Agile Platform to Monetize IoT Subscriptions

Challenge

Agility, Flexibility, Scalability for a Startup to Grow

Com4, with operations in multiple countries, is specializing purely in IoT. The other differentiator for the company is the ability to offer customer-specific services with high volumes. Flexibility is at the core of the business model. Com4 does not own the data network but operates as a virtual operator using multiple networks with a roaming model and thus can offer an optimized performance to the customer. The organization is very lean and the target from the beginning was a high degree of efficiency.

To reach the target Com4 needed a supporting platform with:

• scalability for a startup to scale-up
• tools to support variable and customer-specific pricing
• flexibility to offer customer-specific processes
• ability to integrate easily to get end-to-end automation
