Session Abstract:
As various industries embark on IoT initiatives, successful companies have discovered the necessity of integrating connectivity end-to-end (device to cloud) rather than as an adjunct capability. They view connectivity as an integral part of the data journey and manage both through business-driven policy. Join Oracle to learn how use cases in industries like construction ― with connected workers, devices, buildings, and logistics ― demonstrate the benefits of pervasive connectivity.
