Any enterprise considering developing and deploying an IoT solution will, at some point, more than likely consider options to use an IoT AEP (Application Enablement Platform) to support the development. At Transforma Insights, we think that that’s a sensible thing to do, but also that there’s more to the story than simply picking an AEP that appears ‘top right’ in a matrix of (say) technical capabilities vs ability to deploy. In this report we draw on extensive analysis of IoT platforms undertaken for our IoT Platform Peer Benchmarking Report to make recommendations for enterprises on the considerations they should have in mind when selecting an AEP, including solution and industry match, capabilities and commercial terms.
