Big data meets the IoT

The IoT is fundamentally transforming industries and reconfiguring the technology landscape, but challenges exist for enterprises to effectively realize the value from this next wave of information and opportunity. Cheryl Wiebe explores how leading companies harness the IoT by putting IoT data in context, fostering collaboration between IT and OT and enabling a new breed of scalable analytics.

The emerging Industrial Internet of Things is giving rise to what is predicted to be a sweeping change that will fundamentally transform industries and reconfigure the technology landscape. Sensor data is expected to dwarf the data volumes that defined the first decade of big data, and leading companies will be those that effectively derive value from this next wave of information and opportunity. Yet, the challenges for enterprises remain formidable. The information required to enable breakthrough insights is typically fragmented within the domains of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT), requiring both technical and cultural changes. Further, organizations are realizing that analytics on sensor data is vastly more diverse and complex than analyzing traditional big datasets like weblogs. Cheryl Wiebe explores how leading companies harness the IoT by putting IoT data in context, fostering collaboration between IT and OT and enabling a new breed of scalable analytics.
