New Service-provider and Business-model Disruption in the IIoT
conditions, the trial highlights the value of open standards to enable IIoT applications that span
multiple organizational boundaries.
Beyond the very real challenges of enabling multiple IIoT applications, oneTRANSPORT illustrates
the disruptive potential of open, horizontal IIoT platforms. In particular, Data-as-a-Service and
data-marketplace concepts allow public- and private-sector organizations to create new services
and generate incremental revenues from their assets. These innovations also encourage newentrant businesses to provide data-management services and to foster differential pricing
models for data.
Over time, oneTRANSPORT will develop into a federated platform for multiple public- and
private-sector organizations. Its standards based framework will foster IIoT collaboration in a
commercially sustainable and geographically-scalable manner.
The evolution of oneTRANSPORT’s phased deployment plan progresses from enabling a single
user-entity to multiple cooperating entities and eventually to multiple use-cases on a shared
platform. This journey is one that many enterprise users will copy once they deploy their own
IIoT applications and progressively become involved in cross-silo and partnering application
opportunities.
