For Engineering Leaders: A Better Path to IIoT Application Creation Efficiency

Why Engineering Leaders Need to Understand the Flex Platform

At IoT83, we have had many engagements with Engineering Leaders whose teams are already producing valuable IIoT solutions but are looking for a better path to accelerate results, gain engineering efficiency, and to better control costs. Even where these engineering teams are already using third party IoT Platforms they are almost always surprised by the innovations built into the Flex Platform, and the new levels of execution efficiency these innovations provide. In short, they see that Flex significantly reduces the total work that their teams have to do, with no sacrifice in flexibility, while providing significant gains in quality, scalability, and security. This article provides a short overview of why, as an engineering leader, you owe it to yourself and your team to give the Flex Platform a very close look.

The Power of a Strong Foundation

In the complex landscape of Industrial IoT (IIoT), a robust platform is the cornerstone of successful application development. While many organizations may have existing IoT platforms, the power of a truly transformative platform lies in its ability to streamline development, accelerate time-to-market, and empower innovation – but also to easily integrate with existing systems across your business.

Building on Your Existing Investments

One of the key advantages of the Flex Platform is the extensive capabilities to securely connect to applications across your business, transform and contextualize data, and seamlessly integrate with your existing IT infrastructure and applications. This allows you to fully protect prior IIoT investments, fully leverage the power of the Flex Platform, and extend the value of your IIoT applications to existing business applications such as Service Management, ERP, CRM, and more. So, the Flex Platform complements your prior investments while accelerating engineering results and value creation.

The Flex Platform: Your Path to IIoT Excellence

The Flex Platform offers a comprehensive and flexible solution that empowers engineers to build sophisticated IIoT applications. By leveraging a powerful combination of pre-built components, a well-defined development framework, and a robust API layer, the Flex Platform gives your engineering team new power to:

• Focus on Innovation: Spend more time on core business logic and less time on infrastructure and platform concerns.

• Accelerate Development: Quickly build and deploy IIoT applications without sacrificing quality or flexibility all on top of a highly reliable platform that is proven at scale.

• Reduce Costs: Minimize development and maintenance costs – as well as technical debt - by leveraging pre-built components and a shared infrastructure.

• Enhance Scalability: Easily scale your IIoT solutions to meet growing demands.

• Improve Security: Benefit from built-in security features to protect your data and applications.

Beyond Low-Code/No-Code Limitations

While low-code/no-code platforms may offer a quick and easy way to build simple applications, they often fall short when it comes to complex, customized solutions. The Flex Platform provides a more flexible and powerful approach, allowing engineers to build sophisticated applications tailored to specific business needs.

Key Benefits of the Flex Platform:

• Robust Foundation: A proven, scalable, and reliable platform that serves as the foundation for application creation.

• Streamlined Development: Well-documented core platform services accessible via SDKs and APIs, enabling rapid "Pro-Code" development.

• Flexible and Customizable: The ability to create unique, differentiated applications tailored to your specific needs.

• Enhanced Security: Built-in security features to protect your data and applications.

• Seamless Integration: Integration with existing systems and data sources.

By choosing the Flex Platform, you can empower your engineering teams to deliver innovative IIoT solutions that drive business value.
