A recent report shows that 64% Internet of Things (IoT) decision makers at enterprises prefer an off-the-shelf IoT solution over a custom offering.

History is littered with examples of technology companies that failed to adapt when there was a sea change in the prevailing business model. Consider the companies that fell by the wayside when the software industry switched from a per-license pricing model to SaaS. We’re on the precipice of a similar sea change within IoT.

After a red-hot quarter, internet of things (IOT) developer Samsara is going public Wednesday, Dec. 15. Appropriately, it will start trading under the IOT ticker. Preliminary estimates suggest the firm will grab a $11.6 billion valuation, meaning that IOT stock is in for a hair-raising week.

Any device connected to the internet can be hacked, attacked and misused by those with criminal intent. The number of “things” now connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) is ever-growing. Wi-Fi is the preferred network connection for consumer IoT, whereas, for industrial IoT, cellular is often required. But cellular connectivity poses some unique security challenges.

How will the internet of things evolve in the year 2022? Check out a few predictions by Matt Hatton, founding partner, Transforma Insights.

A previous article on IoT Business News, shared a recent assessment by Transforma Insights of the trend towards ‘$1 IoT’, i.e. that price erosion means that there is a very real prospect of a prevailing pricing model, at least for low bandwidth IoT devices, of $1 per year for cellular connectivity. In the face of this trend, connectivity providers need to adapt their strategy.

Enterprise adopters of the Internet of Things are ready to take an easier path, shows a new Oracle survey.

A new report by analyst house Transforma Insights for IT hardware and services provider Oracle says enterprise IoT adoption has turned a corner, and gained some newfound maturity.

Oracle study of 800 global IoT adopters agree that prioritizing commercial off-the-shelf solutions and bundled connectivity are the way forward. The survey, conducted with Transforma Insights, also indicates a sea change in how IoT providers are designing and deploying, reflecting increasing productization and platformization in this space.
