Abstract

The Internet of things (IoT) has become one of the most significant topics in information systems (IS) industry yet; it still faces certain complications in its implementation process. The estimation of unsuccessful implementations are up to 60% Cisco (2017). Unsuccessful implementation could be due to many issues such as human resources, collaboration between information technology function (IT) and other business functions, cultural issues within organizations, etc... However, these issues are overcome with an appropriate IS strategy Arora et al. (2017). Although efforts were exerted to understand the factors of successful adoption of IoT, less efforts have been directed towards understanding these factors from an information systems strategy point of view. This study aims to identify the most important driving factors in an information systems strategy leading to successful implementation of IoT. A preliminary framework presenting the 10 IS driving factors leading to successful implementation of IoT is deduced from the literature. The developed framework is tested in two case studies within leading real estate developers who have successfully implemented IoT in various functions. Face to face semi structured interviews were administered and the results revealed that six main factors and nine sub factors were required to guide the IS strategy to successful adoption of IoT projects within an organizational context.
