A few months ago, Soitron faced a difficult situation with a need for smart decision at the end – continue with our own proprietary monitoring solutions or switch to monitoring as a service. The first option represented a significantly more expensive and complex approach because of the need for certified specialists as well as additional costs in a form of license fees. After several discussions, we have chosen the second alternative having many advantages we can benefit from.
