M2M Consulting

business challenge

Business machine-to-machine (M2M) offers original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and other organizations the opportunity to explore new revenue streams. Yet the market is moving rapidly, and the ecosystem remains complex.
Few companies have the experience of building a robust M2M business plan and bringing an M2M service to market.

our solution

We have developed three consulting offers, which are designed to help you make the right decisions in M2M and get to market more quickly. They include:

device and modules consulting: testing and selectionof M2M devices and modules

solution architecture: design of the network solution underlying the M2M application

application consulting: design and integration with back office

our approach

Our consultants can guide you through the complex M2M ecosystem. We can help you select the right communications device to operate in all your target environments. This includes device validation services to test your device in the end-to-end system and a report on performance and supportability. We also have methodologies to help you understand the financial costs of deploying a traditional fixed line and/or mobile M2M infrastructure.

And finally, we have a team of 160 consultants dedicated to developing applications for the manufacturing, transport, logistics, automotive, utilities and healthcare sectors.
