Enterprises would most like IT vendors to play well with others as IoT projects bring together a range of IT, operational technology, and systems integrator vendors to deploy and operate data-driven use cases.
With ESG and sustainability targets becoming more formalized, companies are directing IoT technology and use cases to help reduce energy consumption, adopt renewable energy sources, and track and reach ESG reporting targets.
Beyond some early mainstays, the connected product and add-on service market is in its infancy. Manufacturers must pick the right service model, be mindful of privacy and security, and focus on smart products that get smarter over time, according to 451 Research's VoCUL: Endpoints and IoT, Connected Products 2022 survey.
