Connectivity, Industry and the Internet

This todaynote entry is about a forrester.com post entitled “The Next Decade Will Be About The Industrial Internet.” The post makes an interesting point about the evolution of the “internet of things” and how it may drive the character of connectivity in the coming years. The post is based on remarks by William Ruh, CEO of GE’s Digital arm, made the Mobile World Congress, 2016.

The post, by Dan Bieler at Forrester, discusses key opportunities for companies to benefit from digitization. Among these are: improving productivity with better technology, improving the efficiency of technology using stronger analytical capabilities, and offering a better customer experience derived from value-adds associated with emerging digital technologies.

Ruh summed it up with this quote: “The industrial companies that can bring together cloud, open source, and real-time process management with industrial product cycles will be the ones that will win in the digital transformation process.”

This is an informative post, and worth the minute it will take to read.
