Why do enterprises want IoT?

September 19, 2017 by Stacey Higginbotham

Connected cars, workers and buildings offer almost complete visibility into business operations. But for the most successful companies, the process starts with a use case. One executive at a prominent company doing IoT deployment told me, “When someone calls asking for ‘some IoT’ I don’t even call them back.” I imagine he does call them back, but he’s right that he can’t help until he has a use case. So what are the big use cases in enterprise IoT deployments?

Verizon this week issued a report on its view of the internet of things featuring drones, use cases and more good information. But my favorite was the chart below, discussing what executives were most interested in.
