    Amidst all the noise about the Internet of Things, decision-makers are often left wondering how they can leverage the power of increased connectivity. The list of potential benefits is long: operational excellence through process optimization, better decision-making, thanks to big data analytics, AI, Machine learning that improved productivity, safety and quality control, and so on. To reap the benefits, businesses will need agile information infrastructures and they will have to tackle some crucial concerns such as security, integration and data ownership. But apart from that, businesses will also need to experiment and build use cases. After all, IoT is not just a technical challenge, but also a question of business model innovation. IoT is fundamentally changing the way we do business. By connecting devices and sensors to the internet, we are entering an age where data analytics, connectivity, and automation are creating innovations and progress which were previously out of reach. As the Industry 4.0 and home automation movements gain more traction, we will see IoT devices and embedded systems becoming more and more prevalent in our daily lives. The businesses that understand the use cases and potential of IoT are the businesses that will likely drive innovation over the next 10 years.
