What do you think will be/is a big obstacle to overcome?

The main obstacle the industry faces is mass adoption. While technology is a part of our everyday lives consumers are still getting comfortable with everything being connected. With so much information available online privacy becomes a concern. Social networks have widened consumers’ perspectives by demonstrating the benefits information sharing presents but there are still reservations that are inhibiting adoption rates.

How do you go about finding good developers/IT guys for your company?

We believe it is important to reach a wide audience however it is as important to attract candidates who see a fit with the mnubo culture.  Jobs are posted on various websites including our company website (www.mnubo.com), linkedIn and Joboom. Our employees are our biggest asset, to utilize their rich networks employee referrals are encouraged and rewarded. Once contacted, interactive interviews are done to ensure candidates are qualified both intellectually and socially for the job.

The IoT is a developing industry and the competition directly associated with mnubo is still small. Our primary competition still resides within our customer’s organization, i.e. the desire to build in-house vs use a SaaS model.
