This report examines the capabilities of Deloitte in Digital Transformation. It provides a comprehensive review of the products, services, and capabilities of Deloitte across 11 technology areas and dozens of functions, to determine its core strengths for meeting enterprise needs. The 11 technology families in which the vendor’s capabilities are assessed are IoT, Hyperconnectivity, Human Machine Interface, Artificial Intelligence, Distributed Ledger, Data Sharing, Product Lifecycle Management, Robotic Process Automation, Edge Computing, Autonomous Robotic Systems, and 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing. While these might not encompass every possible technology that organisations might need in order to purse a Digital Transformation, they certainly represent the most disruptive, and therefore the ones of which enterprises should be most aware. The report includes rating across each of the technology areas and functional capabilities (specialised hardware, general hardware, software products, integrated solutions, application development, systems integration and project management, specialist services, field & operational services) using Transforma Insight’s four-level universal rating system for vendors in Digital Transformation. Internet of Things, for instance, spans hardware, software, application development, implementation, field services and specialist services. For each of the 92 combinations of function and technology, Deloitte is rated for whether its capabilities are ‘Emerging’, ‘Significant’ or ‘Market Leading’ (or ‘None’). This rating is based on both the credibility of the solution and the position of the offering in the market (e.g. market share).
Navigating the generative AI vendor landscape

CXOs are becoming increasingly aware of the potential of generative AI to reshape their businesses. Many are evaluating its use in their business applications and have started experimenting with the technology to automate processes such as summarising and extracting information from a large volume of content, facilitating call centre support, enhancing personalised content creation, and more. The most effective way to realise the full potential of generative AI is through an ecosystem of partners that have access to the technology and expertise in the area. But with so many vendors entering the market and with the wide range of options available, companies are often left confused. Amidst the crowded vendor market, organisations need a clear and informed approach to effectively navigate through this complex vendor landscape. This report contains an overview of the main options available in the market. The choice of vendors depends on whether companies prefer to build generative AI systems from scratch or purchase pre-existing solutions to achieve their desired outcome. Broadly, generative AI vendors can be grouped into four categories: 1) Foundation model or Large Language Model (LLM) providers, 2) Infrastructure providers, 3) Software providers, and 4) IT service providers (including system integrators). In this report, we discuss the generative AI offerings offered by each of these sets of vendors in the market.

Quantum Computing: Understanding the basic principles and fundamentals of quantum computers
- Quantum Computing
- Qubits
- Quantum Gates
- Quantum Algorithms
- Shor Algorithm
- Grover Algorithm
- Superposition
- Entanglement

- Quantum Circuits
- Simon’s Algorithm
- Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm
- Quantum Hardware
- Quantum Software
- Quantum Computers
This report discusses the basics of quantum computing along with necessary terminologies one needs to know in order to understand the working of quantum computers. Quantum computing is a branch of computing that uses quantum theory to solve problems that are too large or complex for traditional computers, and at exponentially faster rates. These machines manipulate the quantum state of an object to produce qubits to perform complex operations. These qubits lead to the formation of quantum gates that further combine to create quantum circuits, which are the basic functional blocks of a quantum computer and are responsible for performing operations using one of the many quantum algorithms. In this report we outline the basic principles of quantum computing and how it works, including discussion of qubits, relevant principles of quantum mechanics (including superposition, entanglement, and interference). We also discuss quantum gates and quantum circuits, including consideration of key gate types and how these are configured into circuits. Quantum algorithms are key aspects of the coming quantum computing revolution, and we discuss some of the most significant, including Shor’s Algorithm, Grover’s Algorithm, Simon’s Algorithm, and the Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm. Lastly, we outline the key components of a quantum computer, including both hardware and software, and discuss alternative types of quantum computers and quantum processors (including gate-based, quantum annealers, and photonic quantum computers).

This report provides an update on the IoT MVNO Market Landscape report published in November 2021. It includes analysis of the capabilities of 188 MVNOs (up from 175 previously) around the world, including profiles of each. Based on that analysis we draw some conclusions on the current state of the IoT MVNO market landscape. We consider which are the leading IoT MVNOs and look at how the MVNO landscape has changed in the last two years, including a large amount of M&A (almost 30% of MVNOs have been involved in some form in the last 3 years), plus how technology changes such as eSIM (including the forthcoming SGP.32 standard) changes the landscape further.

The sales funnel: building momentum, dysfunction, or both?
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- digital transformation
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
- technical marketing
Traditionally, sales funnels are a way of organizing the journey of buyers through marketing and sales stages. However, technology markets are accelerating and their increasing complexity results in emergent market factors. As a result, an organization’s defined buyer journeys and sales funnels diverge from market realities. Moreover, because sales funnels are tied to an organization’s revenue lifeline; they are are a nexus for power dynamics and social positioning. Therefore, a critical perspective and adaptability is warranted to mitigate against the negative byproducts associated with sales funnels in accelerating technology environments. The first steps to increased adaptability include awareness of the sales funnel’s negative byproducts including: the illusion of control, reinforcement of power dynamics, oversimplifying complexity, dysfunctional momentum, and the reduction of people to profits and costs. In this report we explore the nature of the sales funnel and its use, and particularly focus on the unwanted byproducts that it can produce, as well as offering some thoughts on alternative approaches. Leaders, and especially those whose expertise is tied to using the sales funnel, are encouraged to bring adaptability to sales funnel processes by critically reviewing and continually calibrate sales funnels to markets, including its definitions, timelines, and role in the organization.

The last few years have seen substantial competitive pressure on the price of cellular-based IoT connectivity. Many Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and some IoT-focused Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) have sought to find alternative approaches to enhancing and differentiating their offerings in order to mitigate the consequent impact on revenue, including the layering on of additional value-added services. This report examines approaches to pricing and packaging of the core IoT connectivity-related products, and mechanisms that might be engaged in an effort to avoid the commoditisation of connectivity that seems to be the prevailing trend. This includes consideration of data plans and positioning connectivity as part of an end-to-end offering.
