Predictions on the Future of Wearables and Iot in the Enterprise

IBM Market Development & Insights Leveraging wearables and the Internet of Things to disrupt, transform, and unlock value Predictions on the future of wearables and IoT in the enterprise Albert Opher, Hila Mehr, Andrew Onda, Brendan Cooper © 2017 IBM Corporation Synopsis Across industries, wearable technologies are transforming enterprise performance and enabling innovative business models. As part of the Cognitive Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, and augmented by other Industry 4.0 technologies, these body-worn technologies provide up to four core applications to businesses: real-time monitoring, remote collaboration, personalized perspective, and enhanced ability. Wearables transform enterprises by increasing efficiency, safety, quality, and collaboration; improving productivity; and reducing costs. As the technology and its adoption evolve, head- mounted displays, body-worn sensors, and exoskeletons will improve employee safety and productivity; and retinal devices and adjustable clothing will enhance employee and user experience. Combined with the power of IoT, wearables will disrupt traditional business models, help drive the data economy, and offer new value and insights to enterprises. Changes in differentiated services and revenue models will include shifting from B2B to B2B2C and as- a-service, while offering dynamic demand distribution opportunities. As wearables integrate into control centers in IoT enterprises, they will guide new, efficient business processes, and revenue generating and cost saving monetization opportunities. Wearable technology is already on the agenda of business leaders for its transformational potential—and it’s imperative that your business invests in wearables to stay competitive in the market. As you begin your wearables journey, IBM’s cross-industry experts can partner with you to develop and maximize your IoT strategies and operations with wearables.
