## Summary

Eric Conn, Co-Founder and CEO of Leverege, and Ken Briodagh, Editorial Director of IoT For All, discuss the evolution of the IoT ecosystem and the company's strategy for helping non-technology enterprises adopt IoT. Conn explains Leverege's 'Jumpstart' productized service and its role as a systems integrator to help clients cross the 'IoT chasm' from pilot to scale, citing a specific case study with Mannheim Auto Auctions and Cox 2M. The conversation covers critical buyer considerations such as security, openness, and various engagement models, including turnkey solutions versus platform-as-a-service, while predicting that 2021 will see accelerated digital transformation driven by the pandemic and the convergence of AI and IoT (AIoT).
