Many businesses are already familiar with the Internet of Things (IoT), the web of devices and objects with built-in, internet-connected sensors that collect and share data. IoT devices can collect information on everything from buildings to vehicles to a wide variety of equipment – from heavy machinery on a construction site to freezers in a grocery store. All this information can help enhance operational efficiency and sustainability, while also providing cost savings.

Thanks to these obvious benefits, IoT adoption continues to expand rapidly. Spending on enterprise IoT is expected to grow by 19% in 2023, and another 27% by 2025. As businesses leverage more IoT in their operations, managing it becomes a bigger and bigger challenge, even as it becomes more and more crucial to success.

Rogers Control Centre can help optimize and scale your IoT solutions

Rogers Control Centre is a cloud-based platform that helps companies launch and manage their IoT solutions. To fully optimize and scale connected services, businesses need to manage device subscriptions, with options to adjust plans based on usage to be more cost effective. Deeply integrated within our network, Rogers Control Centre provides the insight you need to manage your connected devices for maximum efficiency.
