As enterprises increase their global deployments of IT services at the edge, internet of things (IoT) adoption is expected to follow suit. IoT revenue is expected to grow rapidly as companies integrate IoT platforms within their businesses, with IDC predicting worldwide spending on IoT software and hardware to grow from $726 billion in 2019 to $1.1 trillion in 2023.[i]
As the IoT market matures and companies seek to derive value from it, new considerations and best practices are emerging. IoT relies on a highly distributed network capturing data, which needs to be analyzed in real time given that it can rapidly lose value over time. This leaves enterprise business and IT managers asking themselves: How can I process data while the intrinsic value is still high? In addition, as IoT devices proliferate and the amount of data increases, the need to seamlessly integrate partners becomes even more crucial.
