Once you have come up with a feasible idea, what are the next steps?

Once we finalize that it's a reasonable thing to pursue with the clients, we prioritize what makes the most sense, and then go into BluePrint. Think about designing a house – like a pool, or having two floors - that's what we do with the IoT solution. In a house design, it's not just a construction person, you might have a pool vendor or plumber brought in. At BlueMetal we have designers or engineers on staff. And if we don't, if there's a sensor that does temperature, we'll bring that hardware partner into the mix and be the company that pulls the whole solution together with all these different moving parts.

Then we'll help them build the design by writing software, and pulling together and implementing the different vendor components.
