IoT has evolved from the convergence of wireless technologies, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), microservices and the internet.
The convergence has helped tear down the silos between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT), enabling unstructured
machine-generated data to be analyzed for insights to drive improvements.
Every industry in the world now relies on data for business needs. IoT will expand and improve that data by connecting billions of devices capable of
immediately sharing, receiving, and analyzing massive amounts of it to better meet business needs and improve decision-making.
Across industries, the next generation of intelligent solutions are moving into physical environments.
Improving traffic flows in smart cities, telemedicine that continuously analyzes a patient’s condition,
and disaster analysis that prevents oil field catastrophes before they start are all possible with intelligent solutions.
IT Infrastructures need to be developed to reach into the dynamic physical environments they want to serve–and it needs to happen now.
