As the Internet of Things continues to grow exponentially with no sign of slowing down, numerous companies are looking to adopt this technology to remain competitive. A critical decision that companies need to make before starting an IoT project is around the competencies and roles of those involved in the project, and deciding if they will hire a company or expert to integrate their system is fundamental. In this blog post, our team will investigate the role of System Integrators and why it might be wise for organizations to consider their services instead of attempting to integrate an entire application alone.

What is an IoT system integrator?

A professional IoT system integrator is a specialist who can expertly intertwine various technology components, from sensors and applications to networks, hardware, and software, in order to construct an efficient infrastructure. They are adept at combining these elements into one comprehensive IoT solution.

By utilizing the expertise of System Integrators, organizations can avoid costly mistakes and ensure that their applications are running smoothly and securely. Furthermore, system integrators bring more than just technical know-how to the table: they also possess a deep understanding of business processes and industry requirements, allowing them to tailor solutions to an organization’s specific needs.

Why it’s important to hire an IoT system integrator

The versatility of system integration has allowed IoT to take off in a way that would be extremely difficult without it. Employing a system integrator can help save time, cost, and effort, which would otherwise be used in implementing IoT yourself—especially considering that the company team may not have all the knowledge needed to deploy an IoT application. 

System integrators deploy solutions quickly and efficiently, having expertise in selecting the proper hardware and software for specific applications and knowledge in designing and integrating various components.

Most IoT applications involve components from different manufacturers, in those cases, system integrators will play a key function, as they need to be appropriately configured to work together efficiently. 

Another advantage would be their experience coordinating organizational tasks and ensuring maximum uptime in all systems involved, making system integration faster, smarter, and future-proof. With the benefits that a professional system integrator brings to the table, companies can reap faster ROI while keeping their investments down in a cost-effective manner, rather than building their software from scratch, hiring the services of a system integrator is almost always the better option.
