It’s time for businesses to embrace the Internet of Things

June 27, 2016

The term “perfect storm” is used to describe a scenario in which several forces come together to create a single, massive force. In the 1990s, the technology industry had it sown perfect storm. Forces such as low-cost PCs, home broadband, the development of the browser and the evolution of Windows came together and kicked off the Internet era. This storm was so powerful that it created a new economic model.

IoT Redefines Brand Experience and Customer Engagement

whitePaper | February 8, 2023

The Internet of Things (IoT), with its ability to connect devices and enable data exchange through embedded sensors, is garnering much interest across industries. TCS Global Trend 1 Study 2015 , highlights some of the major business model changes that are taking place across industries due to the adoption of the IoT. For the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry, the IoT offers widespread applicability across the value chain. CPG companies are likely to benefit the most by embedding sensors in products or services that touch end users directly, helping them drive consumer engagement throughout the consumption lifecycle. The IoT will also enable CPG companies to understand consumer needs better, thereby improving product designs or service models, leading to better brand loyalty and top-line growth.

Threat detection and response in cloud environments

whitePaper | August 1, 2022

Cloud environments change fundamental assumptions in how to perform threat detection and response. The highly dynamic inventory of cloud workloads means systems come and go in seconds. When system configuration errors are introduced during a build, they can be exacerbated and amplified when automation replicates the errors across many workloads. Shared responsibility with the cloud service provider (CSP) creates potential threat detection gaps in the attack lifecycle.

Global Industry Standards for Industrial IoT

whitePaper | June 2, 2021

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a rapidly expanding world of connected objects. As IIoT systems proliferate, large amounts of data are consumed by machine learning algorithms and shared between partners, customers and others. IIoT is a technology environment in which integration and interoperability are critical capabilities and the complexity of this environment makes this difficult to achieve. Standards play a critical role in IIoT for five main reasons. First, users and vendors cannot engineer a custom interface every time components or systems need to interact. Standards can make this explosion of interfaces manageable; they are the lingua franca for interoperability. For suppliers, this eliminates needless costs related to common capabilities instead encouraging a focus on innovations that add value.
