Microsoft, IFS and IDC share their view on how to effectively realize business value from IoT
As the Internet of Things (IoT) reaches a tipping point from being a well discussed ‘hot-topic’ to a clearer driver of business value, organizations need to map out the practical steps of evaluating how IoT can help them digitally transform their businesses. Of course these steps will be different for each sector, business, function and even commercial opportunity, but there are common considerations to evaluate in deciding how (and if) IoT will realize a desired business value.
In this webinar you will learn from three industries experts who will share their experience and views on how to embark on this journey. Microsoft from a technology perspective, IFS from a business software perspective, and finally IDC relating to today and tomorrow’s best practices.
Register to this webinar to learn how you go from insight to action.
