# Bottleneck Strategies

The following is the general Bottleneck startegy that `Bello` is currently looking into as part of its desired roadmap. We have previously discussed a semi-open ecosystem, where we offer openness in two main categories

### Which components are possible “bottleneck”?

To categorize a bottleneck, we need to first understand the essence of bottleneck. The bottleneck is the **least replaceable part of the value chain or industry architecture, where value accrues**

In this case, we identified these 3 as its control allows us to best gain leverage of the entire platform and offer avenue where we can provide value on the entire ecosystem. In addition, the current issue faced by the exisiting system is that current systems are very fragmented and lack interoperability. We hence solve this 'bottleneck' by issuing an effective platform

In our case, the main bottleneck lies with the following:

- The VOIP protocol between hardware -> platform's server
- The platform core server
- Propietary firmware



### What would you like to keep in house? 

To meet the bottleneck strategies, the following components will be kept in house
- The VOIP protocol between hardware -> platform's server
- The platform core server
- Propietary firmware
- Consumer grade application


### What would you like to open up for the suppliers,complementors, or open-source crowds to design, develop and deliver?

**Open source**:
1. MQTT Service/API (Open Standard protocol, but we offer open source tools for integration with our platform)
    - Rationale here is to offer product diversity
    - Offer 3rd party integrations for industrial grade uses

2. Standardised OAuth APIs/SDK (Open Source built on Open Standard as well)

The Rationale:
Open source these 2 as they are the funnels into our system. By making it open source, we can capture a larger target audience/market



**Complementor**:
```
Complementors represent a key role played by firms in an ecosystem. These are the
actors who produce complementary products and services that contribute towards
the focal offer’s value creation
```
1. Smart Door Handle (Consumer and Industrial)
2. Other home related IOT devices
3. Industry CCTVs 
4. 3rd party verification systems (eg; ninjavan's system)

The Rationale
- Allow for 3rd party integrations
- Complementor as we will be designing the platform around the complementor's ability, and that user has the option to decide to use this
- These components can be supplied by others w/out harming cost or quality 


**Supplier**
1. Cloud Services to built platform on (AWS/IBMCloud)
2. IC Chips Manufacturer
3. The Smart Dorbell Hardware
