Is IoT Enablement on your 2019 New Year Resolution List?

The Internet of Things is what everyone has been talking about. IoT is expected to reach more than 20.4 billion connected units by 2020 (Gartner, 2017). This accounts for more than 60% of all applications in the world across almost every industry.

Businesses are investing in IoT to match not only the growing need for more data and smart solutions but also the consumers’ interest. Companies are expected to increase their hardware budget by 35% and their connectivity budget by 22% by 2020 ensuring a certain return on investment (Forbes, 2017). Business Insider, for example, predicts a $13 trillion ROI by 2025, almost 10 times the investment cost companies have spent in the past several years.

Are you connected?

Joining the IoT world opens not only new revenue streams but also allows you to improve your workflow, efficiency, and traceability and to react better to your customers’ needs.

However, connecting is simply the starting point for a business. Establishing a strategy on how to use the data supplied by the IoT is crucial for all enabled businesses. It drives intelligent decision-making in the vast sea of data.

Using real-time data analytics gives the ability to provide fast responses to both customers and competitors. Sensing and responding to customers at the right moment matters to them and gives you the opportunity to create new services using existing capabilities. Are you using your systems in the most efficient way? Do you react faster than your competitors? Every second counts.

IoT enablement will increase your market resilience. Combined with a real-time data analytics strategy, it can reveal new business opportunities or points for improvement. As a result, it gives you the ability to operate in a 24-hour real-time business environment.
