Transitioning from a Product to a Service Economy: the Power of IoT Technology in Innovation. Especially in the context of the Internet of Things, the search for business sustainability is pushing companies to become more efficient thought a strategic rethinking of business processes while the market is shifting from products to services. To truly transform the business model, organizations need to connect and collect actionable data from their assets and processes, and invest heavily in IT tools and resources. To make this happen, Eurotech has designed and implemented a M2M solution that dramatically simplifies the transformation of a business into a smart business - allowing the creation of new innovative services and processes that drive competitiveness also in mature markets.
Leveraging new technologies and embracing proven Enterprise IT best practice allow an effective encapsulation of the complexity of creating and maintaining distributed device infrastructures. This and a clear focus on a seamless IT/OT integration ensures fastest time-to-market and best TCO when basing new services and revenue streams on data coming from distributed devices and sensors in the field.

Now, returning back to IoT, the problem is
how to address Software Complexity
Wirth’s law:
“Software gets slower faster
than hardware gets faster”

we are in a moment in time when the software
complexity can be tamed
