The Internet of Things as a catalyst for digital transformation

Data has always been a critical resource, a source of ideas for beneficial transformation and innovation. The collection methods were gradually improved, allowing for the collection of ever increasing volumes of more complex and better data. The Internet of Things has given new impetus to the development of data collection methods and opened up exciting opportunities for business transformation and growth.



Currently, the main items of expenditure in the field of Internet of Things are IT-oriented projects, including data center management, video surveillance and security monitoring. According to forecasts of 451 Research, various options for the application of the Internet of Things will be becoming more widespread in organizations as they become more familiar with these technologies.



This will be facilitated by recent advances in key technologies that have helped build capacity and make the Internet of Things more practical from a practical point of view, and have also become a catalyst for digital transformation in enterprises.



If you analyze the ecosystem and the driving forces of the Internet of Things, you will understand the unprecedented opportunities for business growth they offer.

Currently, most examples of the practical application of these technologies lie in the IT plane, but it is expected that the Internet of Things will be increasingly used in industry. The largest industrial enterprises, including GE, Siemens and Schneider, are already making billions of investments in their platforms for the Internet of Things.



Products and services of a technical nature, in particular, are vulnerable to the so-called “digital vortex” due to rapid changes in the market. From the possibility of scaling, the rapid introduction and adaptation of new technologies will depend on how durable these technologies will be.
