The Industrial Internet

IoT = $1.9 trillion in 2020

$10 trillion to $15 trillion over

next 20 years

$462 billion in 2013 (22% of total ICT spending)

IoE

What Is the Internet of Everything (IoE)?

Delivering the right information to the right person (or machine) at the right time

Process

Physical devices and objects connected to the Internet and each other for intelligent decision-making; often called Internet of Things (IoT)

Things

Connecting people in more relevant,

valuable ways

People

Leveraging data into more useful

information for decision-making

Data

Networked Connection of People, Process, Data, Things

#FutureOfIT

Cisco’s earlier research showed IoE represents $19 trillion in value over the

next decade

#FutureOfIT

Market disruptions happen faster, and “winners take all”

Top CIO Challenges

#FutureOfIT

1. IoE supercharges IT complexity – and IT challenges

2. Apps are the oxygen of the business – but they can smother IT

3. Lines of business take IT into their own hands

4. IT service orchestration has been an elusive quest

89% of IT leaders consider

complexity a top challenge

46% of total IT spend

In order to innovate fast in the IoE era, organizations must be:

#FutureOfIT

• Hyper-aware – sense and monitor customer behaviors and market changes

• Predictive – anticipate transitions, proactively address threats

• Agile – respond faster than rivals, embrace disruptive innovation

Fast IT is the Solution for CIOs

#FutureOfIT

1. IoE demands a new operating model: Fast IT

2. A diverse ecosystem of clouds will provide the platform for change

3. Real-time data allows companies to respond to customers in real time

4. In the IoE era, the security perimeter is ever expanding

5. IT can’t afford to be seen as ‘The Department of No’

IT still spends

upwards of

80% just “keeping the

lights on”

75% of IT leaders expect

increased threat levels

Fast IT is the IT operating model for the IoE era.

It is what the CIO needs to do to drive true business transformation.

#FutureOfIT

How can IT spend less on “keeping the lights on” and free up resources to

innovate?

#FutureOfIT

A Fast IT model results in a

20-25% reduction in cost

of ownership

These savings can be reinvested for innovation, doubling what IT spends on

transformation.
