Customer Challenges
Some of the key contemporary IOT challenges are:
- Expensive lab infrastructure – The high cost of lab facilities and equipment, growing technology complexity, quickly evolving standards.
- Communications ecosystem complexity - The need to ensure that new products are interoperable with the current global communications ecosystem, including existing products and services, as well as operational and business systems. This complexity multiplies when you take into account nuances which vary by geography and type of equipment itself.
- Access to domain experts – It is difficult to hire and retain domain experts who understand the complete communications ecosystem and are interested in pursuing testing as a career. Further, the large variance of testing resource requirements often leads to poorly optimized testing budget.
