a significant investment up front to build the proper IoT sandbox and the enterprise
framework, but you will reap the dividends quickly as your lines of business are able to
explore IoT solutions within the safety of the sandbox. Once a viable solution has been
identified, the team will have the proper processes to get it approved for a wide-scale
production deployment.
Victory Through a CBO
We encourage our clients to create a Cloud Business Office (CBO) to serve as the central
point of decision-making and communication for your initiatives. It is critical to approach
IoT solutions with a holistic view by engaging the business and technology groups to
create an IoT enablement and deployment framework. This specific IoT framework can
live within the CBO, or be its own entity, but it is important to lay the proper foundation
and guardrails for your organization to safely and effectively explore IoT solutions. With-
out a CBO, having various IoT environments and states of compliance and testing can
bring IoT adoption to a crawl while you try to unify your various efforts and mitigate
internal fallout. In today’s fast-paced technology environment the Latin proverb still
holds true: Amat victoria curam (victory loves diligence).
