Besides bringing us Internet-enabled light bulbs and self-driving cars, the IoT will bring to

Businesses are already able to apply lessons from the data they gather from IoT-enabled sensors to their own operations, and early adopters stand to reap rewards from this data ap

Market analysts from Gartner1 to McKinsey are predicting there will be somewhere between 20 billion and 30 billion digitally connected devices by 2020, equating to a multi-trillio

Cisco has some interesting numbers on this. The company calculated that IoT devices created 134.5 zettabytes of dat

In a helpful comparison, a Cisco infographic3 heralding the “dawn of the Zettabyte era” equated 1ZB to the Great Wall of China when 1MB is the volume

And if that data is to be useful in unlocking potential economic impact, then it needs to be mined for patterns and insights through the appropr

Not just “what has happened?” but “what does this mean?” and “what should we do next?” And we can begin dele

Regardless, businesses that are slow to plan for the IoT will quickly find themselves lef behind. “Whether we like it or not, this is t
