Capitalising on IoT in 2019

Organisations across ANZ are looking to capitalise on the IoT opportunity but some are citing challenges associated with security and data analytics.

According to IDC’s 2018-19 Global IoT Decision Maker Survey, the challenge lies in drawing meaningful insights from data and securing IoT at the application, endpoint and data level.

“In order to realise the full benefits of digital transformation, the challenges around security and data intelligence must be addressed,” says Nick Verykios, Managing Director for Arrow ECS ANZ (Arrow).
