Triggering events can signal an IoT opportunity. Which two options are examples of triggering events that are caused by an upgrade? (Choose 2)

Question

Options

• AA restaurant wishes to hire new staff.
• BA driller purchases new equipment.
• CA city wants to rename its parks.
• DA company commits to increasing operational capacity.

• A
  10% (3)
• B
  74% (23)
• C
  16% (5)

Explanation

B and D are correct because both represent upgrades - improvements or expansions to existing capabilities that naturally open the door for IoT integration. Purchasing new equipment (B) is a direct hardware upgrade, making it the ideal moment to embed IoT sensors and connectivity. Committing to increased operational capacity (D) is a scale upgrade, where IoT solutions help manage and optimize that expanded output efficiently.

A is wrong because hiring staff is an HR decision, not a system or infrastructure upgrade - it doesn't signal a need for connected technology. C is wrong because renaming parks is purely administrative and cosmetic, with no change in physical or operational infrastructure to trigger an IoT opportunity.

Memory tip: Link "upgrade" to things that change in size, power, or capability - new gear or bigger operations both scream "we need smarter systems." If a choice is about people or names, it's not an upgrade.
