Phonism: Steps for Device Migrations & Onboarding
Phonism by Inlayer simplifies complex device management processes like migration and onboarding, delivering cost-effective and efficient solutions.
The Challenges in Device Management
With rapid advances in IoT and network technology, organizations increasingly rely on connected devices. However, many still manage device onboarding and maintenance manually:
- Only 5% of the market uses automation: The remaining 95% face higher costs and inefficiencies.
- Manual Onboarding: 83% of organizations spend over 30 minutes per device.
- Challenges Include:
- Manual intervention requiring unique skill sets.
- Multiple tools leading to human error.
- Difficulty meeting emerging security requirements.
- Limited device choices and platform compatibility.
