The document discusses the challenges that organizations face in taking advantage of the Internet of Things (IoT). It finds that while the potential value of the IoT is estimated to be in the trillions of dollars, most organizations currently offer only basic IoT solutions and are not monetizing their solutions. The main barriers preventing organizations from further developing their IoT capabilities are a lack of necessary IT infrastructure to manage large volumes of sensor data, a shortage of skills like data analytics and customer support, and resistance within organizations to the new service-oriented business models required by the IoT.
