Business Outcomes
We are experts in generating value at the interface of technology and business. Business value is always our North Star. Technology is a critical enabler of value creation but it is only a set of tools, not an end in itself. And technical solutions must be supported by complementary business processes to achieve results.
  • Direct commercial benefits
  • Digital product is sold for a specific price
  • Digital product directly reduces cost (e.g. replacing a formerly manual process)
  • Indirect, but quantifiable
    commercial benefits
  • Digital products can have effects on multiple elements of the core value chain
  • Benefits can mostly be quantified
  • Goodwill-type, less quantifiable benefits

Our Story.

IoT ONE delivers research and training services globally with unique strategy development and implementation capabilities in Asia.

IoT ONE was founded in 2015 by three entrepreneurs who share a passion for tracking the development of digital technologies and their impact on our world. The first Internet wave disrupted retail, media, and finance. Traditional market leaders declined and new leaders emerged. The second Internet wave is now impacting how products and operations create value. It will impact every company that builds or operates physical infrastructure, assets, and devices. We are dedicated to the challenge of helping companies navigate this generational transformation.
