Enterprises are being ‘deliberate’ in implementing Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, with just 12% of organisations currently in the process of rolling out an IoT solution.
43% of enterprises suggest that the IoT is immediately important to their business, while 46% are currently working with IoT in exploring, experimenting and prototyping the technologies.
The findings, from a Red Hat survey, reveal that 65% are making operations enhancements to start projects, while 51% are working on process optimisation. 86% of respondents said that open source will have a role in their IoT projects.
The survey suggests that enterprise IoT is behind the consumer world in the hype cycle, but it is not because of a lack of interest or understanding benefits of IoT.
Red Hat said it is another symptom of enterprises being thorough with technology buying decisions and actual implementations.
The Red Hat survey, which was carried out by TechValidate, polled opinion of IT decision makers and professionals from several organisations, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to state and local governments.
