Many large science projects around the world have been pushed behind schedule and overbudget by pandemic-related delays, supply chain issues, and, now, the worst inflation in 40 years.
Atop Cerro Pachón, a 2715-meter peak in the Chilean Andes, astronomers are building an extraordinary movie camera. With its 8-meter telescope and giant 3.2-gigapixel camera, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will scan the southern sky once every 3 days, pinpointing billions of galaxies, searching for supernova explosions, and tracking changes in the heavens. In early 2020, workers were on track to complete the $483 million telescope by last month.
The Rubin observatory is only one of many large science projects around the world that have been pushed behind schedule and overbudget by pandemic-related delays, supply chain issues, and, now, the worst inflation in 40 years. Scientists build a major project using the same process engineers employ to build a bridge, developing a detailed cost and schedule known as a performance baseline that guides every step of construction. That baseline is nearly sacrosanct.
The pandemic pushed most projects behind schedule. Physicists at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are building a 750-meter-long superconducting linear accelerator to power a new x-ray laser called the Linac Coherent Light Source-II. They were just installing the accelerator when COVID-19 struck and, on 19 March 2020, the state of California issued a shelter in place order that halted work for 3 months.

It’s Time for a New IoT Strategy to Drive New Business OpportunitiesTechnology innovations that drive future IoT capabilities How will the market for IoT products and services evolve What are the four key components of a winning IoT strategy Return to this web page to watch the webinar. Contact us at gartnerwebinarsgartner.com with questions about registering or watching. EDT: 10:00 a.m. | BST: 15:00 IoT technology and markets continue to evolve rapidly. Firstly, technology innovation continues at a high rate in areas such as endpoints and sensors, wireless networks such as 5G, edge architectures and AI. Secondly, the IoT market remains complex and fragmented with more verticalization and many vendors seeking new roles and offerings. Commercial opportunities involving monetising data are challenged by weak semantic standards and ownership issues. Thirdly, risks such as cybersecurity will increase, and IoT is becoming subject to more regulations, guidelines, and certifications. But the opportunities will greatly outweigh the challenges, and the rapidly growing capabilities of IoT are driving digital transformation in a wide range of industries. In this free webinar, we’ll explore why the changing face of IoT demands a new IoT strategy, and you’ll discover the four key components of a winning strategy.
