“As the IoT market continues to evolve, enterprises increasingly need help in getting to market with truly successful IoT offerings and achieving the greatest value from their IoT investments,” said Mike Merit, Vice President of Customer Success for Ayla Networks. “With our new service offerings, Ayla is leveraging the vast expertise and experience we’ve amassed working with leading manufacturers worldwide.

Ayla is offering a range of workshops, off-the-shelf and bespoke IoT services covering the entire connected product journey and aimed at enterprises in multiple markets and at all levels of IoT sophistication.
 
“Ayla’s services help enterprises with everything from figuring out the ‘why’ of their connected solutions, defining product features and determining an overall IoT data strategy to choosing ecosystem partners, conducting proof of concept (PoC) projects, and launching and testing products and services,” said Merit. “Enterprises can take an a-la-carte approach to Ayla’s service offerings, or they can allow Ayla to manage their entire connected project process, from infrastructure to complete IoT partner management.”
 
Ayla’s services work in conjunction with the tools and capabilities that are part of the comprehensive Ayla IoT platform. Examples of Ayla’s IoT service offerings include:

  • Data/ROI Workshop: In this multi-session workshop, Ayla works with enterprises to clearly articulate an IoT data and return on investment (ROI) strategy across functional teams and throughout the lifecycle of a connected product or service.
  • Testing Services. Ayla offers customized services for testing mobile apps, firmware and the end-to-end consumer experience, including thorough functional, usability and compatibility testing.
  • Lifecycle Management Services. After launching a connected product or service, enterprises can work with Ayla experts for ongoing management of their IoT solutions and their data throughout the entire lifecycle.
