These `smart, connected products,' engirded by vast improvements in processing power and device miniaturization and the benefits of ubiquitous wireless connectivity, have unleashed a new era of Internet of Things (IoT).Much of the early hype about adoptions revolved around new sensors, wearables, and wireless technologies and any such objects where intelligence can be imbedded into, to change the mode of human-object interaction. Bulging out from the four walls of R&D labs, trends like Smart Cities, Connected Cars, Industrial Internet are on the run to improve performance, drive costs and better human lives.At this juncture, we've hit the point where the anticipated paradigm-shift to be induced by IoT becomes a subtle reality. Businesses recognize the importance of IoT and CIOs have already started teaming up new development groups for IoT technologies. On the cusp of becoming mainstream, some companies have even rolled out deployments. This upfront increase also induces transcendence in CIO's role as they take the center stage in helping their line-of-business counterparts cognize how to incorporate IoT into their business technologies.Not as an isolated developing sector but surging as an integral part of a `digital-business', IoT's omniscience is disrupting ways of data interpretation and traditional usage. As a result, this ground breaking exercise of data will incite CIOs to integrate IoT into their business technology agenda, with full capabilities for data management, analytics, security, and enterprise application integration.On the lookout of such stunning usages, we've set our vision to assort 50 most promising IoT solution providers. Hope this will help you in formalizing IoT strategies for your organizations.Please let us know, how you think the IoT will impact the marketplace in 2015.
