The 'Internet of Things' is one of those big buzzword things that lots of people get excited about, but is quite

hard to nail down what it really means – and analyst predictions on the size of the 'IoT' market vary wildly.

Now that IoT has reached its 'Peak of Inflated Expectations', what will businesses really make of IoT and

how will they use it? We will talk about our early experiences of implementing IoT-style solutions, the types

of technology we're using, and most importantly how they are helping our clients rethink their fundamental

business models.

The Internet of Things will include 26 billion units installed by 2020. IoT product and service suppliers will generate incremental revenue exceeding $300 billion, mostly in services, in 2020. It will result in $1.9 trillion in global economic value-add through sales into diverse end markets.
