Breaking Boundaries
IoT has rapidly grown through the adoption of connected devices , streaming data and improved consumer experiences . This growth has proven to reduce costs and increase revenues through incrementally improved product features and capabilities . But the real value ; the true halo effect of IoT monetization will be realized as organizations break boundaries , merging and integrating data across companies and providers that were once competitors or working in distinct markets . Both consumers and IoT providers will see tremendous advantages through new capabilities and financial benefits with the continued integration and availability of IoT data .
At CTP , many of our clients have an abundance of unused data . They realize the potential value , but they do not have the skills or expertise to take advantage of the IoT opportunity . If you are an enterprise manager , you too may be sitting on a gold mine of data that could open up entirely new areas for your company to collaborate with others and create innovative new products that could never have existed before .
