31. The Future Of Service Delivery: Humans, AI And Automation 7/8/2019

    The field service market is growing rapidly, with some estimates projecting it to more than double in size by 2022. At the same time, customer expectations around the speed and quality of service are increasing. In order to keep pace, field service organizations are investing in new tools and systems. Most companies are somewhere on the path to digitization, but they need to do more. Simply wrapping a layer of technology around traditional pen-and-paper processes is no longer enough -- they should be looking to drive efficiency through intelligent automation.

32. Three Ways IoT Is Changing Field Service 7/8/2019

    Smart machines are everywhere -- in our homes, our driveways, even our power grids and assembly lines. The number of connected devices has almost doubled over the last three years, from 15 billion in 2015 to more than 25 billion today. By 2025, that number is expected to eclipse 75 billion.

33. Why IoT Projects Fail: Six Critical Capabilities You Need To Consider 6/27/2019

    Despite the rising and rapid pursuit of IoT by companies across virtually every industry, the complexity of this new world of technology continues to outpace its potential. As organizations attempt to navigate the unforeseen intricacies of the IoT ecosystem, challenges arise and businesses suffer from delayed time-to-market, slowed revenue realization, technology incompatibilities, budget overruns, and even complete project failures.

34. IoT Innovations For Alleviating IT/OT Convergence Challenges 6/27/2019

    Many organizations – especially those in industries such as industrial, healthcare, and fleet, to name a few – rely on two primary technology groups and systems to execute business operations: information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT).

35. eSIM 101: An Introduction To eSIM For IoT 6/27/2019

    Although there have been significant advancements in SIM card technologies, traditional SIMs essentially lock users into a single carrier network and technology, making it highly inefficient and expensive to change carriers or upgrade to new cellular technologies. As a result, an increasing number of IoT providers are seeking eSIM technologies.

36. Build Vs. Buy: Key Questions To Ask To Make The Right IoT Endpoint Decision 6/27/2019
