About Favoriot — Part IV: Finding the Right Market Fit

Behind the Scenes of Favoriot IoT Platform — Part IV

When we developed the Favoriot IoT Platform, it wasn’t meant for everyone but just for our use. My team and I sought ways to overcome our problems managing IoT data at that time. The existing platforms did not fully meet our needs, so we developed our own.

However, when I saw foreign IoT platforms like ThingSpeak and Blynk being widely used in higher education institutions in Malaysia, I thought, “Why don’t we offer the same thing?”

Our platform could also benefit students and researchers in Malaysia. We just needed to find a way to introduce Favoriot more effectively.

Whenever I was invited to give an IoT lecture at a university, I would introduce Favoriot and give students free access. I hoped these students would use our platform in their projects and expand its use.

However, reality did not match my expectations.

My main problem was that ThingSpeak and Blynk were still the preferred choices. I wondered, “Why is that?” After some investigation, I found that one of the main reasons was the lack of video tutorials and learning content on our platform.

ThingSpeak and Blynk had a lot of content that made it easy for students and researchers to understand and use their platforms.

“I need to do something,” I thought. I started encouraging students or anyone using Favoriot to share their tutorial videos on YouTube. However, I realized that not many were willing to spend the time to create educational content.

Understandably, Malaysians are reluctant to create scholarly content. So, we developed several YouTube tutorials and used social media like TikTok to introduce Favoriot.

Initially, only students used Favoriot. I often wondered, “Will this effort succeed? Can we compete with the bigger platforms?” However, I kept trying and did not give up. Gradually, the results started to show.

Students and many external organizations use Favoriot for various applications in agriculture, industry, smart cities, security, etc.

I feel very grateful. “Alhamdulillah… this effort will not stop here.” We continue to introduce several unique ways to use Favoriot that differ from what ThingSpeak or Blynk offers. We continually strive to improve our platform and ensure it meets users’ needs better.

This story is not over yet.

I have much more to share about our journey in developing the Favoriot IoT Platform.

Stay tuned for Part V, where I will discuss our challenges and successes.

About Favoriot — Part III: The Growing Pains

The Story Behind Favoriot IoT Platform — Part III

In 2019, we began offering our self-developed IoT services. However, no one wanted to use it. I still remember how hard it was to get our first customers. We offered it for free to the first ten customers, but that wasn’t easy.

“Why doesn’t anyone want to use our platform?” I asked myself almost every night. “Is there something wrong with our product, or is there something we missed?”

It turned out the problem wasn’t with our product. The real issue was that most people didn’t know how to use an IoT platform. They lacked knowledge about IoT. It was a hard truth to accept, but I knew we had to do something.

As an Industry Advisory Panel member at several universities, I started suggesting changes in their curriculum. “We need to teach students how to use IoT technology more systematically,” I said in meetings with lecturers and deans. I hoped these changes would help increase students’ understanding of IoT.

Slowly, I saw changes happening. Many universities have started offering more systematic IoT courses. However, I faced a significant challenge when I saw many students choosing Blynk and ThingSpeak as their primary choices for their final-year projects.

“Why aren’t they using Favoriot?” I wondered again. “What does our platform lack?”

I knew I couldn’t give up. I had to keep working hard to introduce the Favoriot IoT Platform to the public. I began organizing many seminars and workshops to introduce this platform. I would stand in front of the participants each time and passionately explain the advantages of using Favoriot.

“This platform is not just for students but also for professionals and large companies,” I always said. “It can be used for larger R&D projects and other commercial projects.”

The Favoriot IoT Platform started to become well-known slowly. Users began to see the potential and benefits offered by our platform.

Finally, in 2024, we managed to get 80% of Favoriot platform users from Malaysia. Out of 8,800 users, the majority were from our own country.

I felt proud of this achievement. “We did it,” I told my team. “We have proven that we can compete with other platforms.”

The Favoriot IoT Platform is now used to collect data for larger R&D projects and other commercial projects. Our journey is still long, but this success gives me confidence that we are on the right track.

About Favoriot — Part II: Building the Products

The Story Behind Favoriot IoT Platform — Part II

See the previous post for Part I.

The Favoriot IoT Platform was not our first commercial IoT product. Before this IoT Platform, we had developed two other IoT products, namely Raqib and Favorsense, but both failed in the market.

I still remember the first time we introduced Raqib. “This product will bring a revolution,” I told my team. However, reality was not as beautiful as imagined. We faced various unexpected challenges, from technical issues to marketing.

Favorsense, although it had a good concept, still couldn’t attract user interest. I sat in the office, pondering our failures. “What went wrong? Where was the mistake?” I asked myself. Two products, two failures. It wasn’t a good statistic.

However, behind Raqib’s failure, there was one component that survived — the Favoriot IoT Platform. We realized that this platform had great potential. “This platform can be used by anyone who wants to develop their own IoT products,” I told my team. With renewed enthusiasm, we decided to shift our focus. We started offering the Favoriot IoT Platform for free.

But, even though the platform was free, many didn’t know how to use it. “Why aren’t they using it?” I asked. “We’ve published many videos and info, but still, many don’t know how to use it.” It was really disappointing.

We didn’t give up. I knew there was a way to solve this problem. “We need to give them more guidance,” I told the team. So, we started offering IoT courses using the Favoriot IoT Platform. These courses were designed to help users understand and apply the platform in their projects.

This step turned out to be successful. Now, more than 16 universities and polytechnics in Malaysia have been using the Favoriot IoT Platform for their students’ final-year projects. “This is a major achievement,” I said proudly. These students learn about IoT and gain practical experience using a real platform.

I often visit these universities to give lectures and see how students are using our platform. “This is great, how do you use Favoriot for this project?” I asked a student. Seeing their joy and enthusiasm gives me immense satisfaction. I know we are on the right track.

Now, we are working on introducing the Favoriot IoT Platform in foreign universities. “The global market is the next step,” I told the team. We are discussing with several universities abroad and hope to see students worldwide using our platform soon.

However, this journey is not without challenges. I often ask myself, “How can we continuously improve and enhance this platform?” In the ever-evolving technology industry, we need always to stay ahead.

Every night, before sleeping, I reflect on our journey. “We have learned a lot from our failures,” I tell myself. From those failures, the Favoriot IoT Platform was born and is now Malaysia’s main pulse in IoT education.

This success is not just mine but the entire Favoriot team’s. “Thank you, everyone,” I always tell them. Without their commitment and hard work, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

I know our journey is still long. “This is just the beginning,” I often tell the team. With an undying spirit, we will continue to move forward, facing new challenges and achieving greater success.

We have proven that with effort and dedication, failure is not the end but the beginning of something greater. The Favoriot IoT Platform is solid proof that from failure, success can be born.

About Favoriot – Part I: The Beginning

ABOUT FAVORIOT SERIES

The Story Behind Favoriot IoT Platform – Part I

I still remember when we started developing the Favoriot IoT Platform back in 2017. At that time, we were in a small room with only a handful of dedicated staff.

The original idea came from the need to create a platform that could support our first IoT product, called Raqib.

“Can we really compete with giants like AWS and Azure?” I often asked myself.

We knew the challenge wasn’t small. Many outsiders didn’t know us and doubted the capabilities of this newly developed platform. However, we remained determined. We were confident in our technology’s potential and capabilities.

In 2019, we decided to offer the Favoriot IoT Platform to the public for free. “Perhaps this is the best way to attract attention and build an early user base,” I thought. However, the response we received was very disappointing. Only a handful showed interest.

“We need to do something more than this,” I discussed with the team. “We must find a way to introduce this platform to more people.”

At that time, the idea of offering IoT courses emerged. We realized that one of the best ways to attract users was by teaching them about IoT’s importance and utility while introducing our platform. These courses not only allowed participants to learn about IoT but also to try out the Favoriot IoT Platform themselves.

“Will they be interested? What if no one registers?” Many questions played out in my mind.

Alhamdulillah, this step bore fruit. Through the IoT courses, we introduced the Favoriot IoT Platform to more users. The response we received was very encouraging. We saw a significant increase in the number of users of our platform. Today, the Favoriot IoT Platform has over 8800 users from 120 countries.

“I can’t believe we’ve come this far,” I shared my joy with the team. “This is just the beginning. We still have a lot to achieve.”

Now, we aspire to expand to neighboring countries. I am confident that the Favoriot IoT Platform can achieve even greater success with effort and dedication.

“Ready for the next phase?” I asked the team. Their answer was clear – we are ready to conquer the IoT world.

This is a glimpse of the story behind the development of the Favoriot IoT Platform. Each step was taken with great care and a high fighting spirit. We believe that with hard work and determination, nothing is impossible.

Stay tuned for our journey in Part II, where I will share more challenges and successes we’ve experienced along the way.

The Dubai Trip That Nearly Turned Into a Saga

DUBAI TRIP

Unforgettable experience

The day that we arrived on April 17, 2024

My recent trip to Dubai, from April 17 to 19, 2024, was an adventure I’ll never forget. It was supposed to be a straightforward business trip for a conference and MOU signing, but it quickly turned into a saga defined by an unusual wardrobe malfunction.

As I stood at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, the attendant at the check-in counter informed me of our flight’s delay due to severe weather and flooding in Dubai.

Little did I know, this was just the beginning of an unexpected journey that would test my adaptability and sense of humor.

Upon arriving in Dubai, my first hint that this trip would be out of the ordinary came when our baggage failed to appear on the carousel. “We’ll just head to the hotel and pick it up tomorrow,” I reassured my fellow delegates from Cybersecurity Malaysia, Malaysia Airports Holdings, and a journalist from Bernama.

We were optimistic, not yet realizing the full extent of the chaos caused by the flood’s aftermath at Dubai International Airport.

The true challenge began the next morning.

making an attempt the next day to pick our bags.

When we returned to the airport, the scene at the Lost and Found was chaotic, to say the least. Despite assurances that our luggage would be available shortly, the minutes turned into hours with no resolution in sight.

The delay meant I had no choice but to attend the conference in the same clothes I had worn since leaving Malaysia — a bright red shirt that made me stand out starkly against a backdrop of white robes and formal business attire.

Signing an MOU but wearing the same shirt.

Standing there in my red shirt, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of embarrassment and amusement. “Of all the days to be a walking fashion emergency,” I mused to myself, trying to inject some humor into the situation.

As I walked into the conference room, feeling every eye on me, I found myself grappling with a whirlwind of emotions — self-consciousness, frustration, but also a reluctant acceptance of my predicament.

As I prepared to speak, I took a moment to gather my thoughts. “Here goes nothing,” I whispered under my breath, stepping up to the podium. The room was filled with dignitaries and professionals, all impeccably dressed.

I couldn’t help but feel like a sore thumb, glaringly out of place.

Remember the colour.

However, their warmth eased my anxiety, and I found myself relaxing into the talk, my initial discomfort slowly ebbing away.

What followed was a surprising twist; my bright red shirt, initially a source of embarrassment, became a talking point.

Post-event discussions weren’t just about cybersecurity and collaborations; they included light-hearted banter about the resilience needed not just in our professional tasks but in handling life’s unpredictable challenges.

“You’ve certainly made this event memorable,” chuckled a friend of mine, a comment that sparked a series of friendly exchanges that might not have occurred had I blended in seamlessly.

Returning to the airport that night, and after another long wait and a battle through a disorganized system, we finally managed to retrieve our bags.

The relief of being reunited with my luggage was profound, yet the ordeal had left an indelible mark on my experience.

It was a relief to be able to change our clothes before returning to Malaysia on April 19, 2024.

Reflecting on the events, I realized that this trip was more than just a business engagement; it was a testament to the human spirit’s adaptability.

The discomfort of wearing the same, uncharacteristically casual attire in a formal setting forced me to confront and overcome my insecurities about appearance and professionalism.

The ordeal taught me that while clothes might contribute to a first impression, it’s resilience and the ability to maintain composure under pressure that truly define one’s character.

This trip, with its unexpected trials, highlighted the importance of embracing the unexpected with grace and humor, making it a truly unforgettable experience.

Actually I regretted one thing — I should have bought a pair of clothes just before the event but then, it would not be any exciting story to tell, eh?
