Q&A: EPAM Exec On Company's IoT Practice

Where do you see EPAM's IoT program going in business applications in the next two to three years?

We're working with quite a few companies to effectively optimize [such as through] innovations in fleet management, optimization in hard assets, optimization in construction-type use cases, manufacturing, etc.

We hear from others that a lot of the work that is happening today … in the IoT space is primarily focused on operational technology, meaning optimization use cases, [like up to] 90 percent of the work that is being done is on the operational technology side. With consumers, business technology is less of a focus. For us, it's actually about 50-50 [between] business technology-consumer and operational technology.
