Businesses can manage their Internet of Things (IoT) devices more efficiently by integrating them into a cloud. Cloud integration can increase security and reliability, whether in a private, on-premises cloud or a public cloud like AWS or Microsoft Azure. IoT cloud integration will also future-proof systems and permit remote upgrades. However, transitioning devices to the cloud is challenging.

Many companies first built means of remotely controlling and communicating between their IoT devices and business platforms. However, these early IoT solutions became nightmares due to constant updates and regulatory requirements. Once companies tried to transition to the cloud, many forgot about IoT.
