Workshops provide step-by-step guidance on developing strategic IoT implementations
PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Implementing Internet of Things (IoT) projects can seem daunting, but it
doesn’t have to be. Beginning this month, a new series of IoT Readiness
Workshops from Avnet (Nasdaq: AVT),
a leading global technology solutions provider, will prepare digital
transformation teams to effectively deploy IoT projects in their
organizations.
Now open for registration, these IoT
Readiness Workshops enable those tasked with implementing IoT
solutions to move from idea to implementation with maximum efficiency
and minimum risk.
Each two-day IoT Readiness Workshop offers presentations, discussions
and exercises to help attendees gain a deeper understanding of IoT from
both a business and technical readiness perspective, and will also share
best practices for integrating IoT into their digital transformation
strategy. In every workshop, the agenda will focus on how to:
-
Develop the appropriate business case to initiate your digital
transformation.
-
Develop a thorough assessment of the organization’s IoT readiness, and
a plan for augmenting the current path to meet targets and goals.
-
Gain stakeholder buy-in. This includes bridging the organizational IT
/ OT divide, achieving C-level support, and identifying and engaging
the right team members for a successful IoT implementation.
-
Learn ways to simplify IoT deployment.
-
Avoid ‘proof of concept purgatory’ that can stall the path to IoT
implementation. By effectively laying out the value and impact to the
organization, the project is more likely to accelerate time to market.
“With the evolving technology landscape and cross-functional
implementation, deploying IoT is often more complex than traditional
design projects,” said Lou Lutostanski, vice president, Internet of
Things, Avnet. “Organizational alignment and a strong business case are
essential for a successful IoT implementation and to achieve the best
business outcome. Through our IoT Readiness Workshops, we’ll provide
those who are leading their digital transformation or IoT initiatives
with the tools, training and guidance to navigate the IoT journey and
effectively reap the rewards of IoT.”
