Is the so-called ‘Internet of Things’ the most over-hyped topic in information technology today?

It is certainly up there near the top, claims Beecham Research, an internationally recognized thought leader in IoT market development. Beecham researchers are warning companies planning to get into the Internet of Things (IoT) market “not to believe all the hype and over optimistic predictions.”

There is no doubt that the M2M and IoT markets are moving quickly and there are great new business opportunities, but with unrealistic predictions around the growth of connected devices, there is also the risk that companies will run out of time and money before they see a return on their investment.

How quickly this happens depends on the sector, the size of the enterprise and the expected benefits. The implementation phase usually involves business process change within the enterprise, and therefore organizational changes have to be implemented.
