In May 2021, Nokia launched ‘Data Marketplace’ a white-label data exchange platform allowing organisations to exchange data securely. The platform handles rights management, access control and settlement, amongst other things. This product exhibits many of the features and functionality advocated by Transforma Insights as part of its ‘Data Sharing’ technology area. It also folds in two of the current hottest technology fields: distributed ledger and AI. This report examines the capabilities of the platform, with a particular view of whether it is using the optimum architecture to best address the requirements of all clients in an open and many-to-many market that should be the long-term goal for any such system.

Vendors of IoT solutions should think less about what they sell and more about who they sell it to

- features
- support
- packaging

- IoT
This report examines the weaknesses created by the continuing prevalence of the supply-driven, rather than demand-led, approach to evolving IoT hardware and software products by technology vendors. It proposes a new approach based on a ‘role matrix’ which seeks to ensure that a product is focused on the role that will be deploying it rather than a nebulous idea of ‘the market’. The report focuses on IoT, but it is applicable across all technology areas to greater or lesser degrees.
