IoTONE

With many startups focusing on Internet of Things and related service, it has become difficult to keep track of organization in that space. To address this Erik Walenza-Slabe, has come up with a great initiative called IoTONE.

IoTONE assists customers in knowing various vendors around the world, on which technology they are working, what are the latest trends in IoT. IoTONE acts like a catalyst that helps customers in deciding which vendors to choose. Thus IoTONE is creating a platform for vendors to present themselves to customers globally.

What is Iot ONE?

IoT ONE is the most trusted source for information about the Industrial Internet of Things (Industry 4.0). The platform provides users with transparent information about IoT vendors and technologies to help decision makers confidently identify the right solution. IoT ONE also curates offline conferences, delegations and reports to educate senior leadership and policy makers on the technology landscape.

Which problem is IoT ONE trying to solve?

Adoption of IoT solutions is slowed by a lack of accessible information regarding vendors, technologies, and protocols, as well as by the high cost of using the wrong vendor or technology. IoT ONE is addressing the knowledge gap among both senior executives and procurement managers that prevents companies from investing in IoT solutions.

Who does IoT ONE help?

IoT ONE supports three groups of decision makers:

Executives who control CAPEX budgeting and investment decisions
CAPEX procurement managers who identify alternative solutions and
execute purchase orders
Functional managers who support solution implementation and/or use
the solution on a daily basis

Our Experience

When a company is registered as a vendor on IoTONE, the team does a through analysis about the organisation and they create a vendor page for the same. In the vendor page, the cover all the aspects of work of the organization, they create a radar diagram that helps customers understand about their vendor quickly. Team IoTONE tries to cover each and every work regarding the vendor, and makes sure that they publish sufficient to help the vendor gain some attention. Also Team IoTONE or Mr. Eric, personally organises a Skype call with the vendor to understand the vendor in depth and remake their page.
