The Internet of Things is a key innovation accelerator for modern businesses, and presents a significant opportunity for companies which deploy it. However, IoT is an end to end solution, meaning many different technologies and services must be combined together. The vertical specialisation required by most IoT solutions today means that no single company can offer an entire IoT packaged solution, and that customers wanting to take advantage of IoT solutions must tap into an IoT ecosystem – a network of companies which supply the different elements of IoT solutions, from sensors, to connectivity, to devices, to analytics programs.

In this IDC TechTalk podcast, we discuss the key dynamics of the IoT ecosystem, including industry context and examples, and recommendations to vendors on how to tap into this ecosystem for IoT success.
