Altizon

The implementation of Altizon’s Datonis IIoT platform is structured, phased, and tailored to the scale and complexity of the deployment.

• Initial Assessment and Planning: A discovery phase where business goals, current infrastructure, and integration requirements are analyzed. This usually involves workshops and stakeholder interviews.

• Solution Design and Architecture: Technical teams design the architecture, integration points, and deployment roadmap aligned with business objectives.

• Pilot or Proof of Concept: A smaller-scale implementation to test core features and validate expected outcomes before full-scale rollout.

• Full Deployment: Rolling out the platform across all targeted assets, machines, and facilities, ensuring smooth integration with ERP, MES, or other enterprise systems.

• Training and Knowledge Transfer: User training sessions, admin onboarding, and creation of documentation for internal teams.

• Ongoing Monitoring and Optimization: Continuous support, fine-tuning of analytics, and scaling up as business needs evolve.

Overview: On average, implementation can take anywhere from 8–12 weeks for mid-sized deployments to 4–6 months for large, complex, multi-site rollouts, depending on scope, integrations, and readiness of existing IT/OT systems.

Altizon’s platform is designed to be flexible, supporting industry-specific and organization-specific requirements.

• Configurable Dashboards and Analytics: Businesses can tailor KPIs, metrics, and reports to their operational needs.

Altizon’s approach to data ownership and portability is designed to give enterprises control and flexibility over their industrial and operational data.

• Customer Data Ownership: All data generated, collected, or processed through the platform remains the property of the customer, not the software provider.

• Data Access Rights: Customers retain full rights to access, manage, and retrieve their data at any point during the contract period.

• Portability Options: The platform provides export features and APIs that enable structured extraction of data for migration to other systems or for external analysis.

• No Vendor Lock-In: Data is stored in standard formats wherever possible, reducing dependency on proprietary formats and simplifying transferability.

• End-of-Contract Provisions: Upon contract termination, customers can request a complete data export, with policies ensuring secure transfer and deletion from the provider’s systems.

• Compliance Alignment: Data policies align with GDPR and other international standards, reinforcing transparency and customer rights.

The software is designed with scalability in mind, allowing organizations to adjust usage based on evolving business needs.

• Modular Licensing: Customers can add or remove modules (analytics, dashboards, machine connections) as requirements change.

• Flexible Subscription Plans: Pricing adjusts according to the number of connected assets, users, or sites, offering elasticity in costs.

• Pay-As-You-Grow Model: Organizations can begin with smaller deployments and expand incrementally without large upfront investments.

• Multi-Site Expansion: Additional facilities can be integrated seamlessly into the platform, ensuring global scalability.

• Reduction Options: If operational demands decrease, companies can scale back licenses or modules, optimizing costs.

• Performance Management: The platform automatically adjusts capacity (cloud resources, storage, processing power) as scaling occurs.

• Support for Hybrid Environments: Businesses can expand usage across cloud, on-premise, or hybrid setups without major reconfiguration.

Altizon structures its contracts with flexibility while maintaining clarity on renewal and cancellation policies.

• Contract Duration: Agreements are typically annual or multi-year, depending on the deployment scale and subscription plan.

• Automatic Renewal: Most contracts auto-renew unless notice of cancellation is given within a defined period (e.g., 30–60 days before expiration).

• Renewal Adjustments: Pricing and terms may be revised at renewal based on usage expansion, added modules, or updated subscription tiers.

• Cancellation Policy: Customers can terminate contracts at the end of the agreed period with proper written notice. Early cancellation may involve penalties or settlement of remaining fees.

• Data Retrieval on Exit: Upon cancellation, customers have the right to export their data securely before access is withdrawn.

• Transition Support: Optional assistance may be provided during offboarding to ensure smooth migration to other systems.

• Service-Level Agreement (SLA) Continuity: SLAs apply throughout the contract and cease upon termination unless extended for transition purposes.
