IoT focuses on gaining new insights from analytics based on data from diverse sources to support decision making, and improve and create entirely new products and services. There is a wide range of software platforms available, intended to reduce cost and development time for IoT solutions by offering standardised components that can be shared across many industry verticals to integrate devices, networks and applications.

3. Abstract
The world of machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is gradually moving from vertical,
single purpose solutions to multi-purpose and collaborative applications interacting across
industry verticals, organisations and people - the Internet of Things (IoT). The use of the new
term IoT suggests a transition in the evolution of connected devices, with accelerating scale
and scope, as well as higher focus on interoperability. M2M often signifies customised
solutions deployed within single industry verticals or by one company to improve existing
business operations. IoT puts more emphasis on integration of sensors, devices and
information systems across industry verticals and organisations to transform operations and
enable new business models. IoT focuses on gaining new insights from analytics based on data
from diverse sources to support decision making, and improve and create entirely new
products and services. There is a wide range of software platforms available, intended to
reduce cost and development time for IoT solutions by offering standardised components that
can be shared across many industry verticals to integrate devices, networks and applications.
These third party IoT platforms are relatively new in the market and display a great diversity in
terms of functionality. Broadly speaking, most IoT platforms fall into one of the following three
categories: connectivity management platforms, device management platforms and
application enablement platforms. Berg Insight estimates that total revenues for third party
IoT platforms will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.8 percent from 610
million in 2015 to 3,050 million in 2021. This growth is driven by an increase in the number of
companies adopting third party platforms for a growing number of projects that gradually
expand from pilots and initial rollouts to full deployments. Over time, many companies will
also migrate existing proprietary M2M/IoT solutions to third party platforms.
