Out Of The Box Or Built From Scratch? Selecting Your IoT Project Strategy
The purpose of any internet of things (IoT) solution is to bring drastic changes to your business. For many companies, this change is high on their list of priorities. According to McKinsey, IoT technologies are currently used by 25% of companies, as opposed to just 13% in 2014. I imagine this percentage will continue to grow — but what kind of platforms are these companies choosing?

They are ready for use immediately, and, in many cases, they cover a lot of application scenarios. But are they effective? Wouldn’t it be better to code your own solution from scratch and have it made specifically for your needs? Isn’t it more reasonable to have customized software?
