Key Findings & Highlights:
Infosys has been active in M2M since 1998, but the company's move into IoT-centric digital transformation has been a more recent one. The earliest true transformational work in this segment began in 2014 with the designation of the IoT Practice as a separate horizontal business unit.
2016 saw Infosys collaborate on its Industry 4.0 Maturity Model along with Germany's Aachen University and expand into the automotive sector with connected vehicle initiatives. The following year, what had been a large manufacturing-centric operation began expanding into mining and utilities. In 2018, that expansion has continued, with new clients in the pharma and energy sectors.
The pace of transformational IoT work has accelerated considerably for Infosys in the past two years, and the company has completed ~50 consulting projects in this area in the last eighteen months alone.
Overall digital transformation revenue accounts for ~28% of the company's total revenue of $11.3bn; within that figure, the amount that can be directly attributed to IoT-centric digital transformation is approximately $150mn.
