Interest in the Internet of Things (IoT) is at an all-time high, but companies need help to implement smart connected products or assets that meet the needs of their customers. In this Webinar, we outline four predictions for IoT in 2015 and their implications. CIOs will seek outside help in solving a specific set of problems introduced when implementing, integrating, and maintaining IoT technologies.
Agenda:
- The IoT focus will unfortunately remain on cost savings, rather than pivoting to how IoT enables better customer engagement and transformation.
- IoT competition will shift from hardware to cloud-based software and services platforms.
- Implementation examples will shift from "billions of devices" hype to useful new examples and case studies.
- Firms will begin to tackle how to showcase their brand through emerging IoT-connected ecosystems such as the connected home and connected car.
Key takeaways:
- Know that CIOs and chief technology officers will expand their focus from IoT-enabled cost savings to the business opportunity of greater product differentiation and business model transformation.
- Learn how IoT software platforms can simplify and speed smart/connected product implementations, while creating initial integration with enterprise systems.
- Understand the new business technology challenges of creating and expressing services through connected products.
