THE INTERNET OF THINGS WAS “BORN” BETWEEN 2008 & 2009

Page 3: The Internet of Things requires a Services complement: How can you close the IoT gap?

The dilemma:

Whether you’re the “thing

maker” or the “thing seller,”

is that the “thing” will work

well in isolation, but it will be

negatively affected by the environment in which it’s

operating.

This creates not only a

negative brand experience,

but also an increase in “no

fault found” product returns.
