What is Innovation Delivery as a Service (IDAAS)?

IDAAS is CBT's comprehensive approach that takes you from initial technology confusion to measurable operational results through our proven three-phase methodology.

Unlike traditional vendors who sell you equipment and walk away, our Digital Sherpa approach guides you through every step:

🔍 Phase 1: Business Consulting & Quickstart Navigate the noise of emerging technologies through structured design-thinking sessions. We listen to your frontline workers and management to identify real business values that need addressing.

🛠️ Phase 2: Value-Added Reselling Procure all necessary hardware, software, and services for pilots through full deployment. One partner, complete solution, long-term support.

⚙️ Phase 3: System Integration Ensure successful adoption and implementation. Your technology assets work together as intended, delivering the ROI identified in Phase 1.

The Result: De-risked innovation that delivers real operational value, not just cool demos.

QUICKSTART

What is a Quickstart?

A Quickstart is a design-thinking ideation session used to make quick progress around complex needs. By asking questions and using an empathy-driven approach, we develop unique, creative solutions that improve your experience and the experience of your customers.

Why Choose Quickstart?
At CBT, we understand that Industrial IoT projects are complex and challenging to get off the ground. That’s why we take a crawl, walk, run approach. We’ll never ask our customers to commit to a multi-million-dollar project before proving its value. We dedicate the time and resources upfront to make sure we’re minimizing your risk and maximizing your investment. Our unique approach ensures you have small, strategic wins and tangible ROI before you fund at scale.

Successful Engagements

CBT's design process helped us identify that our internal team needed to take a step back and gain alignment instead of working off assumptions. By pausing and partnering with CBT, we were able to better define our objectives to ensure the success of the project.
