FEATURE : INTERNET OF THINGS service is interrupted . Likewise , the customer service area needs to know how to respond to potential new customer inquiries .
Solution 10 , reliability 0
Once up and running , IoT solutions can cause considerable financial losses if they fail . Therefore , they must also be reliable . That is why the model is seen cautiously in the market despite advantages such as simplified configuration and constant software updates .
It is always cheaper to maintain than to rebuild a reputation . Sometimes it pays to invest in IT infrastructure to ensure system quality and reliability .
Background security
The best , if security is not a priority in the project , is to start over from scratch to ensure the reliability of the service and the adoption of protective measures that limit the possible damage in case of a hacker invasion .
The list of best cybersecurity practices is well known , but it is an issue that requires constant attention , as there are always new emerging technologies and scams on the market .
Limited scale view
What matters in IoT projects is the data captured by the system and what companies do with it . Therefore , it is critical to have the ability to predict the evolution of the collected volumes and prepare the system properly to receive , store and process them over months or years .

SUCCESSFUL IOT PROJECTS CAN TRANSFORM THE
STRUCTURE AND BUSINESS MODEL OF A COMPANY .
One of the most common problems in IoT projects is the little attention paid to this issue .
Simple cost analysis
IoT project budgets have several peculiarities that should not be neglected . Hardware is one of the elements with the most potential for variation and saving money on each device is not always worth it .
What facilitates the entire process is investing in in-depth research of the available equipment options , planning efforts at each stage and good interaction design , capable of identifying unnecessary characteristics for better usability of the systems .
Unrealistic deadlines
There are common cases in which , due to lack of experience , companies estimate too long or too short deadlines for implementing IoT projects . In the second case , the estimate is usually based on the best possible scenario to facilitate approval .
In the meantime , the ideal for a more realistic estimate is to talk to executives from companies that have implemented similar projects or specialists who can help with the project . p
