The Internet of Things (IoT) Revolution: Opportunities, Challenges, and Innovations in IT Integration

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly evolving technological paradigm that connects devices, sensors, and systems over the internet to exchange data and enhance decision-making processes across various industries. IoT offers unprecedented opportunities for innovation in sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, and smart cities. However, its integration into Information Technology (IT) systems presents a range of challenges, including issues related to security, data management, scalability, and interoperability. This paper examines the opportunities and challenges associated with IoT integration, the innovations driving its development, and its future trajectory. Additionally, it discusses the role of IT in facilitating effective IoT solutions and strategies for overcoming existing obstacles.
