A recent press release states, “Enterprise Management Associates (EMA™), a leading IT and data management research and consulting firm, has released a new research report titled “The Rise of the Internet of Things: Connecting Our World One Device at a Time,” based on criteria defined by John Myers, managing research director of business intelligence and data warehousing at EMA, and Lyndsay Wise, research director of business intelligence at EMA. IoT is a growing concept in terms of exposure and implementation. There are new estimates for the number of linked devices almost every quarter. Some of these estimates go as far as to say that within five years, there will be nearly 40 billion connected devices around the globe. With this growth in the number of connected devices, there is a wave of adoption to take advantage of these devices.”

The release continues, “This new research report provides in-depth insight into the recent EMA global end-user study on the Internet of Things by examining different aspects of IoT, including strategies, implementations, and projects. Based on a panel of 250 IT and business professionals, the research extracted knowledge from decision makers with visibility into strategy, budget, and implementation associated with their organization’s IoT initiatives. Overall, the panelists provided information on over 700 different projects that implemented the strategies from IoT initiatives. Moreover, the research also explored key industry segments like healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and transportation. Each of these segments provides a unique opportunity to utilize IoT architectures and IoT devices to add value into its respective organization.”
