In a few short years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has gone from a promising technology to a major factor in any organisation’s calculations for its future.
Digitisation is one of the most far-reaching transformations to have swept through business, affecting every industry and sector, both public and private.
But IoT has the potential to supercharge that transformation even further.
It can bring insight and control at incredible levels of detail, promising new business models, unlocking previously untappable gains in productivity and cost saving, and heralding new opportunities, innovations and skills.
70% of businesses believe the Internet of Things is already having an impact on their sector.
There’s little doubt IoT will be a major disruptor. The question for many organisations is how to gain a foothold so they can ride the wave, rather than being swamped by it. A foothold that makes sound business sense.
It’s a challenge that needs a different way of thinking. View IoT as just an army of sensors that need to be connected, and it’s difficult to make a business case with an immediate and tangible ROI.
But think of it as a new ecosystem that will rewrite what data can do for your organisation and that case becomes far more justifiable.
