IoT has taken hold

What once seemed like hyperbole, now seems like understatement.

USD 1.7 trillion in value added by the IoT to the global economy in 2019.1

82 percent of enterprise decision makers say IoT is strategic or transformative to their enterprise.3

From 13 billion to 29 billion Projected growth in connected devices by 20202

Proven value, immediate opportunity

Leaders are putting the physical world to work and achieving results now.

Transforming the customer experience

Boosting operational efficiency

Disrupting their industries

Extabytes of data are generated by the IoT every day.

And we’re only beginning

Think of all we’ve accomplished using only 12 percent of the data generated by the IoT. 88 percent

goes unused.4

What will we achieve as we unlock the rest?

Programmable computing thrives in prescribed, predictable scenarios but is too limited for the complex IoT landscape.

The IoT is a monumental data challenge. Cognitive computing can keep up.

Cognitive systems aren’t programmed. They learn from virtually every interaction and the surrounding context to unleash the potential of the IoT.

7

Outthink the competition with cognitive IoT

Cognitive IoT delivers insights once unknowable. Businesses can benefit in five key areas:

Extending expertise

Deepening human engagement

Creating cognitive processes and

operations

Infusing cognition into products and

services

Enhancing exploration and

discovery

8

Harness the power of cognitive IoT

Build your cognitive strategy.

Start with a simple, highly secure and scalable open platform designed for cognitive IoT.

Three things you must get right:

Solve business problems with industry-specific expertise, applications and solutions.
