SAS and the Artificial Intelligence of Things

SAS and the Artificial Intelligence of Things

Organizations in a variety of industries from manufacturing to healthcare have embraced the Internet of Things (IoT). But driving innovation and gaining a competitive advantage require more than just connecting devices and gathering data. Without Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities, IoT devices and the data they produce would have limited value. And AI applications would struggle for relevancy without the massive amount of data that IoT devices create.

The full power and potential of the IoT is unlocked when organizations tap into the data collected and put those insights to use. AI and the IoT are the perfect example of two technologies that complement one other and should forever be linked.

When combined, the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) gives brands the potential to improve operational efficiencies and make real-time decisions that ultimately impact and improve the customer experience — the ultimate goal in digital transformation.

The AIoT is a powerful tool that is slowly gaining popularity, which is why the team at SAS, a leader in analytics technology, put together a helpful guide — SAS and the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) — to offer a better understanding of this technology.

When you browse this resource, you’ll learn the basics of the AIoT and some interesting facts and figures about the technology that can help you gain a competitive edge. You’ll also learn:

  • Expert predictions about the profitability of projects that involve the AIoT
  • How companies can use the AIoT to improve their services including real-world use cases
  • How AI and IoT work together to accelerate digital transformation
  • Other technologies that are benefiting from the AIoT
  • The unique SAS perspective on the AIoT

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
