Abstract

This IDC study provides our global IoT team's assessment of the continued maturation of the Internet of Things and the issues that you and your organization should consider in the short term and longer term as you enter 2018.

"The Internet of Things is moving from proof of concept to reality with customers in leading industries now taking advantage of skills and products being brought together by IT services and technology companies," says Vernon Turner, senior vice president of Enterprise Systems and IDC Fellow for the Internet of Things. "Our global IoT team has also thoughtfully looked at adjacent technologies to IoT that will shape this market within the next three years — these include 5G, blockchain, IoT platforms, and analytics."
