Rollout GTM

Depending on the make/buy/co-creation decision, development of different sub-systems and components will either be done in-house of externally. In the "acquire & integrate" model, the main focus will be on coordinating and integrating the suppliers of the different sub-systems. Only when applying the "in-house development" strategy, will development management be of full concern.

Regardless of who will eventually be responsible for the development and implementation, it is a critical success factor for any AIoT product or solution. This is why Part IV: Technical Execution is looking at this in full detail. From the point of view of the Part III: Business Execution, it is important to understand when the development perspective is important (i.e. in case of the in-house development), and how to interface with it from a business point of view. The discussion on Requirement & Design provides a good overview on this.

Finally, it is important to undertand that while the technical execution perspective is introducing DevOps as the key paradigm to manage continuous product improvement, including the technical systems operations perspective, this is only a part of what is required from a business operations point of view. This is why the next section is taking an explicit look at the holistic business operations perspective.
