Re: Germany And IoT
From everything I've read, IoT seems to be a hot topic right now and some surveys but them in front of the US as far as implementing IoT solutions or preliminary steps in that direction.  

In addition to security, other stumbling blocks appear to be the investment needs which are difficult to meet because of high-wage labor costs.

Germany And IoT
Germany is forward-thinking. It's also known for its efficiency, but it's not surprising business decision-makers are approaching the Internet of Things with caution. They are also logical in that they want to lay down a strong groundwork for security before totally getting on board with IoT. I don't think enterprises in the U.S. were that much different too long ago in their feelings about IoT, and for the same reason -- security issues.

Re: IOT with Germany
@clrmoney, Germany is forward-thinking.  This report validates that they need to take a further step forward though.

This is interesting in that they are buying in to the concept of Industrial 4.0 with full use of technology.  IBM has just committed an investment of $200 million in Munich to advance the Industrial 4.0 for manufacturing, healthcare, engineering, etc.  I would think IoT should fit in with that.  If they really embrace the full digital economy I believe that will be a leading economic region with the use of IoT.

Internet of Things has a lot to offer and Germany getting in on this is great but it can be more in the future.

This is quite interesting because Germany is one of  thecountries which is generally considered pretty technologically advanced. . It would be fascinating to see how other countries in the EU compare to Germany on this.  Of course, this is only based on 150 survey responses, though, so actual numbers may vary
