Beyond pilot purgatory: Creating IoT programs that scale

We’ve identified the key levers that help some IoT initiatives deliver genuine value while others remain stuck in a niche.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a growing force that promises new efficiencies, products — and profits. But for many organizations, there is a familiar scenario where IoT is concerned.
