In our previous start-ups we successfully grew large connected-products businesses (AlertMe:Connected Home platform, Amino: IPTV platform, Actix: Mobile Phone managementplatform). But most of our companies’ time and money (~80%) was spent managing IoTINFRASTRUCTURE – devices, gateways, networks – rather than on delivering the actualheadline value-proposition itself. This experience is typical, and inhibits the growth of theInternet of Things (IoT) market.Connected applications can be for Home, Factory, Farming, Healthcare, Smart city, Energymanagement or any other vertical. Solution vendors need to focus their precious time, money,unique skills & domain knowledge on developing their proposition’s sensors and softwarealgorithms which capture data and turn it into value – not on managing infrastructure.1248 has therefore determined a real gap in the IoT Market: Device Management (DM), aservice to automate the life-cycle of IoT infrastructure. DM manages edge devices (e.g.connected streetlights, pig feeders or home thermostats) & the gateways connecting them tothe Internet. DM includes secure device “onboarding”, version management, uptimemonitoring, triage and diagnosis.In particular we are focussed on Universal DM, i.e. one service able to manage multipleheterogeneous IoT edge standards. Fully-automated DM could bring a step-change solution toa problem faced by all IoT services as they scale.It’s a huge market: Globally there are already more connected devices than people, withnumbers growing at a CAGR of 25% [Cisco]. The ratio of connected-devices to humans isincreasing by 10x each decade. At the turn of this century, people had one connected deviceeach (a PC). Today they have 10 or more connected devices each. IoT continues that journeyto 100+ devices each in the 2020’s. These cannot be managed manually, because we humansare increasingly time-poor.

在我们之前的创业公司中，我们成功地发展了大型互联产品业务(AlertMe：互联家庭平台，Amino：IPTV平台，Actix：手机管理平台)。但我们公司的大部分时间和金钱(约80%)都花在了管理IoTINFRASTRUCTURE上--设备、网关、网络--而不是交付实际的整体价值主张本身。这种体验是典型的，并且抑制了物联网(IoT)市场的增长。联网应用可用于家庭、工厂、农业、医疗保健、智能城市、能源管理或任何其他垂直领域。解决方案供应商需要将他们宝贵的时间、金钱、独特技能和领域知识集中在开发他们主张的传感器和软件上，以捕获数据并将其转化为价值-而不是管理基础设施。1248因此确定了物联网市场的一个真正缺口：设备管理(DM)，这是一种自动化物联网基础设施生命周期的服务。DM管理边缘设备(例如，连接的路灯、猪饲养器或家用恒温器)&将它们连接到互联网的网关。DM包括安全设备入网、版本管理、最新监控、分类和诊断。我们特别关注通用DM，即一个能够管理多个异构物联网边缘标准的服务。全自动DM可能会为所有物联网服务在扩展时面临的问题带来一种变革性的解决方案。这是一个巨大的市场：全球联网设备数量已经超过了人，而且数量以25%的复合年增长率增长[思科]。联网设备与人类的比例正在以每十年10倍的速度增长。在本世纪之交，人们每人拥有一台联网设备(一台个人电脑)。如今，他们每个人都有10台或更多的联网设备。物联网将继续这一征程，到2020年的S，每台设备将达到100多台。这些设备无法手动管理，因为我们人类的时间越来越紧迫。
