D&H Points the Way to 5 Hot Opportunities in SMB Technology

Robust sales of everything from wearable devices to web-enabled thermostats drove Internet of Things revenue up 77 percent this year for D&H. Very few of those sales involved commercial buyers, however.

“It’s primarily a consumer business today,” says D&H co-president Dan Schwab, who expects that to remain true next year as well. Don’t be surprised though, he adds, if many of the same IoT technologies home users are so avidly snapping up establish a toehold in the workplace as well.

“We’re hoping as we move into 2017 that some of those products make their way into businesses,” Schwab says.
