About The Customer
WebWay, established in 1999, is a company dedicated to providing service excellence in alarm signaling and remote monitoring security solutions for both enterprise and residential markets. They offer hosted cloud-based solutions that enable real-time site monitoring and statistics, eliminating the need for traditional telephone lines. By leveraging IoT-enabled devices, WebWay can poll alarm systems, monitor networks, send alarms, and perform remote maintenance and servicing of alarm panels. Their innovative approach has attracted global providers such as ADT, Chubb, G4S, Secom, and Securitas, who rely on WebWay's solutions for enhanced security and operational efficiency.
The Challenge
WebWay, a company specializing in alarm signaling and remote monitoring security solutions, faced the challenge of transforming their product into a service. Initially, their business model involved building devices and having customers manage the SIMs and solutions themselves. However, they realized that bundling a SIM with the device and including management and billing services would provide additional lifetime value to their customers and a recurring stream of service revenue. Additionally, the ability to quickly diagnose device and connection problems was critical for the security industry, as alerts could indicate various issues such as intrusions or communication problems. Before implementing IoT, WebWay had limited visibility into deeper network issues, making it difficult to troubleshoot and support their customers effectively.
The Solution
WebWay integrated the Cisco Jasper connectivity management platform into their internal ecosystem to transform their product into a service. By bundling a SIM with their devices and offering a full array of management and billing services, WebWay provided additional lifetime value to their customers and a recurring stream of service revenue. The Cisco Jasper platform enabled WebWay to have full control of their devices and visibility into usage, allowing them to offer these services effectively. The platform's real-time visibility and remote diagnostics capabilities allowed WebWay to quickly diagnose device and connection problems, providing evidence-based support to their customers. This enhanced their ability to troubleshoot network issues at a granular level and deliver a more stable service. The data provided by the platform also enabled WebWay to suggest improvements to optimize system performance and offer a more automated and transparent customer experience.

Smart City Public Safety
Amyx+ worked with a local government authority to develop an Internet of Things-enabled public safety strategy. In the current state, vigilance meant manually scanning through potentially hundreds of analog surveillance videos feeds.

Vodafone found that traffic for the applications peak during the four-month period when the international cricket season is at its height in Australia. During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
