#News(General) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]
Q. Do you see technology companies taking the IoT directly to customers?
A. The IoT is more of an eco-system play, which is mostly fronted by SI. It not just about technology, but the system, change management and integrating with operational technologies. Most importantly, a strong domain expertise is required to make sense and use of data collected by this vast sensor embedded in different aspects of businesses. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, hence technology companies will not be able to directly take a solution and address all challenges of an enterprise or an industry.
It’s more of a collaboration between system integrators, technology partners, platform players, OEMs and to a good extent customers themselves to analyse business challenges, priorities, requirements, digital journey and define return on investment (RoI). The technology may contribute just about 30-40 per cent but defining the business priorities and working with process consultants and OEMs are crucial. Also, system integrators will be able to draw insights from data for true actions and integration possibilities with legacy and new-age digital systems, which forms the rest of the contribution.
