Bottom line The underlying technology of sensors and wireless embedded devices is an important evolution, but is not in itself compelling. Asset intelligence is the application of those technical advancements to produce real business value. It is closely related to the thrust of the 2010 Technology Trend on Information Automation – the shift from hindsight to insight to foresight. Asset intelligence breaks-down the paradigm of IT as “collect, aggregate, then decide” to a more real-time “sense, decide, and act.” It empowers more of a corporation’s balance sheet as potential inputs to process and information automation – at ground zero of business operations. And ultimately, it shifts IT from a hypothetical model of the business to an active participant – allowing decisions to be made and insight to be gathered across the value chain. JRT: this is Deloitte’s own definition, the “bottom line” at the end of their report on Asset Intelligence I ended up putting the “collect, aggregate, decide vs “sense, decide, act” on to the next slide for now
