The IoT (Internet of Things) is an excellent technology that businesses can 
leverage for multiple benefits. For the same reason, the IoT market is 
projected to grow phenomenally in the next coming years. Those 
organizations that have an opportunity to adopt IoT are expected to thrive 
in their respective sectors.
However, adopting IoT technologies are not easy for businesses, as there 
are several challenges involved in the process. There are certain best 
practices, if adhered to will make the IoT adoption successful.  In this 
article let’s discuss some of these best practices. 
• Firstly, it is extremely crucial that the business defines the goals and 
objectives for their IoT adoption. Typically, the objectives and goals are 
defined after performing careful research and planning.  Organizations 
would benefit immensely if initially set realistic and short-term goals. As 
they gain experience and expertise, bigger and wider objectives can be 
set. 
• The organization needs to create a practical and easy to implement 
roadmap with practical steps for their IoT adoption. The current situation 
and other factors are analyzed to define priorities and sequence of 
activities that will lead to successful adoption. This will significantly reduce 
the risks involved as well as making progress become simpler. 
• The IoT devices can transmit and receive data in real time. This will 
’allow businesses to monitor and analyze data and take prompt or 
proactive decisions. The data gets transmitted using special interface 
protocols. Selection of the right data exchange protocol is vital for the 
successful deployment of IoT solution. 
• It is a best practice to conduct an end-to-end analysis of operational and 
process steps involved. It is only then that the company gets a clear idea 
of pivotal aspects of their inefficiencies, areas of improvement and 
optimization. Adoption of continuous integration, continuous 
development along with automated DevOps and agile techniques will 
ensure that the eventual outcome matches and exceeds your targets. 
• Make sure that the IoT system meets the expectations of users.  Later 
the users must not face any hindrances in comprehending the technology 
and operating it. 
• An IoT system establishes connections between several devices and 
gadgets with frequent exchange of data. The facet of cyber security thus 
attains more relevance, while adopting the Internet of Things (IoT) 
technologies. 
• Your business is better off integrating the security protocols during the 
development stage of the project. This cannot be postponed with the 
hope that it will be taken care of at a later point in time.
• For the successful deployment of IoT solutions in an organization, senior 
management commitment and sponsorship is a must. Management 
should ensure quality in the end-to-end planning, implementation, and 
deployment of the proposed solution phases. 
• Companies must design their IoT adoption strategies with sufficient 
details so that the expected results such as increase in revenues, 
reduction of operational expenses, and improved customer experiences 
are achieved.
