Many people today wonder whether the Internet of Things (IoT) will have a major impact on businesses. When the Internet began to spread so rapidly in the 1990s, probably very few people could have imagined that it would conquer every corner of our daily lives. At first, this functionality of communication technologies seemed to be limited to the use of computers, which were already starting to become smaller and more portable.
However, as time went by, more and more portable devices were developed, which were also given the name of “smart”, i.e., capable of interacting with their users through the use of the Internet. Today we are talking about the fact that practically everything can be, and will be, connected to the Internet, in continuous communication and permanent feedback. This is what has been called the Internet of Things.
In the broadest sense, the term IoT encompasses everything connected to the internet, but it is increasingly being used to define objects that “talk” to each other. “Simply, the Internet of Things is made up of devices – from simple sensors to smartphones and wearables – connected together,” Matthew Evans, the IoT programme head at techUK, says.

This interconnection brings some possibilities that can be exploited in different sectors of human life, such as health, entertainment, personal relationships and also, inevitably, in businesses: “By combining these connected devices with automated systems, it is possible to “gather information, analyse it and create an action” to help someone with a particular task, or learn from a process. In reality, this ranges from smart mirrors to beacons in shops and beyond” (wired.co.uk)
Business and the internet of things have begun to show that this is a very productive relationship. Having all the devices in an organization connected to each other through internet networks allows information to travel quickly and communication between one person and another, between one activity and another, and between one process and another to be more reliable and secure.
As an example, consider employees returning to the office in hybrid environments. Many employers are realizing that their conference rooms aren’t outfitted with the tools needed for effective collaboration. Integrating additional equipment for remote collaboration can be a significant capital expense for companies, and it requires that employees are trained to use and maintain the equipment.

This example allows us to see that, in general terms, the total interconnection of objects has, as a first advantage, the beginning of digitization and process automation. The fact that devices can be connected via the Internet means that some functionalities can be complemented with those of other tools through these connections.
Moreover, if the devices produce information and data that can be stored, this is also the beginning of another of the advantages of automation, i.e., the monitoring and control of processes to improve the quality of the operation and increase the satisfaction of customers and employees alike.
What makes an IoT program real is solving for a specific business case. From there, the goal is to gain a full 360-degree view of the data you need to make better business decisions. The long-term benefits of IoT will be unique for every company—as will the challenges and complexity. But the future of IoT will be outcome-focused, and having a partner on your journey will help ensure it’s a successful one. (forbes.com)
In businesses, the Internet of Things can generate added value for organizations if they know how to take full advantage of these functionalities. However, as with any automation and digitization process, there needs to be planning and the devices that will be used for this intercommunication must be really useful for business tasks. An automated inventory process can help to first refine the number and type of devices and then interconnect all these functions.
In addition, the coronavirus pandemic has made technology advance by leaps and bounds and to miss the possibilities offered by the devices that we already have in use would be a big mistake for those who are in a business development and continuous growth as an organization.
The vision we have at Dexon Software is to provide the best help to businesses to take advantage of the benefits of the internet of things and process automation. Through Dexon Business Process Management we integrate all software systems, but also all devices in use, so that automation really uses what the company already has and does not have to find more budget for new devices. Our inventory system helps to make smart device management, smart and effective as well.
