QUOTE OF THE DAY
"In South Africa, the appetite for IOT is growing, and many businesses have established a transformation charter. Yet the adoption of IOT is still fairly slow because stakeholders aren't clear on the outcomes of their digital transformation plan."
I wouldn't say Africa is behind because we are on a journey globally. Even if you take the western world, IoT, big data and analytics are things they are all aspiring to - and leveraging of - they are also on a journey. But if you look at Africa, specifically the power and mining industries have made the most significant inroads into the digital industrial world
