The Internet of Things provides a host of opportunities for enterprises to design, develop and launch smart, connected devices, integrated with enterprise systems through new cross-platform applications and enhanced with services based on advanced analytics. As a result, enterprises have additional opportunities to develop new business models, explore new customer engagement structures, and potentially develop new revenue streams. The broad-ranging impact of Enterprise IoT is changing the rules of business.
In this second paper of a three part series from Machina research, we begin to examine the more operational elements of Enterprise IoT, looking to develop a high level understanding of the different technology domains and components in an IoT architecture as well as highlight the important factors that executives should take into consideration when starting on a blueprint for Enterprise IoT.
This paper also provides an initial perspective on enterprises preparing a high level feasibility study before finalizing which applications to pursue, with the aim of enabling enterprise executives to recognize and appreciate the complexity and wide range of technical components in an Enterprise IoT solution. This can also act as a final short-listing tool before starting the business case phase.
