Three important insights about how the IoT will transform industries
and drive demand for new solutions and services
1. IoT data is the new currency: Data acquired
through Internet of Things (IoT) can and will be
used by third parties, requiring a new kind of IoT
business: the data broker
2. Today’s small IoT projects pave the way for
future transformation: The increasing
availability of low-cost, intelligent sensors and
devices, networks and gateways has enabled a
new path to IoT: small IoT projects, a relatively
inexpensive approach to IoT with specific goals
and planned rapid ROI
3. IoT drives business integration opportunities
by marrying IT & OT. Business integration
occurs when IoT vendors, business leaders and
technologists team to drive a new outcome,
creating solutions that coordinate customers’
business needs, their operational technologies
(OT) and IT
6 HorizonWatch Trend Report: Internet of Things (External Version)
“While large transformative Internet of
Things (IoT) projects grab headlines, an
increasing number of IoT projects are
smaller in scale, less expensive and less
risky.” TBR: 2016 Internet of Things Predictions

“Ultimately the goal of IoT connections is
the data, and the IoT data and analytics
market is set to grow the fastest of any of
the major IoT revenue categories.” ABI
Research
“IoT is as effective as the sum of its parts.
Mere connections create data; however,
this does not become information until it is
gathered, analyzed and understood. The
analytics back-end systems of the IoT will
therefore form the backbone of its long-
term success.” Juniper Research

be connected to other machines, systems and people..
These smart grid sensors will collect and create large
volumes of data that enable utilities to improve utility
operations and customer engagement
 Smart meters: Smart meters to monitor power, gas and
water consumption in real time. These smart meters will
provide a wealth of information that can help utilities and
their consumers in many ways – from allowing fully
automated billing based on time of use or network status
(e.g., with prices rising and falling according to peak and
trough usage) to enabling meter-to-appliance
communications to help change consumer energy
behavior.
 Asset monitoring and maintenance: Using drones, small
robots, embedded cameras and other IoT sensor devices,
utility operators can better understand the condition of the
