Are Employee Business Workstations IoT-Ready?

IoT for SME, SMB, micro & SOHO business

While a small business consultant or over-the-counter (OTC) software can help optimize connectivity or performance of legacy devices in a company network, there’s no assurance that the network and its attached resources will be ready when business needs expand.

Owners of small-to-medium enterprise (SME), small-to-medium business (SMB), micro-sized business or “mom-n-pop” small office/home office (SOHO) business can reap the benefits of transitioning to digital processes or the Internet of Things (IoT).

SME/SMB requirements

SME/SMB owner’s needs are special. With end-point network resources such as laptop and desktop workstations contributing to the high-cost of business operation, value-for-money and other perks are needed more than ever. Return on investment (ROI) is essential for enterprise IT budget allocation. Specific features include:

Micro & SOHO

Freelancers and businesses run by sole proprietors qualify as a “micro” or small-office/home office players. While some businesses may be tech-savvy enough to address IT-related needs on a small scale, warranty-backed technical support for workstations is crucial to ensure uninterrupted work operations.
