Improving Solution Architecture of Internet of Things to Support a Successful Implementation of Digital Transformation in the Context of 2030 Vision of Saudi Arabia

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is an information exchange system between computing devices and people over a network. Because IoT is new to Saudi Arabia (SA), no business model in the public sector provides it, making it difficult to adopt. The results of 55 studies show that one challenge for adopting IoT in SA is a lack of a consistency in designing a dynamic solutions architecture to coordinate the required support to integrate IoT into the SA digital transformation plan. Another challenge is a lack of government standards. This study summarizes the problems that researchers and developers face in managing IoT activities for a dynamic solutions architecture for Saudi Vision 2030. It explores how to define a dynamic solutions architecture for any IT platform, based on design, implementation, experimental validation, and evaluation of the effects on system quality. To begin, this study provides an overview of IoT and details to enable IoT technologies for public and private sectors to help achieve Saudi Vision 2030.
