IoT STRATEGY : INSIGHTS FROM EARLY IoT ADOPTERS Powered byGLOBAL IoT REPORT 2017 Technology and trends come and go, but IoT has what it takes to transform organizations and shape the next generation of industry. This research, based on robust, thorough and exciting data from independent research specialists Vanson Bourne, finds that around four in ten (38%) have already implemented IoT and a further 57% plan to in the future. What is also impressive is that 50% of respondents’ organizations are either ahead of or in line with the IoT curve. IoT is bringing huge benefits to organizations who have taken the plunge, and many more desire this.100% of respondents would expect to see benefits if their organization were able to increase their use of IoT. But organizations are facing challenges in scaling up their IoT adoption, with 93% who see challenges with the security, among other areas such as scalability and interoperability. Additionally, nine in ten (90%) of those currently using or planning to use IoT face challenges when deciding on the right IoT platform. While most organizations are adopting IoT, many of these early adopters are not taking the right path to overcome the challenges that they face. But, all is not yet lost. A proven end-to-end IoT service provider can aid this transition. Most organizations are already seeing that this is the way forward, with almost three quarters (73%) planning to outsource at least some end-to-end IoT implementation to a service provider. Furthermore, nearly all (98%) of those who are using IoT or planning to, see IoT service providers playing a major role in their organization’s IoT journey and forming a valuable partnership. Working alongside a market leading service provider will prove critical to success. Organizations need to act now. Over eight in ten (82%) agree that organizations using IoT will have a stronger position in the marketplace. Those who are held back risk losing their customer base, financial gains and may find their unique selling points disappear. If an organization does not evolve and adapt, then simply, their competitors will. Executive Summary HCL commissioned independent technology market research specialist Vanson Bourne to undertake the research. A total of 263 senior IT and business decision makers were interviewed in September and October 2016 globallywithin the following sectors: Interviews were primarily conducted online in the US, the UK, Germany and the Nordics using a rigorous multi-level screening process to ensure that only suitable candidates were given the opportunity to participate. Research Scope 131 52 50264GEOGRAPHIES US UK Germany Nordics OthersROSE SCHOOLER Vice President (Intel Corporation) We see internet of things as a huge opportunity to save resources, save money and save lives. For example, technologies such as collaborative cancer cloud provides excellent insights into data that allows you to create personalised care and put medicine at work for individuals, ultimately saving lives. Investment in and the adoption of IoT are almost inevitable, for good reason. Of respondents whose organizations are using or planning to use IoT, more than six in ten cite improving business process efficiency (65%), better customer satisfaction (65%) and cost saving (62%) as primary drivers for adoption. organizations need to build an IoT platform on existing technologies and capabilities, which is bespoke and meets their individual requirements. Otherwise, they will not be successful. Utilising IoT fully will drive additional benefits for organizations. The most likely expected benefits include increased organizational efficiency (66%) and improved use of data in order to drive insights (53%). Despite high adoption rates, there is still some confusion over IoT.54% organizations may need help in understanding how the benefits of IoT and end-to-end implementation are linked. ATTRIBUTES FOR SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION IoT is a technology trend that is rightly gaining in profile and credibility. Are you one of the early adopters of IoT If not, you could be left behind. Those using IoT tend to be at the beginning of their journey and find themselves in the ‘define’ and ‘build’ stages. Elements that are considered for an ideal IoT platform, include security (95%), end-to-end support (89%), scalability (86%) and interoperability (83%). Almost half (47%) have no formal IoT programme in place yet, when asked of respondents whose organizations are using IoT. Of the same respondent group, almost half (46%) state that they are currently defining or evaluating their IoT platform. organizations need a programme in place, so that they can achieve the full range of opportunities that they, and their customers, can experience through IoT. Of respondents whose organizations are planning to implement IoT,73% say that they plan to outsource at least some of their implementation. Ongoing support from a reliable end-to-end provider in order to establish and maintain an IoT platform is key for maximizing, according to early adopters. In addition,89% say that their investment in IoT will increase in three years’ time. IoT has a plethora of benefits on offer and has longevity – this is clear from the substantial investment being allocated.

Ultimately, using IoT is going to elevate the reputation and/or product offering of organizations. The vast majority (82%) agree that organizations using IoT are in a stronger position in the marketplace. While, half (50%) think that their organization is in line with or ahead of the curve on IoT. This also means that half are behind the curve. If these organizations do not act now, they could see their competitors reducing costs, increasing efficiencies and gaining market share. Which half is your organization in Should you be concerned Of respondents whose organizations are currently using IoT or who plan to in the future,98% state that IoT service providers can play a role in their journey. Value is most likely to be seen in IoT device security (51%) and defining IoT solutions that can be used (49%), while 22% say the same for the use of a scalable IoT infrastructure.
