Top Value Disciplines of Successful Growth Strategy for Software Product Companies

7:24 pm 8 July 2020
The industry is moving so fast that software product companies must keep pace. If not, they will be left behind. Growth strategies from a decade ago are fossilizing while technology expectations, pricing models, and mobile computing is making things even more confusing and volatile. 
 
In this article, we will discuss growth strategies that, if appropriately implemented, will not only help grow your company but will also help you stay a couple of steps ahead of the ever-changing industry.
 
The Value Discipline Model
The value disciplines presented in the 1993 Harvard Business Review report from Michael Treacy and Fred Wiersema entitled “Customer Intimacy and Other Value Disciplines” established the ‘rule-of-thumb’ for strategists over the years, presenting the three value disciplines that a successful company needs.
 
The report outlines that Operational Excellence, Customer Intimacy, and Product Leadership are the core values required for a successful company. It went on to bring out, at the time of the study in the early ’90s, that while it was necessary to be competent in all three disciplines, a successful company needed to excel in any one of them.
 
Since 1993, the birth of companies such as Amazon, Google, YouTube, Facebook and others have completely changed the landscape. Additionally, enhancements in technology including mobile computing have raised the bar for software product companies. Customers now demand more aesthetically pleasing applications, that are low cost and customized, and with the ability to do everything they want, integrated to one unified interface.
 
Additionally, they want the software to be compatible with all of their other apps and devices, and they require the best on-demand support to make for the best user experience possible.
 
Conclusion
 
For growth strategies to succeed, we must implement, adhere to, and excel at all three value disciplines.
 
Ensure Product Leadership by continually updating our core solutions to meet the demands of the client, providing them with SAAS, AI, and secure platform models.
 
Software must be produced with Operational Excellence through LEAN methods such as the Scrum Methodology, ensuring the product is of the highest quality. It must align with what the client wants, and it must be delivered within the timeframe promised by sales teams.
 
The roles within the software development process that understand the buyer persona ensuring the customer gets the product they want must work in tandem with the infrastructure that supports the client before, during, and after the purchasing process. Seeing this level of Customer Intimacy throughout the entire product cycle is the only way to gain ‘share of wallet’ when it is time for the customers to upgrade or go to the next level as their needs change.

The Choice Of Technology Framework And Mobile App Development

6:44 pm 17 June 2020
Here is a list of factors to take into account when embarking on a large scale mobile development project:
 
Functionality
The core functionality is essential to understand because it speaks to many different foundational issues in the development process. You must assess whether your product is intended to fulfill simple informational needs or something more complex and interactive. This will inform the next step, which is to establish what sort of platform should support your product.
 
Platform
The question of which type of platform to develop on, as well as whether multiple platforms are needed, is essential to this process. Much of this is based on the user profile that should be generated early in the user research process. Relevant user behavior to observe in this case includes how many devices they might employ when using your app, and what kinds of devices they are. Other issues to evaluate include maintenance and security.
 
Bandwidth
Information technology will play a key role in user experience and application performance, among many other important elements and features. Network access must be optimized so that nothing is wasted in the process of providing users the best experience possible. And in the event of disconnected service, offline functionality should be incorporated wherever it is useful and/or relevant.
 
Software
The programming phase must be planned such that whatever framework is used, the application can be effectively upgraded as seamlessly as possible further down the road. Deployment time should also be factored in, and you should remember that mobile-web based models tend to deploy the fastest.
 
User Research
Great user experience requires proper user-centric research. Fortunately, there is a lot of tools to choose from in order to conduct this research, but unfortunately, that also makes the process very competitive and at times quite complicated. User research should be planned early on, and the process should really continue throughout the product life cycle (don’t think of it as simply part of the early phase). Great experience design meets their needs and expectations, and should build relationships with users that last and establish brand loyalty. Aloha Technology considers the Factors include information architecture, clear and concise copy, useful and elegant design elements, and trust and security.
 
Cost
Once all of the above has been evaluated, you should then be able to project a reasonably accurate budget for the project. Generally speaking, mobile-web is typically the most affordable solution, while native applications are normally the most expensive to build and maintain. Aloha Technology analyzes costs and look at market trends in order to attempt an accurate prediction of investment returns.
 
Mobile application development is far from a simple process. But with the right amount of planning, it can be a huge step in helping your business connect with customers in very meaningful ways. Companies like Aloha Technology are there to help you along this path

Know 3 Core Values For Software Product Company To Nurture Growth

9:03 pm 8 June 2020
The top value disciplines that will not only help meet your software needs, but will also help you stay a couple of steps ahead of the ever-changing industry. In this Press Release, we will discuss growth strategies that, if appropriately implemented, will not only help your company grow but will also help you stay a couple of steps ahead of the ever-changing industry.
 
The Value Discipline Model
 
The report outlines that Operational Excellence, Customer Intimacy, and Product Leadership are the core values required for a successful company. It went on to bring out, at the time of the study in the early ’90s, that while it was necessary to be competent in all three disciplines, a successful company needed to excel in any one of them. Since 1993, the birth of companies such as Amazon, Google, YouTube, Facebook, and others has completely changed the landscape. Additionally, enhancements in technology including mobile computing have raised the bar for software product companies. Customers now demand more aesthetically pleasing applications, that are low cost and customized, and with the ability to do everything they want, integrated into one unified interface.
 
Implementing Value Discipline Models as a Whole
 
An excellent place to start is to go back to the basics. In reference to the Harvard Business Review report mentioned earlier, we can see the three primary values that drive success. We also know the customer's needs, wants, and desires. Moreover, we know that changing the growth strategy within our Aloha Technology organization will require a certain level of accountability from the software product company.
 
The research and development teams need to ensure that the technology is compelling and answering the need of the customer, establishing the most accurate buyer persona possible. The engineers must stick strictly to the buyer persona that has already been developed and at the same time ensuring ‘feature creep’ doesn’t run away from them. Sales teams need to ensure that they aren’t overpromising , and at the same time, not selling an anemic software offering that will pale in comparison with the competition. The Aloha technology fully implements the value discipline models for business as per requirement.
 
For growth strategies succeed, we must implement, adhere to, and excel at all three value disciplines.
 
1. Ensure Product Leadership by continually updating our core solutions to meet the demands of the client, providing them with SaaS, AI, and secure platform models.
 
2. Software must be produced with Operational Excellence through LEAN methods such as the Scrum Methodology, ensuring the product is of the highest quality. It must align with what the client wants, and it must be delivered within the time frame promised by sales teams.
 
3. The roles within the software development process that understand the buyer persona ensuring the customer gets the product they want must work in tandem with the infrastructure that supports the client before, during, and after the purchasing process. Seeing this level of Customer Intimacy throughout the entire product cycle is the only way to gain ‘share of wallet’ when it is time for the customers to upgrade or go to the next level as their needs change.

Machine Learning IS Evolving

9:11 pm 26 May 2020
Machine Learning is one of human civilization’s most recent forms of automation, which has been a part of industrial manufacturing and production since at least the Industrial Revolution of the 19th and 20th centuries and has existed as a concept since ancient Greek mythology. Automation dramatically increased productivity in manufacturing, particularly among automotive assembly lines during the 20th century, and Machine Learning seeks a similar effect on several industries.
 
Big Data
 
The commodification of data has motivated businesses of all types to collect, store and process it in many new ways. The phrase “Big Data” has become commonly used to describe the various industries that are united by their dependence on and proliferation of electronic data as a commodity. Big Data is defined by what is often referred to as the “3 Vs”: volume (the massive amounts of data processed), velocity (the accelerating pace of data transmission) and variety (the growing diversity in forms of data). 
 
The ability to capture, store, transmit and process massive and diverse sets of data is highly valuable to businesses in the modern ecosystem of an increasingly digitized economy. And the more companies can harness and control Big Data, the easier it will be to leverage Machine Learning in exponentially productive ways.
 
Deep Learning and AI
 
With the advancement of Machine Learning algorithms, neural networks can now be organized into several layers that form complex hierarchies. These hierarchies translate into information that allows for decision making and understanding on a much more profound level than more primitive Machine Learning models. Thus far, implementations of deep learning have included self-driving vehicles, black and white image colorization, and precision medicine.
 
While Machine Learning products are already widely used, the greater field of Artificial Intelligence is only beginning to expand into mainstream use. General AI might exist at some point on the horizon, but for now, businesses are most concerned with Machine Learning’s ability to help them understand the world and make better decisions.
 
Conclusion
 
The field of business intelligence has adopted Machine Learning over time first for its descriptive power (to explain things that happen) and then for its predictive power. The next stage of Machine Learning for business will come in the form of prescriptive analytics, which will inform companies what, in fact, they should actually do in order to achieve the most desirable outcomes.
 
Aloha Technology is at the forefront of this innovation. The evolution of Machine Learning is empowering companies worldwide with the ability not only to understand and even predict information and phenomena but also with the best possible courses of action. To neglect Machine Learning as an essential component to modern business intelligence is to forfeit future success to the competition.

Aloha Technology - Your Guide to Cutting Edge Back-end Tech Solution

7:11 pm 22 May 2020

The back-end refers to various components and how they collaborate with each other in order to help the front-end function seamlessly. Choosing the most suitable application and database servers for your business need is a complex decision and require expert guidance.

 

Choosing the right backend technology

Choosing the most suitable application and database servers for your business need is a complex decision, and will be covered separately. Businesses can talk to Aloha Technology to get a clear idea of how back-end solutions can streamline businesses better. This section, however, will focus on choosing the most suitable programming languages.

 

This decision is driven by a few major factors:

 

Business need or domain: For most commercial web-applications, .NET is the preferred programming environment, while for apps that require heavy data processing, Python is preferred. For large-scale B2B applications, where security is a priority, Java is preferred.

 
Ecosystem: The local markets must have the desired number and quality of programmers in the languages that you prefer. Else, it can be a costly proposition, in which case, the choice of language must change. With leading ISV services providers like Aloha Technology, this skills -related issue curtailed as its employees are skilled in all programming languages.

 

Cloud or on-premise hosting: While legacy languages that have clear structures and formats for coding are safer, and preferred for on-premise applications, apps built using them take longer to develop or modify. In contrast, cloud-hosting services such as AWS provide a robust development environment that helps programmers exploit the speed and flexibility of new-age programming languages.

 

Characteristics of the language: Each language has its own strengths and drawbacks technically speaking. Then there is the availability of support, documentation, communities and ecosystems – all of which are important while making a decision.

The choice of back-end technologies is a complex decision that is best left to experts. At Aloha Technology, we have a mature process to handle this and we can help you make the right choices thus allowing you to invest in the right solution.

Aloha Technology Helps Migration From Legacy Systems To Modern Systems With Ease

9:37 pm 23 April 2020
Digitization has increased the need for evolving the business models as legacy systems can be stumbling blocks in an organization’s drive toward modernity. A legacy systems modernization solutions make all systems up-to-date with modern technology. Aloha technology has helped many organizations achieve this legacy digital transformation effectively over the last decade.
 
Modernization is the inevitable long-term solutions. The enterprise can choose to either - migrate the legacy systems to modern applications and host them on a modern platform, or, build a new set of systems from the scratch and abandon the older ones. Either option comes with its own challenges. Aloha Technology is quite confident to handle these challenges
 
Cost: The single-largest reason to delay or defer the legacy modernization exercise in most organizations is the cost, or perceptions around the same.
 
Time and Disruption: Given the duration of the exercise, there could be disruption to the service. This requires informing users/customers about the same and preparing for disaster recovery.
 
Loss of Data: If the migration exercise is not properly executed, large chunks of data can be lost from one or more systems, applications and modules. And if all these data had no backups, this can cause serious disruption, or conflicts within the organization.
 
Co-existence and Integration challenges : Even as the exercise is happening, some of the older systems must co-exist with the migrated ones. However, integration between them must be smooth. Integration with later-day systems must also be full-fledged.
 
Training/re-training staff: IT departments as well as internal users must be familiarized with the new systems through extensive training programs, which again imply time, cost and disruption.
 
Ensuring user experience: Merely ensuring all the functionality is available in the new system is not enough! User experience is equally desirable.
 
Stakeholder’s commitment: Given the above challenges, stakeholders of the migration exercise may try to abort it midway, so sustaining their commitment is a challenge too.
 
At Aloha Technology, we have a new and effective approach to legacy migration that makes it hassle-free and ensures better returns on IT investments.

Aloha Technology The Product Feature Balance That Best Meets The Needs Of Users

9:11 pm 15 April 2020
Aloha Technology live in an age of user-centeredness, which means that user experience is key to the success of virtually any software product. Whether the user is a client, customer, employee or associate, their input is essential to the development of meaningful and useful software features.
 
User experience has become the most critical factor for businesses to survive in the market. Depriving or saturating your product with features can affect users loyalty towards the brand. Aloha Technology the relevance between for minimum viable features and needs of the the end users through the UI, UX Design Services.
 
The best way to strike a balance between too many features and not enough is to audit your development pipeline, and especially, to close gaps in communication where they affect workflow the most. Consider the following methods:
 
Component-Based Development (CBD)
 
This is a software engineering method that divides systems into their independent components. This approach makes releases easier to maintain and roll out. And with stable interfaces between components, deployment cycles are simplified as releases aren’t necessarily synchronized.
 
Agile
 
This approach to the software development cycle is team-based and emphasizes customer and developer interaction in order to solve problems effectively. It is largely a response to the more traditional “waterfall” method, which is much more linear and not as dynamic when it comes to releasing and improving the software.
 
DevOps
 
Whereas Agile development bridges the gap between customer and developer, DevOps does so between the developer and IT operations. The purpose of this is to minimize manual processes and to automate building, testing and releasing as much as possible in order to meet customer/client needs in a swift manner.

How iPhone Application Development Can Benefit Your Business

8:56 pm 20 March 2020

For a business, an app is ideally able to enhance brand value, and it does so with more impact than a website can ever produce. Be it a business or an entrepreneur seeking to boost the allure of their products and services, there are a few ways to do this. 

 

The best way is to find a reputable iPhone application development company to develop a custom-built iPhone application to further promote and drive the business. Aloha Technology Developing an iPhone application can provide certain benefits for the organization.

 

Customer Satisfaction

 

A happy customer is a loyal customer. An app can offer your end-user a great deal of customer satisfaction which will help to grow the customer base and meet the growing market demands. UI and UX play a crucial role not only in determining the success or failure of the app but in steering and directing the interaction that takes place between the business and the consumer. 

 

An iPhone app is a way to stay connected with users even outside of business hours and an app that can offer them services anytime, anywhere, can result in great customer experience which leads to greater profits for the business. Ultimately, companies are looking to connect with their users and an app can help them do this because one of the central features of an iPhone app is its accessibility and user-friendliness.

 

Right Here Right Now

 

We live in an ‘instant’ ecosystem where everything happens at the click of a button. Not only have customers become more demanding, but they also want their demands met immediately. For any business not to take advantage of iPhone app development and build an application that exploits this trending trait, it would be the loss of an opportunity to capitalize on business potential and maximize revenue. 

 

In this changing mobile environment, which has come to directly impact business, an app could help a business take advantage of the commercial aspect of things while developing a relationship with the consumer.

 

Design Perspective

 

In today’s fast-paced world, the first impression is the last impression. Eye-catching app design is attractive to the user and can easily grab their attention. iOS tends to use a more greyscale palette and tends to keep its design very uniform which makes the app uncomplicated in design, easily accessible and user-friendly. Considering that the app has to compete against thousands of others in the App Store, it has to stand out and this is where design plays a make or break role in its success in the market. The objective of creating a visually appealing app is to construct an enjoyable and memorable user experience. It is finally the user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) that play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the app in the market from the way it interacts with its users.

 

For businesses looking to improve on establishing their brand name and reputation and generate more traffic and revenue towards their products and services, it is imperative, during the development process, to pay special attention to the design of the app.

Top 5 Mobile App Development Future Trends For 2020

5:02 pm 14 February 2020

In this blog, we’ll talk about mobile development, 2020, and what the new year promises.

 

AR and VR
There are many apps in eCommerce, real estate, the automotive industry, healthcare, and education that are already integrating this technology for better user experience. In 2020, it seems clear that AR utilization will be a focal point for the mobile app development industry. Emerging trends in mobile apps featuring AR and VR dominate the conversation in many different online publications these days.

ARkit is a great framework that allows developers to write augmented reality apps for iOS. With iOS 12, developers can use ARKit 2.0 for face tracking and 3D object detection. If you have already implemented ARKit in your app, then you are probably familiar with its benefits.

 

Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) 
AMP is a project from Google in collaboration with Twitter. It is a stripped-down version of HTML intended to accelerate the speed of mobile pages. It enables developers to create heavy websites and web pages with fast loading speeds. It also means lower bounce rates and better performance across all mobile devices.

 

Beacon Technology In Mobile App Development
The latest trends in mobile app technology indicate that beacon growth should be something to watch in the new year. Beacon technology is the first mobile application development trend that has been completely embraced by museums, hotels, the healthcare industry, and more. It is useful in location technology and proximity marketing. What’s probably best about it is that the average user will quickly get used to its functionality.

 

Artificial Intelligence for Smarter Apps
Tech news for mobile development is all about the rise of artificial intelligence, or AI. It can be seen as somewhat of a mixed bag. While AI has many applications, it also means that some jobs currently done by humans are in danger of becoming obsolete. PwC predicts that by the early 2030s, 38% of US jobs will be at high risk of being automated and run by AI-powered robots and similar devices.   AI integration with mobile apps, though, is not something that shows any signs of slowing down. Its use is a way to make the apps smarter, but it also saves a lot of time, effort, and money for the mobile app development company. As time passes, finance and accounting, customer service, the healthcare sector, and many other businesses are going to integrate AI into their native apps.

 

Android Instant Apps
Google launched Instant apps project in 2016 to make things more convenient for both developers and users. These are native apps that function like websites and can attract people with their superior functionality. Most of the latest trends in Android app development seem to have something to do with Instant apps.   Instant apps are like a trial for many applications that users can get access to without downloading them. Some electronic device users want to try out an app but are reluctant to download it, so this option is ideal for them.

There are some distinct benefits of using Instant apps over regular ones. They’re smaller in size while still possessing the functionalities of a website. They provide excellent UX, and because you’re not downloading it, you’re not using up any of your device’s memory.

Aloha Technology Opportunities in PAAS-Based Software Products Reviews

5:19 pm 13 February 2020

Aloha Technology Reviews: Digital disruption is transforming businesses, and how! While earlier, software was developed for users in an enterprise or SME, the emergence of SMACIA has triggered software development for apps, tablets and all kinds of devices.

 

PAAS providers like Aloha Technology have changed the game for stand-alone ISVs by offering a fairly comprehensive feature set and reducing the overheads on communication and data transfer while developing newer products.

 

"While software companies are building rapidly growing in PAAS landscape, we are really excited to be providing new opportunities of IOT, augmented and virtual reality for consumers," said Anuradha S.M., Head of Communication at Aloha Technology. "As our developed products continue to grow, it is important for us to provide both the scale and reach of global clientale , simultaneously offering opportunities for end-users to test and learn from innovative new formats of technology. We believe these new partners meet the diverse demands of our clients."

 

The digital wave has created several challenges for the Independent software vendors (ISVs). Native apps provided by Cloud platforms are slowly invading their territory and eroding their margins. ISVs must come up with a different strategy to acquire or retain users in such a scenario. While this applies to any category of ISV, be it productivity software or instrumentation related software, we shall stay focused on B2B networking infrastructure ISVs.

 

Cloud providers have evolved over time to offer more and more features to enterprise users, evolving into a platform with time. Such Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) providers like Aloha Technology  have changed the game for stand-alone ISVs by invading their territory. For example, in the area of B2B networking, previously, ISVs provided a host of features around DDoS attack prevention, resource level Role Based Access Control, load balancing, network intrusion detection/intrusion prevention system (IDS/IPS), geographic availability zones, etc. While some ISVs specialized in one of these areas, some offered more than one of these capabilities.

A Breakdown Of Mobile App Development And The Choice Of Technology Framework

4:45 pm 5 February 2020

Aloha Technology's Digital Transformation solutions bring innovative technologies to assist enterprises of any size or industry.

 

There are many different choices that you have to make when you are developing a mobile software application. Companies like Aloha Technology can help developers with this often complicated process. This article will cover many of those choices and how to go about making them.

 

Covering All Bases

 

Mobile application development can be complicated, since you want to put software together that not only works properly, but also offers the best user experience possible and stands the test of time. Here is a list of factors to take into account when embarking on a large scale mobile development project:

 

  • User Research
  • Functionality
  • Platform
  • Bandwidth
  • Software
  • Cost

 

When each of these elements is given proper attention, the mobile development process should go smoothly and result in a superior product.

 

User Research

 

Great user experience requires proper user-centric research. Fortunately, there are a lot of tools to choose from in order to conduct this research, but unfortunately, that also makes the process very competitive and at times quite complicated. User research should be planned early on, and the process should really continue throughout the product life cycle (don’t think of it as simply part of the early phase).

 

Great experience design meets their needs and expectations, and should build relationships with users that last and establish brand loyalty. Factors to consider include information architecture, clear and concise copy, useful and elegant design elements, and trust and security.

 

As the product proceeds to grow and evolve, conduct user tests (such as split tests) in order to measure results and establish which designs and methods best serve the users.

 

Functionality

 

Core functionality is essential to understand because it speaks to many different foundational issues in the development process. You must assess whether your product is intended to fulfill simple informational needs or something more complex and interactive (such as ecommerce or multimedia experience, like gaming for example). This will inform the next step, which is to establish what sort of platform should support your product (such as web-based, native, etc.).

 

Platform

 

The question of which type of platform to develop on, as well as whether multiple platforms are needed, is essential to this process. Much of this is based on the user profile that should be generated early in the user research process. Relevant user behavior to observe in this case includes how many devices they might employ when using your app, and what kinds of devices they are. Other issues to evaluate include maintenance and security.

 

Bandwidth

 

Information technology will play a key role in user experience and application performance, among many other important elements and features. Network access must be optimized so that nothing is wasted in the process of providing users the best experience possible. And in the event of disconnected service, offline functionality should be incorporated wherever it is useful and/or relevant.

 

Software

 

The programming phase must be planned such that whatever framework is used, the application can be effectively upgraded as seamlessly as possible further down the road. Deployment time should also be factored in, and you should remember that mobile-web based models tend to deploy the fastest.

 

Cost

 

Once all of the above has been evaluated, you should then be able to project a reasonably accurate budget for the project. Generally speaking, mobile-web is typically the most affordable solution, while native applications are normally the most expensive to build and maintain. Analyze costs and look at market trends in order to attempt an accurate prediction of investment returns.

 

Conclusion

 

Mobile application development is far from a simple process. But with the right amount of planning, it can be a huge step in helping your business connect with customers in very meaningful ways. Companies like Aloha Technology are there to help you along this path.

Internet Of Things: Challenges For The Modern Enterprise

6:13 pm 26 December 2019

The Internet of Things is said to trigger the third major technological revolution in history after the Industrial Revolution of the 1800s and the Internet Revolution of the 1990s. The ability to harness data from any and every kind of device in the system, and exploit the data to achieve a larger outcome, is changing the way we live our lives or run our businesses.

 

Although various kinds of sensors are being used from a few decades, the combination of data gathering and analytic softwares, which IoT services represents, is relatively newer. It offers unlimited possibilities for extracting real-time information, and build superior systems or manage business better. And Aloha Technology is at the forefront of IoT innovation and business process adaptation.

 

Common challenges faced by ISVs

 

  • From a data architecture point of view: With more and more organizations implementing BYOD or ‘bring your own devices’, the data architecture for an IoT system must factor various devices, instruments and a host of softwares, along with their native operating systems. This gives the system the flexibility to gather or capture data from any source, anywhere in the enterprise.
  • From an infrastructure point of view: The above point implies that data-gathering devices must be liberally embedded all over the offices and physical infrastructure of the organization. Aloha Technology offers IoT integrations in the form of RFID tags, Bluetooth beacons, and a host of sensors to measure temperature, humidity, pressure, movement, etc.
  • Server-side programming languages:

 

  1. Fleet Management: From cargo-ships to an assortment of vehicles used on the road, every vehicle can relay its position to a cloud-based system using sensors
  2. Preventive maintenance:  Vehicles and hardware equipment such as instruments or devices can be monitored for the possibility of breakdown or the need for repair
  3. Retail business While RFID tags can monitor customers’ movements; facial recognition software can analyze their expressions. This is then used to drive discounts or offers
  4. Farm Productivity: By monitoring climatic data, farmers can be advised on when, and how much to irrigate their fields

 

Implementing an IoT System: Requirements and Challenges

 

  • Infrastructural preparedness: Public and private infrastructure remains the biggest hurdle for most business organizations around the world. An IoT system generates a lot of data which must be relayed to the cloud or to other systems through the internet. This calls for robust, high-speed internet connections and a mature communications infrastructure. Metros in India and most countries are adopting 5G which offers high data speeds required to maximize RoI from an IoT system.
  • System and Data Security: An IoT-based system generates and interacts with a lot of data, some of which are sensitive, such as facial recognition information, bank and financial transactions, movement or availability of humans in a particular environment, etc. Such data can reach the hands of hackers and criminals who may use it for harmful intent. We at Aloha Technology believe that it is then imperative that security is thoroughly planned and executed before commissioning an IoT-based system.Component Visibility: The above point automatically implies that administrators of an IoT-based system have clarity on which are the devices plugged into or not plugged into the system at any point of time, to weed out unauthorized devices or users.
  • Lack of standards and best practices: Despite its widespread use, IoT is still in its infancy, so standards and best practices are yet to evolve. By partnering with Aloha Technology, organizations can overcome challenges with calculated experimentation while making innovations easier to integrate and use.

 

Looking ahead

 

The earliest adopters of IoT have been Healthcare, Energy, Utilities, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Hospitality and Agriculture. Other industries will follow suit with the IoT market getting crowded. There are more than 400 IoT platforms and by 2020, funding for IoT-related ventures is expected to reach USD 290 billion. This will create a vibrant ecosystem for business organizations, end-users, solution providers and third-party vendors who will add value in various ways, thereby enriching the IoT ecosystem. Talk to Aloha Technology and see how you can integrate IoT into your business strategy.
