IoT development roadmap
First, we dive into your industry specifics and business objectives to elicit the requirements for future IoT software. We then draw up a suitable IoT solution architecture and an elaborate IoT implementation strategy based on your unique needs.
Next, we carefully plan the whole IoT development journey. We choose the optimal tech stack and a suitable IoT platform, outline development team composition and schedule realistic timelines for each development stage to avoid project scope creep.
Our IoT experts create a prototype or an MVP of the IoT solution to gather early feedback, which can be used to validate the product’s concept, design, and functionality at early project stages.
We create the source code for the IoT solution according to the system requirements and chosen architecture. Here, we focus on developing an IoT platform, data storage, processing, analytics mechanisms, and user interface.
At this stage, we integrate the developed IoT solution with the company’s existing infrastructure and third-party systems and test the solution for compliance with functional, performance, and security requirements.
After validating the solution, we deploy the system in the selected environment and ensure it works as intended.
Key considerations for IoT application development
Here’s a list of aspects to emphasize during the IoT development project to ensure its successful adoption.
IoT ecosystems with multiple end-point devices significantly expand the organization’s attack surface, leaving many unprotected points of access for attackers. Therefore, IoT adopters should make the security aspect their top priority from the very start by adopting a security-by-design approach. They can also hire security experts to ensure the safety of each layer of the future IoT solution.
Interoperability is a critical factor influencing smooth IoT system functioning. Thus, during IoT solution development, we suggest focusing on correct protocol utilization and translation at the physical (Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular, LPWAN, or Ethernet connection), networking (IPv4, IPv6, Modbus, Profibus or open protocol OPC-UA), and application (MQTT, AMQP, CoAP, Restful HTML, DDS protocols) layers.
A scalable IoT system should handle the growing number of IoT devices and increasing amounts of data while ensuring real-time data processing. We recommend building IoT systems with scalability in mind, employing cloud, edge, and fog computing, applying microservices architecture and data compression techniques, and utilizing scalable databases and data processing frameworks.
The value of an IoT product lies in its ability to process and analyze collected data and deliver data-driven insights. To ensure that IoT systems can handle large data volumes at high speeds, we advise companies, apart from switching to cloud computing, to adopt edge computing capabilities and integrate machine learning and artificial intelligence data processing tools.
It’s common for companies developing an IoT solution to discover at some point that they’ve seriously underestimated the project’s timelines. The reasons leading to severe time creep can be business-related or technical, and to address them, Webnoria recommends planning for contingencies in case of a project hold-up and partnering with vendors with experience in business cases similar to yours.
Businesses often neglect the adoption of suitable change management policies addressing IoT implementation, leaving their workforce frustrated about the recently adopted technology. We suggest involving employees across all company departments in IoT adoption early on to get all business lines on the same page and help them embrace modernized work processes.

FAQ
Implementing a simple IoT solution can take up to a few weeks, whereas developing a complex IoT ecosystem can require 6 months or more. The timeframes primarily depend on software complexity, as well as the necessity to acquire regulatory approvals or certifications.
The costs of developing IoT software range from $10,000 for a simple solution to $200,000+ for complex enterprise-level software. The IoT software development costs depend on a wide range of factors, like complexity and customizations, platform fees, team expertise, number of integrations, and more. In case you need to estimate your IoT software development project costs, Itransition experts are ready to help you accurately define your project’s budget and timeline.
Look for a partner with extensive IoT development experience in your industry or business specifics.
