Regardless of where organizations are in their digitaltransformation, CIOs must provide their board of directors, executive committees, and employees definitions of successful outcomes and measurable key performance indicators (KPIs). As a result, outcome-based metrics should be your guide.
The implementation of digitaltransformation has been underway, but moving slowly for over a decade. Manufacturers have been using gateways to work around these legacy silos with IoT platforms to collect and consolidate all operational data. With risks being mitigated, the outcomes will be transformative.
The promise of the smarter city Smart cities offer the promise of a thriving urban ecosystem that seamlessly blends technology, systems, and people to optimize everything from traffic flow to energy consumption. For these cities, fortifying Internet of Things (IoT) sensor and device vulnerabilities to combat cyberthreats is a key concern.
