1) Existing M2M applications have been developed mostly by hardware experts and have limited features, scalability, and integration with enterprise systems. 2) Most current M2M systems only provide basic data collection and exchange without integration to business applications or end-to-end automation. 3) Developing efficient end-to-end M2M solutions is challenging as it requires skills in diverse areas like embedded software, telecommunications, and web application development.
