Best practices
In this section, we will cover some of the best practices for each stage of the IoT solution life cycle, starting with the designing and planning stage.
The designing and planning stage
As described earlier, this is the most critical phase in the enterprise IoT solution life cycle, as it sets the foundation for success in the follow-up phases of provisioning, deployment, and management. There are a few best practices to consider at this stage to help ensure the success of your IoT solution. Here are three common factors that contribute to the failure of many enterprise IoT solutions:
