which plans are most beneficial for a given industry is paramount.

For example, manufacturers may require connectivity services with dependable machine-to-machine (M2M) plans that can help manage  material logistics and delivery. Retail institutions may require a failover plan that keeps their Point of Sale running around the clock without disruptions.

Solutions providers need to determine all of their client’s business requirements and the right connectivity service option. Finding a flexible partner who can provide a range of connectivity services is a critical factor.It can even lead to a competitive advantage over other similar solution providers.

2. Scalability

As businesses grow solution providers must be able to scale their offerings without creating an additional burden on IoT management. A dependable IoT connectivity partner helps providers scale their services without sacrificing functionality or security.

As businesses consume more data across more devices, IoT platforms, like CAMP™, can help simplify IoT connectivity management. This allows solution providers to efficiently manage data plans and scale. Features such as Future ticketing allows solution providers to avoid costly mistakes. It is critical that your platform allows you to instantly activate, suspend and restore services. Usage and Roaming alerts help keep costs down and give an early warning.

3. End to End Solutions

Rather than working with multiple vendors, businesses understand the value in services managed by a single provider. Solution providers seeking to solve those business needs must provide complete IoT solutions that include additional connectivity services.

To accomplish this, it is necessary to have an IoT connectivity partner with a flexible variety of services including hardware. One that can deliver a seamless user experience as well as ease the wireless management process for providers.

4. Flexibility

Providers can’t know what their clients’ future plans hold. They must have an IoT connectivity partner, who can provide the most flexible rates and services without sacrificing connectivity quality. This ensures a smooth transition when the business changes . Custom rate plans allow providers to pay for connectivity services without wastage. Pooled plans is a great way to avoid excess charges.

Getting stuck with a poor vendor that doesn’t meet their clients changing needs will eventually become costly and time-consuming, ultimately stunting business growth and their margins.
