Why Smart, Connected Devices Are
Transforming Businesses
Introduction
Smart, connected devices are completely changing the game.
The evolution of products into intelligent, connected devices, which are increasingly embedded in broader
systems, is radically reshaping companies and competition. This is forcing companies to redefine their
industries and rethink nearly everything they do, beginning with their strategies.
Companies will need new types of relationships with customers. They will need new product capabilities,
infrastructure, and processes; entirely new structures, functions, and new forms of cross-functional
collaboration.
In this webinar, we discuss how smart, connected products are impacting business strategies and
transforming the entire value chain.

flexible IoT platform

are relatively easy to change
