AUSTIN, Texas — A recent report shows that 64% of Internet of Things (IoT) decision makers at enterprises prefer an off-the-shelf IoT solution over a custom offering.
The report by Oracle, “5 Best Practices of Leading IoT Adopters,” indicates that enterprise adopters of IoT are “increasing demand for an easy route to IoT capabilities that provides faster time to value,” according to Oracle in November.
The report shows 75% of respondents want connectivity to be “baked-in” or bundled by the solution provider, and 70% want providers to include data and analytics tools as part of a comprehensive solution.
“Custom solutions are introducing increasing levels of cost and complexity to the deployment of IoT solutions, with enterprises now seeking the fastest path to value in the form of ready-made IoT solutions with connectivity and analytics capabilities built in,” said Andrew Morawski, senior VP and GM, Oracle Communications, Networks.
“5G is critical to establishing this next generation of IoT, especially when deployed as truly cloud-native, leveraging all of the benefits of cloud technology.”
The “5 Best Practices of Leading IoT Adopters” report is based on a survey by Oracle, conducted with Transforma Insights.
The survey polled 800 respondents who held a recommender or decision-maker role for deploying IoT.
Responding organizations had all implemented, or were in the process of implementing, an IoT project supporting a key initiative.
Respondents worked at a company with at least 500 employees (1,000 in the U.S.) and in several countries: Australia, France, Germany, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, the ƒnetwrU.K., and the U.S.
