## Summary

Ken Corless, CTO of Deloitte's cloud practice, and Robert Schmid, Chief Futurist and IoT practice leader at Deloitte, discuss strategies for scaling IoT solutions in enterprise environments. They address the challenge of 'pilot purgatory,' emphasizing the need to prove business value and integrate with legacy ERP systems rather than just proving technology. The guests advocate for a hybrid cloud and edge computing architecture to handle latency, bandwidth, and resilience, particularly for mission-critical applications like surgical robots and autonomous vehicles. They conclude by highlighting the importance of starting small with a portfolio of ideas and leveraging partnerships to navigate the complexity of IoT deployment.
