SMART SERVICES
Data from remote devices can be used to improve the business of all companies within the supply chain. Companies need a new way of thinking to exploit this in a way that grows revenues with a fundamental shift from a traditional product-based sell to that of service.
A company which owns the information, now owns an asset where related services can be derived and made available to others within their value chain. This provides the opportunity to derive revenues from the products life-cycle, and elements of the device environment, where the products are part of a wider system.
