Build an IoT business case
The IoT has the potential to lower costs, improve productivity, enhance safety and open new markets by changing how a company acquires, communicates, stores, analyzed and visualizes data. Despite seemingly obvious benefits, building a strong IoT business case can be challenging.
This ebook includes a deep exploration of how to build a bullet-proof IoT business case. You’ll find guidelines to help you show how the solution will generate value and move beyond the proof of concept (PoC) to be implemented at scale.
IoT challenges
Learn from early adopters how to manage unexpected challenges of the IoT. Based on a survey conducted by IndustryWeek of manufacturing professionals who have launched IoT projects, we share key takeaways. Respondents share the positive impacts as well as implementation challenges, and you can learn from their experiences and insights to avoid surprises and potential pitfalls as you plan your own IoT implementation.
Top five requirements for success with the industrial IoT
Simply put, there are no shortcuts to a successful industrial IoT deployment. Successful deployments are strategic in nature, requiring the right mix of tool, processes and procedures. Analysts following the rapid rise of IoT identify five requirements for success. They demonstrate a critical need for advance planning to avoid complications.
Here are the top five requirements for success with the industrial IoT that your aerospace and defense organization should consider carefully:
- Create a well-rounded team.
