Are You Ready for the "Business" of the Internet-of-Things?

 

Navigate digital disruption with an end-to-end digital business strategy.

Professor Michael Porter's recent Harvard Business Review articles on Internet-of-Things (IoT) make clear that it is about business transformation, not another tool. It has become the foundation of an entirely new way of doing business, as well as giving rise to entirely new businesses. There will be 100 billion connected devices expected by 2025, leading to a trillion sensor ecosystem. 1 billion digital natives expected to join the workforce over the next 7 years.  In a hyper-connected era of mobile, social, cloud, big data, and the Internet of Things, future business models will depend on the availability of more data flowing through more systems, being accessed and used by more people.

Formulating end-to-end digital strategies, leading the activation of new product/service solution roadmaps, designing new customer experiences and business models, and championing digital business transformation inside companies and within customer organizations will be a primary strategic and tactical challenge.  Thoughtful organic and inorganic strategy, and well-led product innovation, user experience, and evolution of existing assets and intellectual property will be key to a positive goal-directed digital transformation capable of contributing to significant growth and value creation.

5.4 Billion IoT Connected Enterprise Devices By 2020

Enterprise IoT Projected to Grow From 1.2 Billion To 5.4 Billion connected devices by 2020.

In our six years of Accredent's involvement with IoT we have seen the forecast for the number of connected enterprise devices continue to be adjusted upward each year as more businesses look to the technology to save money, collect useful information, transform their business models and change their basis of competition.

In the latest report from US mobile network Verizon projects that today's 1.2 billion business use devices connected to the internet will grow 28 percent year-over-year for the next five years to 5.4 billion by 2020.  Verizon believes the verticals and segments of energy and utilities, public sector, digital signage, connected CCTV, fleet management, and connected vehicles to be the sources of much of this growth.
