It used to be that, if you were in the product business, your goal was to sell the product, get the transaction done and book the revenue. In part, this was because once the product left your store or warehouse, you had very little visibility into how it was being used. That’s all changing now as IoT technologies become more affordable and available. These technologies now provide an opportunity to monitor the use of the product throughout the lifetime of the product.

Well, what if you offered to charge the customer based on usage of the product, rather than requiring them to make large upfront payments for the product regardless of usage patterns down the road?
.
Here’s an even more intriguing option. What if customers could use IoT technologies not just to monitor usage of the product but also to track the impact that the product has in generating value for them? What if, for example, we could track the impact of a machine on the cycle time of a manufacturing process?

Vendors might even take this one step further and develop insight from the data that would enable them to offer prescriptive advice for the customer. They would not just help customers anticipate certain events, but give them advice on what they should do to enhance the value of the product given these circumstances. Depending on the value created from this advice, these prescriptive services could become a significant additional source of revenue. As these business models evolve, one might even imagine that the “sale” of the product would diminish in importance relative to the revenue generated from data-driven services enabled by the product purchase. In some cases, this could help companies evolve into a trusted advisor business model.
...
IoT technologies also have the potential to help vendors evolve into platform-based business models, where the value to the customer increasingly comes from being connected to a much broader range of more diverse resources."
