Слайд 1HERE’S HOW COMPANIES
BENEFIT FROM THE INTERNET OF THINGS
in THREE charts
Слайд 2The Internet of Things will bring massive benefits to consumers.
Слайд 3We can connect our cars, homes, wearable devices, etc. to the
Internet to automate processes and track data better.
Слайд 4
But it’s not just consumers who will benefit from the Internet
of Things (IoT).
Слайд 5
There’s a lot at stake for companies too.
Слайд 6A survey by Accenture shows that top-level executives and CEO’s believe
the IoT brings three main benefits for businesses.

Top 3 IoT Benefits for Companies
(in percentage of executives surveyed)
Слайд 8These benefits are more than just a future expectation.
Слайд 9Employee productivity is already increasing thanks to the Internet of Things.
Слайд 10Microsoft’s IoT solutions have helped a stone-cutting business boost productivity by
33%, and revenue by 70%.
Слайд 11And helped a Jeep factory crank out a new truck body
every 77 seconds.
Слайд 12“Productivity is the lifeblood of the Internet of Things (IoT). Our
decades-long goal: above all, to create the services, technologies and tools that transform enterprise productivity.”
- Barb Edson, Microsoft
Слайд 13But the IoT brings much more than employee productivity.
Слайд 14Utilizing company assets (asset optimization) is also a big part of
the Internet of Things.
Слайд 15While “asset optimization” is kind of a boring term, lots of
industries are learning its true value.
Слайд 16Because implementing simple technologies -- like sensors -- can make companies
much more efficient.

Industries Investing in IoT Sensors for
Their Businesses
Слайд 18For example, Verizon placed hundreds of wireless sensors across 24 of
its data centers.
Слайд 19The result has been an electricity decrease of 55 million kWh
annually, and a reduction of 66 million pounds of greenhouse gases each year.
Слайд 20And Intel added predictive maintenance technology to its own factory in
Malaysia, and saved the company $9 million as a result.
Слайд 22All of that asset management leads to the last main benefit:
cost savings.
Слайд 23General Electric uses its Industrial Internet (part of the IoT) software,
Predix, to improve asset management.
Слайд 24The company believes a 1% increase in Industrial Internet efficiency will
equal billions of dollars in saving for companies.
Слайд 26GE says the savings comes from making assets more reliable, longer
lasting, safer, and better performing.
Слайд 27And Cisco agrees. The company says one of the key drivers
of IoT value is cost reductions.
Слайд 28Cisco estimates that $19 trillion will be created from IoT profits
and cost savings over the next decade.
Слайд 29Unfortunately, 73% of companies haven’t made any substantial investment in the
Internet of Things.
Слайд 30Once companies realize the IoT is more than just connected homes
and smartwatches, that’s when the real benefits will begin.
