Even as companies become aware of the powerful benefits Internet-of-Things (IoT) data can bring to their organization, the investment costs of deploying new sensors in the field keep IoT initiatives as distant goals for many firms. At the same time, firms are swimming in substantial amounts of “dark data” that are created by operational technology, transactional systems, and other “things” already deployed by the company. An estimated 90% of this data is currently dark, because most of these “things” were not designed to record data in ways that facilitate aggregation with information from other sources. Using relatively low-cost strategies, companies can begin accessing and exploiting this data gold mine today.

通过访问暗数据立即从物联网中受益


尽管公司意识到物联网 (IoT) 数据可以为其组织带来的强大优势，但在现场部署新传感器的投资成本仍然使物联网计划成为许多公司的遥远目标。与此同时，公司正在涌入大量由运营技术、交易系统和公司已经部署的其他“事物”创建的“暗数据”。据估计，这些数据中有 90% 目前是暗数据，因为大多数这些“东西”的设计目的并不是以方便与其他来源的信息进行聚合的方式记录数据。使用相对低成本的策略，公司现在就可以开始访问和开发这个数据金矿。
