Very today announced that we have been selected as the winner of the “IoT Partner Enablement Company of the Year” award in the 5th annual IoT Breakthrough Awards program conducted by IoT Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global Internet-of-Things (IoT) market today. This marks the second year in a row that Very has won this award.
Ryan Prosser
CEO
“Our team members are committed to delivering robust, high-impact IoT products that meet our clients’ most pressing needs — a rarity in today’s market.”
Our multidisciplinary team of hardware engineers, software developers, designers, and data scientists have developed an agile approach to IoT development that accounts for the complexities and dependencies present in IoT projects and de-risks each initiative from the beginning.
We put the focus on the most important principles of agile development such as continuously delivering value to end-users, ensuring features are production-ready before moving to new features, testing early and often and making each development decision at the last responsible moment, and not before.
“Our team members are committed to delivering robust, high-impact IoT products that meet our clients’ most pressing needs – a rarity in today’s market,” said Ryan Prosser, CEO at Very. “And we’re doing it all 100% remotely, with team members distributed across the U.S. and Latin America working together seamlessly to deliver measurable results for our customers. We are proud to receive this 2021 IoT Breakthrough Award and I consider it a testament to the strength and ingenuity of the entire Very team.”
The mission of the IoT Breakthrough Awards program is to recognize the innovators, leaders and visionaries from around the globe in a range of IoT categories, including Industrial and Enterprise IoT, Smart City technology, Connected Home and Home Automation, Connected Car, and many more. This year’s program attracted more than 3,850 nominations from companies all over the world.
“From product design to hardware engineering and beyond, Very combines a compelling process-based IoT approach with a championship team of employees to help their clients break through the crowded IoT marketplace,” said James Johnson, managing director at IoT Breakthrough. “The results for their clients have been remarkable, with hundreds of products successfully launched, and we want congratulate everyone at Very for taking home our ‘IoT Partner Enablement Company of the Year’ award for 2021.”
Our 10-step approach to agile IoT development includes:
- Validate assumptions and define project constraints
- Build an IoT product development roadmap
- De-risk the hardware involved
- Create a device that will imitate the way the end product will work
- Build a full prototype
- Complete a micro-facturing run
- Launch the first manufacturing run
- Launch the “real” manufacturing run – producing about 1,000 devices to perform initial user testing, product training, and onboarding.
- Go to market
- Explore the power of digital twins – virtual models of the product that take real-world conditions into account. Digital twins can be used for testing, predicting and diagnosing failure, and experimentation for the next version of the product.
