5 Phases for IoT Success | Smart & Resilient Cities
In the world of Smart Cities, the Internet of Things (IoT) is often referenced as a solution with clear chances of success. This is a vast overstatement. While technological innovations like the IoT can be used to drive innovation in cities, only 15 percent of IoT projects achieve their desired outcome.
This information comes from Steve Postma, an enterprise architect at healthcare IT company Sysmex America. Having worked on IoT projects in the past, Postma joined PTC’s Michael Anderson for a panel on IoT project best practices at this year’s LiveWorx event. In keeping with the idea that technology is not simply a silver bullet, the duo’s presentation was titled “IoT Success is not a Sure Thing, but there is a Light at the End of the Tunnel.” To elaborate on said light, Postma told the audience his five phases that help lead to IoT project success.
