Imagine the future is a place where YOU are the IoT superhero creating the next billion dollar business,changing our world, being extraordinary.

A future where your IoT implementations:

• Make it simple to make sense of exabytes of device data

• Allow you to integrate with existing systems with ease

• Are quick to construct and alter with business need

The Watson IoT Platform can help your ideas transform the human experience.

By 2020, there will be 237.1 million wearable devices in the market.3 But IoT is more than wearables and connected consumer products.

More than 80% of spending on the IoT in 2020 will be on B2B apps and use cases.4

With growth fuelled by devices, connectivity solutions and IT services.

More IoT growth

79% of IoT app developers spend at least 25% of their time with analytics or databases.1

The fourth industrial revolution is here

The IoT market will reach

98.8 billion in 2018in manufacturing operations6

The IoT is driving digital disruption of the physical world.

76% of manufacturers will increase the use of smart devices or embedded intelligence in the next 2 yrs.6
