It is encouraged that human capital should be open to external sources of knowledge in policy making because the source of knowledge could be suitable for new procedures that are essential for technology advancement. Through this effort, the knowledge of new practices will be included in university teaching, which in turn, preparing a pool of talented future workers. The third practice is training. Training is known as the key practice that could overcome the uncertainties of human capital. In uncertain working environment, trained employees will be able to adapt the frequent changes of working characteristics in IoT technology
In realizing smart city technology, it is important to have good device management system. Device management covers the hardware, software and processes that ensure devices are properly registered, managed, secured and upgraded, and that the staff and systems are notified if a device fails. Required functions include device configuration, security, command dispatching, operational control, remote monitoring and troubleshooting. The cities will need to account for these functions, even if the cloud provider doesn’t offer the required device management components. Comprehensive digital infrastructure management enables connected devices to easily and securely communicate with other devices and cloud platforms.
