Get ahead of your data before IoT explodes

For decades organisations have had machines connected to networks, for instance in mining and manufacturing as well as other sectors, which through automation continue to streamline processes and outputs.

Parallel to this, we have seen significant advances in consumer technology since the advent of the Internet. However, we are now on the brink of having not only people, but machines and business networks all connected to the Internet and each other in the next big defining wave of technology transformation – the Internet of Things (IoT).

IoT is set to revolutionise society and business in much the same way as the arrival of the Internet. In fact, according to our 2015 Global Technology Innovation survey*, 10 percent of the technology business leaders surveyed for EMEA revealed that IoT leaped past several other technologies to join Cloud and mobile as the most impactful business transformation drivers.
