Making Business Sense of the Internet of Things

With better data – and more of it – comes improvements in efficiency and better, more informed business decision. At least that's the thinking behind the boom in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. Most American and British business leaders agree, according to new study from Aeris, a provider of machine-to-machine (M2M) and IoT solutions and services, and research firm Vanson Bourne. Seventy-four percent of the 300 executives surveyed by the company in the U.S. and U.K. feel that IoT will enable them to better meet their key business objectives in the coming year, while 71 percent said IoT will help them gain a competitive edge.
