Capability 03

Connected Systems, IoT & Cloud

Connect devices, equipment, data services, dashboards, alerts, and controlled remote operations through a defined and maintainable architecture.

Discuss this capability All capabilities

Useful when

Situations this scope can address

  • Sensors or equipment need to send operational data to a local or cloud platform.
  • A home, hotel, office, or facility needs connected monitoring or automation.
  • Industrial equipment needs telemetry, status visibility, alerts, or controlled remote interaction.
  • Separate devices and software systems need reliable data exchange.
  • The solution must continue safely through weak connectivity, device faults, or offline periods.

Possible outputs

Milestone deliverables that may be included

  • Connectivity and data-flow architecture
  • Device identity, provisioning, and interface definitions
  • Firmware, gateway, API, or protocol integration when scoped
  • Data ingestion, storage, dashboards, reports, and alerting
  • Remote-operation limits, offline behaviour, and failure handling
  • Deployment, monitoring, documentation, and operational handover

Project boundary

Responsibilities, dependencies, and exclusions are agreed first.

Device ownership, networks, protocols, connectivity availability, data classification, cloud accounts, storage, retention, user permissions, remote-control authority, offline behaviour, alerts, support, maintenance, installation, and third-party charges are assigned explicitly. Ongoing connectivity and cloud-service availability depend on the selected providers and client-managed infrastructure.

Next step

Define the next useful technical milestone.

Share the current state, users, interfaces, constraints, existing software or equipment, expected outcome, and what the next milestone must prove or deliver.
