Business and Technical Capabilities for IoT Drive Market Outcomes

THE OPPORTUNITY: Create Value through Intelligent Connectivity

The Internet of Things (IoT) – a network of devices and systems operating in synchronicity to achieve purposeful, coordinated outcomes – is not a new concept, but only recently has the enabling technology advanced to the point at which IoT solutions have become feasible at sufficient scale and with sufficient reliability to drive meaningful business results.

Yet significant challenges remain. When contemplating connected solutions and associated business models, organizations must articulate a value proposition that customers, partners, and even internal audiences find compelling. They must outline a strategy for bringing solutions to market in both a business and technical sense, evolving them over time, and defending against competitor inroads.

They must be able to translate the vision and strategy for IoT into tangible, functional, reliable solutions that deliver enterprise-grade performance over the entire solution lifecycle, while also contributing to positive financial results. Additionally, organizations must ensure that they have the capabilities and resources to support each solution.

Organizations that have already proceeded down the IoT path may be experiencing business and technical challenges for which no easy answers are evident. In this still relatively nascent market, any organization may lack confidence in its approach and see value in applying a structured methodology to drive deeper understanding of the business and technical capabilities required to achieve IoT success.
