On Thursday, Shares of SAP SE (ADR) (NYSE:SAP), gained 1.41% to $65.98.
Most companies see the Internet of Things (IoT) as a means for operational efficiency, yet many have not tapped into the potential for IoT solutions to transform their business models, according to a recent study conducted by Forrester Consulting and commissioned by SAP SE (SAP). The study, entitled, “The Internet of Things Has the Potential to Connect and Transform Businesses,” evaluated the capacity for enterprises empowered with IoT solutions to achieve efficiency in their processes, deliver raised value to customers and create new business models. It found that even early adopters have only scratched the surface of IoT benefits in current use cases.
IoT solutions and applications are gaining momentum. Eighty-three percent of survey respondents rated “improve the experience of our customers” as critical or high precedingity, and 71 percent of companies noted that improving the use of data and analytics to make better business decisions and outcomes was a critical/high precedingity in the next 12 months. In addition, more than two-thirds of companies surveyed believe their use of IoT will make these imperatives easier to address.
Yet, as companies create IoT roadmaps, implementing relevant solutions can bring up new and unfamiliar challenges as operational systems get connected to business systems across organizational boundaries. Furthermore, most organizations have not yet defined clear ownership of the IoT life cycle, with survey respondents reporting IoT fragmentation among three or more executive sponsors at 75 percent of the companies surveyed.
SAP SE provides application and analytics software and software-related services for enterprises worldwide. The company offers solutions covering various lines of businesses, counting asset administration, commerce, finance, human resources, manufacturing, marketing, sales, service, sourcing and procurement, supply chain, and sustainability, in addition to research and development, and engineering.
