Differentiating device management solutions in a complex IoT platform market
"Offering standalone device management solutions may not be enough – vendors may face strong competition from connectivity management and application platform providers that are extending their capabilities."
It can be difficult for device management platform (DMP) vendors to make their own solutions distinct within a crowded market. Vendors need to highlight their capabilities by combining other IoT strengths and addressing emerging challenges, such as security and systems integration within specific verticals.
This report provides:
- an overview of the device management layer for IoT and the capabilities it provides
- discussion of the current market landscape and the major platform providers
- a summary of the approaches to differentiation that platform vendors adopt
