IoT has taken hold
What once seemed like
hyperbole, now seems
like understatement.
USD 1.7 trillion
in value added by the IoT to the
global economy in 2019.1
82 percent
of enterprise decision makers say IoT is
strategic or transformative to their enterprise.3

Extabytes of data are generated by the IoT every day.
And we’re only beginning
Think of all we’ve
accomplished using only
12 percent of the data
generated by the IoT.
88 percent
goes unused.4
What will we achieve
as we unlock the rest?

Programmable computing thrives
in prescribed, predictable
scenarios but is too limited for
the complex IoT landscape.
The IoT is a monumental data challenge.
Cognitive computing can keep up.
Cognitive systems aren’t
programmed. They learn from
virtually every interaction and the
surrounding context to unleash
the potential of the IoT.

7. 7
Outthink the competition with cognitive IoT
Cognitive IoT delivers insights once unknowable.
Businesses can benefit in five key areas:
Extending
expertise
Deepening human
engagement
Creating cognitive
processes and
operations
Infusing cognition
into products and
services
Enhancing
exploration and
discovery

8. 8
Harness the power of cognitive IoT
Build your
cognitive
strategy.
Start with a simple,
highly secure and
scalable open
platform designed
for cognitive IoT.
Three things you must get right:
Solve business
problems with
industry-specific
expertise, applications
and solutions.
