The changing commercial dynamics in the provision of cellular IoT connectivity, particularly margin erosion, has resulted in an even greater impetus to find sustainable competitive differentiators on something other than the pure provision of connectivity. This is true for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), but it is even more true of MVNOs. In this report we examine which differentiators, including software platforms, scale, tariffs, coverage, cloud integration, vertical solutions and pre- and post-sales support, will prove to be the most effective.

Product Lifecycle Management 101: a primer on how PLM is extending through the full produce lifecycle to include as-a-service propositions
- Product lifecycle management
- PLM
- concept
- design
- digital twin
- xaaS
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is extending rapidly from the traditional bounds of Concept and Design stages for a product, and into downstream Realisation and Service stages. Particularly impactful will be the increasing adoption of x-as-a-service concepts, which will unlock economic value and transform maintenance functions and secondary markets for a wide range of assets.

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.

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.
