CHALLENGES 

AND 

TARGETS
Problem – Missing Interoperability

Challenges in the IoT? 


The development of cross-platform and cross-domain services and applications is hampered by the plethora of available IoT platforms,
frameworks, protocols, and data formats. Thus, developers require significant efforts to integrate their heterogeneous systems, which leads
naturally to isolated vertical solutions (“silos”). 

Consequently, data and services available in one solution cannot be leveraged by others. It is estimated that around 40% of the potential
economic value of the IoT is bound by the lack of interoperability1.
