The Internet of Things is about to go mainstream

A 'universal acceptance' amongst organisations about the importance of the Internet of Things (IoT) is pushing the technology towards mainstream adoption, newly released figures from analyst Gartner have claimed. According to the firm's recent survey, Early Adopters of Internet of Things Poised to Make 2016 the Year of the Customer, the number of businesses planning to adopt some sort of IoT strategy is set to grow by 50 percent this year, a figure which would bring the overall total of businesses with some sort of IoT deployment to 43 percent.
