Jul 30, 2021 While it seems like every second conversation over the past year has been about technology enabling remote working, this has not slowed companies’ interest – and investment – into tech like the Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Unfortunately, too many businesses are not realising the value from these investments, says Richard Firth, CEO of MIP Holdings. “This is partly because these emerging technologies are part of a long-term strategy and are only expected to start impacting on the financials further down the line, and partly because a lot more work needs to happen before they can start delivering on their promises. AI is a perfect example. In the rush to AI, many companies have neglected to put the right foundation in place,” he points out.
