A new study conducted by Cisco shows that 60 percent of IoT initiatives stall at the Proof of Concept (PoC) stage and only 26 percent of companies have had an IoT initiative that they considered a complete success. Even worse: a third of all completed projects were not considered a success.

​

 

One of the key reasons cited in the study is that companies who are trying to understand how to implement IoT lack IoT expertise.  That expertise does not live in any one supplier.  Instead, it takes the skills and products from a variety of sources.

​

 

That is why Cisco has taken the initiative to bring together best-in-class suppliers and products who already have a substantial presence in Ford, to create a scalable IoT Platform.
