Why Switch to IoT?

Business owners already have enough costs associated with running things.  From employees to offices, to taxes, software costs are just another expense business owners have to endure.  Before I give my two cents about switching to IoT software and services, remember why businesses buy and/or license software.  For a business to be successful, it has to obtain and utilize tools to meet customer expectations and satisfaction.  There are a number of tools to utilize but for many, software is one.  Software can help eliminate certain costs and create records for transactions and vital business information.  For years, software has been a growing industry with many resources obtaining more efficient ways to run things.  The internet of things, or IoT as many call it, has been one of the next steps in software and cloud infrastructure.  IoT connects physical objects to the internet.  Some early IoT concepts were coffee makers, with phone applications, doorbells with cameras and smartphone apps, just to name a couple.  It is no doubt that IoT is the next step in software and as a business owner, taking advantage of the new technology can benefit greatly.  There is a reason companies are putting millions of dollars into R&D for these technologies.  The Dasol Group's IoT infrastructure connects people to inanimate objects, creating a peace of mind for customers, and even managers.  Beyond checking up on workers, Dasol Group's IoT concepts save time.  With most software, even when workers record work performed, someone has to spend time and compile the data, generate a report, and send it.  

Check this article from Forbes about the growth of IoT.  IoT is still new, but waiting could cost you more in the long run.

What does it take to start a software company? Part 1: Cloud vs. On-Premise

     What's it actually take? You've spent how much? Who told you to use that framework and code? These are just a few of the questions I receive from time to time when people ask about software. For now, I'd like to stick with the most basic one. What does it actually take to create a SaaS (software as a service) company.      Many people have this thought that they either know computers or they don't. Fair point I guess, but that's not necessarily true. With any business there are tools that are needed. Good tools, good people, a plan, proper structure, etc.  To start your own software company it's actually not that complicated. At least not as complicated as I made it in the beginning.       Cloud or on premise? Having software in the cloud makes updates much easier. Updates are done remotely and pushed at once so all users can see them. A little time consuming to set up properly and manage over time, but hardware is managed ...
