Evolutionary IoT: Starting small and controlling costs

/0 Comments/in /by

Data must earn its keep

Internet of Things (IoT) projects range from small to huge, and the small end of the spectrum is where we find growth. TBR believes that organizations that successfully exploit the enormous transformative potential of IoT do it through widespread and continual execution of IoT projects, and through ongoing generation of insights from integration of IoT-generated data. While some of the projects are large, most are small, usually focusing on reducing costs. For these projects to succeed, and for IoT to proliferate, they must generate positive ROIs and costs must be contained. All parts of an IoT project generate costs, but stored data generates increasing costs throughout the life of the project. For this reason, managing data-driven costs is key to IoT success. Join Ezra Gottheil and Dan Callahan as they discuss evolutionary IoT and data cost containment.

Don’t miss:

  • The transformative power of evolutionary IoT
  • Vendor messaging in the age of evolutionary IoT
  • Edge computing and cost-effective IoT

Virtualization flips the axis on technology monetization and adoption

/1 Comment/in /by

An exclusive review of TBR’s ongoing market analysis and tailored services frameworks

Technology monetization strategies continue pivoting from transaction sales to subscription sales predicated on building viable consortiums to generate the ecosystem flywheel effect. There has been an obvious shift in the consumption of basic compute resources from capitalized instances owned and maintained by enterprises to software-controlled, multicloud environments delivering “cloud economics” to traditional environments. Join TBR analysts Geoff Woollacott and Bryan Belanger as they analyze this shift and its expected impact on the market.

Virtualization and ongoing price point reductions shift internal IT departments from the role of security guard — rationing finite, costly resources — to the role of concierge — articulating the art of the possible to line-of-business users. In short, technology adoption will increasingly become a people problem addressed through consensus building around companywide business rules, while hardware has become a loss leader, as have some advisory services, to generate the long tail of sticky subscription services.

Don’t miss:

  • The general state of the technology monetization fabric and its disaggregation into discrete services components
  • The ongoing convergence of services providers, and the strengths and weaknesses of the conventional business models all struggling with the same pivot to participate in ecosystem flywheels
  • Common challenges needing market testing, given enterprise customers become increasingly unforgiving of monetization and service missteps

IoT is getting a lot easier

/0 Comments/in /by

While it is too early to say that the Internet of Things (IoT) market is fully mature, it is maturing. The first three years of the IoT era were filled with extravagant claims, inadequate products and services, and a chaotic partner ecosystem. Starting in 2018 and accelerating throughout 2019 and 2020, more customers will come to the market with an understanding of what they are looking for, offerings will be easier to implement and integrate, and the partnership ecosystem will be more navigable for both vendors and customers.

Join Ezra Gottheil and Daniel Callahan as they discuss their 2019 commercial IoT predictions and reveal what vendors need to know to compete effectively for IoT-related opportunities in the fast-evolving digital transformation space.

Don’t miss:

  • How the IoT ecosystem will evolve and how vendors will find their niches
  • How packaged and bundled IoT solutions will proliferate
  • Not all data is valuable: data economics will drive design

Customers care less, vendors buy more, and both sides become more intelligent

An exclusive review of TBR’s 2019 Cloud Predictions

The entire cloud market is becoming more defined, consolidated and focused on the business value being delivered. This increasing maturity is prompting acquisitions by leading vendors, which will intensify in 2019. Not only are big purchases being integrated, but more large purchases will be announced in the race to meet rising customer investment in cloud solutions. Even as customers spend more on cloud, they increasingly care less about the specific delivery method, resulting in widespread hybrid implementations. Lastly, the rise of integrated analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning will move customers further along in their journeys to transform their processes and technology to become more intelligent businesses.

Join Allan Krans, Cassandra Mooshian, Meaghan McGrath and Jack McElwee as they dig into developments in the cloud market through 2018 and expectations for 2019.

Don’t miss:

  • The risk and reward for additional cloud acquisitions
