Why IoT Matters: User Expectations
Much as the smartphone completely transformed user
behavior and expectation in the last 10 years, connected
devices and wearables will change the way people live
and interact with products.
This means your users will expect just about every
device to connect. If you don’t connect, you can expect
to lose customers and market share.
Why IoT Matters: Revenue and Profit
2014: 2 billion devices shipped
2020: 8 billion devices shipped
2014: $180 billion in total revenue
2020: $1 trillion in total revenue

The driving philosophy behind the IIoT is that smart machines
are better than humans at accurately, consistently
capturing and communicating data. This data can enable companies to pick up on
inefficiencies and problems sooner, saving time and money
and supporting business intelligence efforts.
T E C H TA R G E T
In manufacturing specifically, IIoT holds great potential for
quality control, sustainable and green practices, supply chain
traceability and overall supply chain efficiency.

IoT hardware is not the end game: The profits, margins, and
innovations will come from products and services built on
open, flexible APIs.

Back-end systems—servers, storage and networks—must grow
into an Internet of Things architecture to support the
massive economic transition. From an IT support perspective,
the large number of small packets of data coming from multiple directions could cause chaos.

IoT could overwhelm a corporate WAN or [create] bottlenecks at remote or hosted sites. Any IoT
devices that have near-real-time needs should absolutely be designed and planned for.

The Internet of Things has gotten out of hand. Alongside devices where ‘smart’ makes sense, like security cameras, are items that have no defensible reason to be
on the internet, such as refrigerators, ovens, and washing
machines.

So many vendors that are making available IoT-based technology don’t necessarily have any idea how to produce those products.
There’s a toothbrush company out there with embedded technology
in their toothbrush now.

They may not understand security implications, or have a solid
security management program, so when issues are identified they
don’t know how to fix the problems, or even know how to
approach those problems.

The Internet of Things—or whatever you want to call it—has
the potential to save precious resources, spot and fight pollution,
and help people lead healthier, safer lives. But adding internet remote control to every single product on the market won’t necessarily help us get there.

What we need are thoughtful, affordable, durable devices that
actually, y’know, make our lives better.
