Agenda

increase of technological innovations
and human-robotic collaboration.

“Innovation should be used to support and enhance human
productivity rather than replacing it altogether, the second
Industrial Revolution and electricity gave birth to the car assembly
line which in turn led to more jobs being created for human
laborers.”

Big Data provides supplier networks with
greater data accuracy, clarity, and insights,

Agenda

14. Why IoT?
Want to know how many Watts you have
consumed, how many tax credits you are
owed, how many steps you have walked
or whether your car engine is performing
optimally?
The IoT can tell you that and a lot more
But can IoT bring value to your organization?

15. Gartner estimates that more than half of new
business processes and systems will
incorporate some element of IoT by 2020.
McKinsey & Co predicts that by 2025, the IoT
will have a total potential economic impact
of $3.9 trillion to $11.1 trillion a year. Of this
total, business-to-business (B2B) applications
will likely capture nearly 70% of the value.
