OEMs: Time for a connectivity management sourcing strategy refresh?
In this Viewpoint, we discuss the impact that the transition from classic subscriber identity module (SIM) cards to embedded SIM (eSIM) cards will have on the Internet of Things (IoT) value chain. The eSIM is changing the roles of a variety of players in the IoT ecosystem. With the cellular IoT landscape at an inflection point, we believe IoT OEMs should rethink their connectivity management sourcing strategies to offer more competitive value propositions.

RETHINKING PRODUCT CONNECTIVITY
Telecommunications, Information technology, Media & Electronics (TIME)
Rethinking product connectivity
In a data-driven world, product manufacturers have a stark choice – either digitize to become more flexible and customer-centric or be sidelined by nimbler competitors. They need to embrace the transformative opportunities that data and the Internet of Things bring to add value to their offerings and change their business models. All businesses understand the vital importance of collecting, analyzing, and acting on data to enable: New business models, such as offering as-a-service or outcome-based pricing, and entering the Industrial Metaverse

Excelling in a software-driven future
Excelling in a software-driven future
Agron Lasku, Michael Kolk, Martin Glaumann, Michael Papadopoulos
Software is rapidly becoming a critical asset as industries converge and perception of value shifts from hardware to software. Surgeons, for instance, can perform lifesaving surgeries via virtual reality (VR). But such a revolutionary procedure demands zero risk for error or downtime in connectivity, leading to new network requirements. Retail and commerce has also conjoined with computing, logistics, and finance for seamless online shopping.

Seizing the IoT opportunity in the 5G era
Agron Lasku, Sean McDevitt, Hariprasad Pichai, Lars Lind, Rebecka Axelsson Wadman
In light of accelerated industrial digitalization, there is a consensus that the IoT market has significant, yet untapped, potential. This potential seems more reachable with the arrival of 5G capabilities such as vastly improved speeds and reduced latency, all of which are poised to accelerate the adoption of IoT solutions across industry sectors. Over the next few months, Arthur D. Little will publish a series of viewpoints with insights on how to capture and scale this opportunity.
