Companies need actionable data, not to manage IoT technology
The evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) towards a Data as a Service (DaaS) model can help eliminate the complexity of IoT data acquisition. IoT involves collecting large amounts of data from connected sensors and devices, which can be difficult to manage and analyze. DaaS provides a solution to these challenges, allowing organizations to access and analyze IoT data through cloud-based services.
One of the main advantages of the IoT DaaS model is that it eliminates the need for organisations to manage the technical complexities of IoT data acquisition. Instead, DaaS providers handle complex tasks such as deploying antennas or sensors, transporting raw data to the cloud, and managing data, including cleaning, standardising, and aggregating it. This means that organisations can focus on the insights and decision-making derived from IoT data, rather than the technical challenges of data acquisition.
In addition, the IoT DaaS model offers a flexible and scalable way to access and analyze IoT data. As the amount of data generated by IoT increases, organizations can easily increase their data usage through the DaaS model, without the need for costly infrastructure or expertise. This can lead to faster and more efficient decision-making, as well as the development of new business models and services.
The IoT DaaS model can also help organizations access and use external data sources, such as social media, weather, or financial data, to complement their internal IoT data sources. This can provide additional insights and help organizations make more informed decisions.
Overall, the evolution of IoT towards a data-as-a-service model can help eliminate the complexity of IoT data acquisition that currently hinders the progress of organisations. By using DaaS, organisations can access and use IoT data in a flexible, scalable and cost-effective manner, stimulating innovation and business growth.
