Enterprises and service providers have been looking at
IoT as a key enabler to drive digital transformation and to
unlock the operational efficiencies. Advances in Artificial
Intelligence coupled with ubiquitous connectivity, and
real-time communication are enabling exponential growth
in efficiencies generated by IoT. As machines and products
have started communicating with each other without
any human intervention, the real value of data is getting
generated through better and faster decision-making,
predictive analytics and automation.
