Abstract: Abstract IoT implementation depends on a good extend on human and technological resources availability and cultural aspects and priorities of the organizations. According to their state, the different factors can be enablers or inhibitors of IoT implementation. Since IoT implementation is a case of digitalization, main elements of digitalization and most typical enablers and inhibitors are presented. Based on scientific and professional literature, the specific enablers and inhibitors of IoT are presented. They involve technological enablers (ability to provide power to the devices, connectivity, communication capability between elements and data handling capacity), strategic enablers (IoT adoption as a strategic element, formulation of a global architecture of IoT), organizational enablers (digital talent and skills and digital culture), organizational barriers (need for standardization, security risks, privacy restrictions, cost and regulatory issues), and cultural barriers (perception of complexity and lack of trust).
