Internet of Things - is it right for my enterprise?
It is one thing to read about Internet of Things (IoT) and get dazzled by the commercial opportunities it offers based on the stats like the number of connected devises there are in the world today. Or how more and more consumer products are getting connected to the "grid" to enable remote monitoring/ operations.
