Driving Business Value with the Internet of ThingsGlobal enterprises across industries worldwide are exploring how to create business value with the Internet of Things (IoT). The impact of IoT is profound, with trillions of dollars of economic value to be created through the application of IoT systems and solutions over the next decade. Important technology trends such as falling sensor costs, pervasive Big Data platforms, open APIs, and lower connectivity costs are ushering in a new era of system engineering that will connect spaces, objects, and people everywhere.

To realize maximum value from IoT, business leaders should begin transforming their organizations based on key learnings from use cases across connected automobiles, smart manufacturing, intelligent energy and smart grid, connected aviation, precision agriculture, and more.

Internet of Things DefinedThe Internet of Things is the network of physical “things” (spaces, objects, people, and more) that are connected to the Internet. Although modern IoT technologies have historical context stemming from the machine-to-machine (M2M) environments of the last decade, new technologies and industry trends have turned it from a phenomenon constrained to manufacturing and industrial settings to a trend impacting global enterprise and consumer experiences everywhere. Estimates of the number of connected “things” in the coming decade range from 50 billion to over 200 billion. Regardless of what the future holds, IoT is here today and enabling enterprises everywhere to create new and exciting business value.

Although today most consumers are aware of IoT in the context of things such as smart homes and wearables, the reality is that the most immediate opportunity to apply IoT is within enterprise companies across industries such as agriculture, automotive, aviation, energy, logistics, retail, telecommunications, and more.

Introduction



Emergence of Big Data PlatformsIn addition to large companies such as IBM, Microsoft, and Amazon investing in Big Data platforms, new Big Data software vendors have emerged, such as Hortonworks and Cloudera. Additionally, we’re witnessing an ongoing evolution of innovation in the open-source community around technologies such as MapReduce, HDFS, and Hadoop. With more platform choices, it’s easier to find the one that fits your needs.

Decreasing Connectivity CostsThe cost of transmitting data – whether over wireless, cellular, or traditional wired networks – is decreasing, making it less expensive to acquire and transmit large volumes of enterprise data. The cost of connectivity should no longer stop you from deploying IP connections to virtually all your corporate assets and building your enterprise IoT systems.

IoT: Enabled by Industry Innovation

The growth of the IoT industry is enabled by a number of important changes in the technology landscape in recent years, including the factors listed below.

New IoT PlatformsIn addition to Big Data platforms, companies of all sizes are now creating IoT platforms to help companies manage and monitor their connected systems. From larger companies like Cisco, Microsoft, and Amazon to a wide array of start-ups, industry investments are being made to create software platforms that are tuned to the needs of IoT systems.



Standards MomentumThe effort to develop standards for IoT is well underway. AllSeen Alliance, Thread Group, Open Interconnect Consortium, Industrial Internet Consortium, and other groups are working with large and small companies alike and helping ensure that all the applications and devices in your IoT solution will be able to connect across systems quickly and easily.

Falling Sensor CostsNew sensor platforms such as Rasberry Pi, Arduino, Intel Edison, and other start-up companies are entering the market. These companies are releasing inexpensive, powerful sensors that allow everything on the network edge to be connected to the Internet. With decreasing sensor costs, it becomes easier and easier to connect all your enterprise assets.

APIs EverywhereThe emergence of API standards and platforms like Mashery, Apigee, Akana, and others make virtually all data access easy for developers. Enterprises today can expose data across their IoT systems to integrate them into other enterprise processes. This means you can spend less time worrying about data access and more time focused on data insight.
