\"Art_300\"In order to truly become a digital business, enabling the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in manufacturing means factoring in people and services, not just things. Enterprises need to take a new approach, a higher level of thinking if you will, to more freely innovate on processes and discover new sources of revenue without boundaries\u2014including IT.<\/p>\n

IDC says the market opportunity for manufacturing will by $913B by 2018. And with 14 billion connected devices, IIoT will represent a $10.6 trillion impact. The potential is out there for manufacturers who choose to disrupt, differentiate, or excel. And the key to this is turning information into action.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s new digital world, the competition is no longer about the best product, but about the best business model, and you can seize that opportunity by building a continuous flow of information through a holistic IIoT implementation. While IIoT is complex by nature, but it doesn\u2019t need to be complicated. Microsoft has developed technologies that help people become more effective in this hyper-productive world.<\/p>\n

In a new on-demand webcast, Enrique Andaluz, Microsoft Industry Director of Strategic Business Development for Worldwide Discrete Manufacturing, shares how\u00a0connecting operations is helping market leaders excel, differentiate, and disrupt their industries.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also learn how Microsoft worked with innovators like Jabil, Rolls-Royce, and ABB to transform their businesses and help them continually improve customer service.<\/p>\n
