Too busy? Reactive instead of Proactive? Will this ever get better?

Are you responsible for an IoT project that involves deploying and operating device fleets? Do you feel that you are too busy? Do you feel that you are acting reactively instead of proactively? Do you believe this will be better in a month from now?

We are talking to countless CTOs, product managers and lead engineers within various companies and industries and the answers to the above questions are usually yes – yes – yes and no.

So the big question is: Can you do something about this? And the simple answer is… 

 

Yes you can! Just stop running, take a short break, catch your breath and AUTOMATE. How about you step out of this hamster wheel and install an engine instead? Something reliable, powerful and well proven. What if we can tell you that there is an engine that you can bolt directly on to the wheel? You only have to stop running for a second, go to the garage and fetch it. Well, somewhere in your CV you probably have an engineering degree, so we assume you will power it up and test it thoroughly. But if you decide that you or someone in your team will do this, it does not take a lot of time. Then you know it will work for you and you simply bolt the engine on.  

So what is the benefit? Well, now your wheel runs smoothly and autonomously around the clock, without the need for constant oversight. This newfound freedom enables you to take a moment, open that black bag, and explore the myriad of ideas and business plans you’ve previously drafted but never had the opportunity to realize.

Introducing the Value Proposition of Device Automation

Leveraging device automation for managing fleets of Linux devices globally can significantly free up resources, enabling your team to shift from a reactive to a proactive stance. This strategic approach aids in enhancing security, streamlining software updates, achieving operational excellence, and more. At qbee.io, we recognize the importance of meeting your organization’s specific KPIs and are committed to helping you achieve those objectives.

  1. Reduce Operational Costs: Minimize expenses related to device management and maintenance through automation and efficient remote monitoring.
  2. Increase Update Success Rate: Achieve higher success rates in OTA updates, directly impacting device reliability and customer satisfaction.
  3. Enhance Security Profile: Establish improvements in device and data security, preventing breach incidents and compliance violations.
  4. Accelerate Deployment Cycles: Shorten the time from development to deployment, enhancing market responsiveness and innovation speed.
  5. Improve Scalability Metrics: Scale operations smoothly, evidenced by the ability to manage an increasing number of devices without proportional increases in costs or downtime.

What Benefits do you get from Device Automation?

  1. Comprehensive Device Management: Seamlessly manage, monitor, and secure a vast array of IoT and connected devices across diverse environments, ensuring operational efficiency and reliability.

  2. Over-The-Air (OTA) Updates: Deploy secure and efficient OTA software updates and firmware patches to devices globally, minimizing downtime and ensuring the latest features and security measures are always in place.

  3. Enhanced Security and Compliance: Implement robust security protocols and compliance measures, safeguarding devices against vulnerabilities and threats, and ensuring data integrity and regulatory compliance.

  4. DevOps Integration: Leverage tight integration with DevOps tools and practices, enabling streamlined workflows from development through deployment, enhancing productivity, and speeding up time-to-market.

  5. Scalability and Flexibility: Easily scale your device fleet management capabilities as your business grows, with flexible solutions that support a wide range of device, CPU type and operating systems, ensuring future-proof operations.

How to get there?

This is simple. In our daily operations we see two different approaches.

  • Sometimes an engineer sees the benefit of qbee.io and simply evaluates it as a side project. This is quickly done, it takes less than 5 minutes to get going
  • More often a CTO or product manager puts this as a ticket into the next sprint. Of course this is an investment of time and scarce resources, but the qbee customer success team will help you do this as quickly as possible. Moreover, we are confident that this effort will yield a significant return on investment for you over time, in terms of resources liberated for other purposes. Embarking on a trial or proof of concept (POC) with qbee.io offers a thorough basis for determining whether our solutions can enhance your organization’s efficiency and achieve the previously outlined KPIs. We invite you to initiate a Jira ticket today and connect with us for further discussions!
