DETERMINING FACTORS, DESIRABLE PERSONALITY TRAITS AND SKILLSETS

While the basic concept of IoT is simple to understand (every device connected to every other device) the practical application of that concept requires extensive planning and forethought. Devices can include smart sensors, phones, appliances, cameras, wearable technology, autonomous vehicles, etc. An IoT architect creates the systems that sort through all the data transmitted between devices and across networks.

IoT architects help organizations fix business problems by designing IoT solutions. To achieve the real and quantifiable benefits of IoT, implementation must be carefully and purposefully designed and deployed. This not only requires technical expertise but also meaningful experience. IoT architects are also responsible for creating and communicating the strategic IoT concept, message and system architecture.
