Application Services
To be effective, M2M applications often need to be industry-, market- or customer-specific. Even within single organizations, M2M solutions typically are required to deliver multiple 'flavors' of an application to meet the varying needs of different classes of users.
Meeting these multi-faceted requirements while keeping development costs under control is a real challenge for many organizations.
The Application Service component of the SensorLogic Platform lets teams overcome the challenges that stem from complex M2M development requirements. This layer of the Platform gives developers a range of application services that essentially are building blocks for custom M2M application development. By using these services, developers can deliver on their project timelines, and maintain high quality while controlling development costs.
The 'Keys' to the Platform
The Application Services component provides the Web Services interfaces that application developers use to access and work with the SensorLogic Platform.
All features in the Platform are comprised Web Services, each of which is exposed in a comprehensive set of application programmer interfaces (APIs). This includes authentication services, device groups, user roles, and all the APIs used to configure the system, manage devices, establish rules and notifications, and read/write data to remote devices.
Specific elements in this layer include:
- Open, standard application support
- Web Services APIs
- Users, roles and device group management
- Secure service authentication
- Data warehouse and reports
- Integration with enterprise systems
By using these Application Services, developers can deliver on their requirements, accelerate their project timelines, and maintain high quality while controlling development costs.
