Is Your IoT Project Stuck in Pilot Mode?

You’re not alone! 84% of IoT projects stall—for various reasons.
Sources: McKinseyOpens in a new window.

Skill shortages

47% of IoT adopters say they don’t have enough skilled workers, which slows everything down.

Specifically, 37% of manufacturers say they lack the ability to prepare IoT data for analytics, while 33% cite a lack of data science skills.

Difficulty integrating IoT data silos

Rapid IoT adoption is increasing data generation. However, all of this data is not being integrated and optimized for insights, which can lead to productivity and efficiency losses.

Lack of an integrated IoT platform

Only 10% of manufacturing organizations are using a platform to harness and analyze their IoT data. That’s a big reason why all those great insights are still sitting in silos.

Among those that do have a platform, 79% are more satisfied with their commercially leveraged solution versus 60% of those who built their own IoT platform.

Security concerns

32% of organizations say security is a primary concern with connected product deployments. Data breaches and device jackings are the result of a lack of vulnerability management, which you can’t get without the right IoT platform.

Accelerate IoT and Business Transformation

IoT lives in our DNA. In our efforts to discover new possibilities, Lexmark developed the Optra IoT Platform. Initially, it was for our own internal use. However, the results have been significant—even winning an award for outstanding innovation. Today, the platform can help other companies achieve their business transformation goals, too.
“Lexmark has a better handle on what makers of connected devices need because it has moved through the IoT process itself to differentiate from the competition, shift to an ‘AaS’ model, and drive more value out of its own connected products.”
— IDC Analysts Sandra Wendelken and Carrie MacGillivray
