IoT adoption challenges

24

IoT is gaining adoption but challenges persist ! Key IoT opportunities varies by industry and application

25Source: the internet of things heat map, 2017 – Forrester report

Major challenges Lack of better understanding of IoT Lack of investment ROI concerns Workflows ( not well defined ) Lack of standardization Interoperability concerns/legacy systems Fear of change Inadequate infrastructure Security and data privacy concerns Non availability of skilled persons Capacity building

26

Key solutions

Raising more awareness ( capacity building program, Training…). Design of IoT curriculum programs. Support startup ecosystem (RDI,... ). Governmental / private sector collaboration. Participate in WG activities. Iteroperability issues (cross-platform, cross-standard

cross-domain IoT services and applications).
