Why Metrics Matter to the Channel Cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data analytics will emerge as the dominant, business-changing innovations for the tech industry over the next several years, according to the findings of a recent survey from KPMG of more than 830 global tech industry executives. The report, titled "The Changing Landscape of Disruptive Technologies: 2015 Global Technology Innovation Survey," reveals that the U.S. will lead the way in developing breakthrough global tech advancements, much to the benefit of the retail, energy and other industries. The study reveals that digital currencies could very well change the face of the international financial sector, but only if companies can adequately safeguard the currencies' systems from hackers. IoT brings a special sense of intrigue to the discussion, as well, given its potential to vastly increase productivity for customers while helping them innovate faster.
