2.0 Analysis and Findings
This part of the research includes the various analysis and findings relates to the
computing concept of IoT used in the organization. The different type of challenges and
issues arise in the several process of IoT. The IoT concept has several issues of
confidentiality in data. The overall analysis and findings are discussed below-
2.1 Overview of technology
The IoT process is very beneficial in the business organization. This system is used to
attain deeper automation, analysis and integration of the system. The various process like sensor,
networking and robotics are included in the process of the IoT (Lee and Lee, 2015). This system
has several advanced features that increase the overall security and privacy in the organization.
IoT develops recent exploits various aspects like software, hardware prices and modern attitudes
towards technology. This gives a great impact on organizational activities and creates several
changes in the organization. The several features related to the IoT are included in the overall
process of the organization (Borgohain, et al., 2015). The artificial intelligence, connectivity,
sensors and networks are included in this process of the integrated system. Several active
engagement and small devices are used in this process. This technology process includes several
advantages like it improve customer engagement, technology optimization, increased data
collection, decreases the wastage and many more.
2.1.1 Relevant applications of IoT
The IoT relates to several and applications. These process and applications are related to
the IoT. This is one of the essential processes that relate to the proper connectivity and makes a
proper network in the organization. The IoT includes several applications that create many
processes in the organization (Sadeghi, et al., 2015). All these applications are closely related to
the process of IoT. These applications are very beneficial for the various field of the
environment. The technologies are responsible to improve the overall process and manage the
