Types of projects

Internet of Things

Internet of Things (IoT) broadly refers to internet-connected sensors (such as temperature sensors or electricity monitoring equipment) and actuators (like relays) which provide useful data in near-realtime and enables the automation of previously manual processes (or things that were not done at all). Often, businesses include IoT as part of their wider digitalisation strategies as they view it as a way to reduce operational costs (e.g. energy bills) and free up time for other work. Designing an IoT project requires choosing hardware and designing networks which often involves trade-offs between a range of factors informed by performance requirements. Increasingly, automatic monitoring of assets using IoT is a compliance requirement.

Sustainability

Under SECR, large businesses are mandated to report their Scope 1 & Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions utilising a methodology such as the GHG Reporting Protocol in tonnes of CO2e. Additionally, businesses are increasingly shifting their strategies from purely profit making objectives to wider Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) objectives as public opinion shifts and the effects of anthropogenic climate change are realised. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often desire to demonstrate their "green" credentials to their customers. There are a range of tools and strategies which businesses can take to achieve sustainability outcomes and/or develop new products to help other businesses achieve theirs while creating new revenue streams.

Software

"Software" is still seen as something "the IT Team" do. This viewpoint is a travesty that disempowers teams and creates organisational bottlenecks. In truth, anyone who has written an Excel formula has written software (or "coded"). Today, there are web platforms and mobile apps to do almost everything, but the state of the market is the wild west with Saas (software-as-a-service) providers offering little transparency and being purposefully vague on capabilities with basic features "on the roadmap". The availability of open, collaborative coding tools, the growth of no-code and low-code platforms, the availability of open data sources and mature interfaces (APIs) between different platforms means it may be possible to reduce dependencies on third party platform providers, ongoing operational expenses (subscription fees) and learn some new skills in-house in the process.
