The Internet of Things-Transforming Enterprises and Products
About the Event
The Internet of Things (IoT) will result in profound changes in the way enterprises operate and the products they produce and consume. Although machine-to-machine applications have existed for quite a while, these applications were closed, highly specialized and expensive. IoT opens up inexpensive connectivity to any device and couples this with the power of the cloud and big data analytics to enable enterprises to reduce costs, optimize resources, create new products, and explore new business models. The economic impact of IoT has been variously estimated as between $14.4 and $19 trillion, and inevitably this will create unprecedented opportunity for entrepreneurs, be they in software, hardware or services. In this session, we will explore some of the ways that IoT will transform enterprises and their products in segments such as transportation, retail, agriculture, health care, government and more. We will also explore some of the types of enterprise ecosystems that may form to support the creation and deployment of IoT solutions.
