In the IoT/M2M market partnering will be a key factor of success because providing services alone will be simply impossible.

Just a short glimpse at the kinds of players in the IoT ecosystem lets you imagine how big the number of relations and

settlements between those entities is. In some cases, it could be a very simple selling process, while in others, it can be

an extremely complex revenue chain, depending on the provided services and the relations between the involved parties.

Examples of processes and relations in this ecosystem include direct sales to end users / customers, billing on-behalf, reselling

or branding.

IoT has changed the way of thinking about billing processes, adding a significant number of new business models and cases.

In the past few different kinds of relations had to be handled by billing tools, today the service and player diversity makes them

go into hundreds.

Finally, it’s not only about relations but especially the big volume of data, not to mention hundreds of different policies and

pricing plans, rules and catalogs. In the IoT world new services, prices, relations have to be introduced smoothly and rapidly.

And the whole end-to-end value chain can be really long and complex.
