Best Practices for Working with Proficloud.io
Are you starting an IIoT project and want to set it up for long-term success? Clear roles, the right organizational structure, and a well-planned onboarding process can help you build efficient and future-ready workflows without requiring deep IT expertise. Read more for practical insights.
IIoT projects rarely fail because of technology—they usually fail due to unclear processes, poor documentation or undefined roles and rights. To ensure your project succeeds, take a look at proven best practices from the field.
Choose the right model early
One organization with n customers
Many companies start their IIoT journey in close cooperation with a system integrator. In this model, the integrator sets up a central organization on Proficloud.io. Customers receive access rights as editors or viewers as needed but do not have full control over device or user management. The integrator remains responsible for all administration.
One organization with one customer
As companies grow, so do their requirements for digital solutions. When new locations, additional devices, or an internal IT department come into play, centralized models often reach their limits. That’s why more and more companies are choosing to manage their own organization on Proficloud.io—taking control of their IIoT project from day one.
Open discussions at the start will save time and resources later on. Clarify:
- Who will handle which day-to-day responsibilities?
- Will the company grow, and how flexible should the organization be?
- Are there specific data privacy requirements?
Clearly Define Roles and Permissions:
Avoid misunderstandings by making sure everyone knows their responsibilities from the beginning. Proficloud.io allows for transparent, documented role assignments.
Plan the Handover Thoroughly:
A well-structured onboarding, with clear documentation and initial training, makes it much easier—especially for teams without deep IT expertise.
Maintain Data Privacy & Documentation:
Every permission and device should be carefully documented. This makes it easier to adapt, especially if there are personnel changes or new locations.
Stay Flexible:
Set up your processes and systems so that future expansions are possible—without too much effort.
Deep Dive: Project Kick-Off Checklist
- Is the right organizational model chosen?
- Are all roles and rights documented?
- Is there a dedicated contact for support questions?
- Has the handover been recorded both in writing and digitally?
- Has the team been trained?
Update this checklist regularly—especially after staff changes.
Conclusion
Digitalizing building technology offers new opportunities for efficiency and collaboration. With a clear structure, defined responsibilities, and a platform like Proficloud.io, mid-sized companies can benefit sustainably—and stay flexible for the future.
