Are You IoT Ready?
Monday, April 25th 9:45am to 10:15am
The hype on the Internet of Things (IoT) is at its peak; the reality is that most companies today are still in learning mode on IoT. Mobile network operators, systems integrators, hardware vendors and software providers are all using the hype surrounding IoT to drive new revenue streams and help their enterprise customers digitally transform their businesses. Recent research from James Brehm & Associates found that while over 70% of enterprises are working on IoT, fewer than 18% of deployments could be viewed as successful. And this means enterprises are looking for help and clarity, now more than ever before.
This session will define IoT, explain the IoT value chain, point out members of the IoT stack and where they add value, discuss the current state of the market, describe the five greatest challenges in IoT today — lack of people with required skills, security, can’t prove the RoI, interoperability/integration, data ownership and appropriate data use—that companies must resolve before launch and how companies are resolving these concerns by means of internal and external relationships. It will highlight how IoT is being deployed, showcase successful use cases as well as point out examples of what not to do. Finally, the session will feature the basics on conducting a readiness assessment followed by Q&A.
For participating in the session, participants will receive access to valuable market research on the State of the Industry and a copy of James Brehm & Associates IoT Readiness Assessment.</p>
