Daizy published a full interview with Richard Norris, Daizy CTO, on why IoT looked solved until it wasn't.

As many organisations embark on digital strategies, the value of their data assets in helping drive organisational transformation is rapidly increasing. Consequently, IoT initiatives must seamlessly dovetail into an organisation’s digital strategy from day one. However, for many organisations who have explored IoT, the challenges can outweigh the benefits: • Cost: ROIs are sensitive and easily disrupted by additional time on integration and installation; not device or connectivity costs. • Complexity: The chaos of the current IoT landscape requires expertise to navigate; no evidently frictionless options are available through existing business systems. • Lock-in: Vertical solutions as an option come with longer term issues – data access, pre-defined ecosystems and inflexibility. Daizy provides an intuitive management system for IoT projects and delivers data directly to any existing or future business systems. Daizy enables rapid scaling by reducing time to market, while at the same time minimizing cost, improving flexibility and maintaining security. Scalable and robust, the Daizy IoT platform is: • Open and Agnostic: Facilitates supply chain interoperability, providing greater choice for customers, and an ability for them to scale in the confidence that future IoT scenarios are already catered for. • End to End: Provides the full lifecycle management needed to support this supply chain, from project design, device selection, installation, management and end of life, including the provision and management of connectivity. • Easy to use: Keeps the costs down and allows our clients to use existing staff for the delivery and maintenance of IoT projects. Compatible with hundreds of devices, connecting over NB-IoT, LTE-M, LoRa WAN and Sigfox networks, Daizy enables the deployment of devices and connectivity most appropriate for the complex variables involved in IoT deployments, without the constraints commonly associated with a single verticalized solution.
