Data shared by the Internet of Things (IoT) offers a powerful opportunity for businesses to design new customer offerings, deliver enhanced efficiencies, and provide unprecedented insight into how to deliver value to their customers. BCG's IoT consultants help organizations unlock new revenue streams, efficiencies, and possibilities.
IoT leaders understand that, at its core, IoT is a fundamental component—and enabler—of digital transformation.
Winning with IoT means connecting more than just devices. It means linking your strategy with your digital journey; employing the right emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and blockchain; collaborating with the right partners and digital ecosystems; and establishing new processes and ways of working.
It’s a tall order for companies, but by understanding the new IoT trends—such as better economics, edge computing, AI and AR, blockchain, and improved connectivity—and how best to leverage them, organizations of all types—businesses, governments, and nonprofits alike—will find that the possibilities for innovation and value are virtually boundless.
