The Internet of Everything (IoT) coupled with the growth of software platforms for analytics & automation is accelerating digital transformation.  IoT requires connected data and analytics where systems and people can aggregate data virtually from everywhere and analyze anywhere for real-time insights.  Connected processes are needed to integrate and automate systems, services (i.e., web, SOA and micro) and processes within the organization and across the ecosystem.  People must be engaged in context to enable informed and timely action, connected experiences. IoT is at the heart of the next era of computing and digitial transformation all of which drives new business outcomes in manufacturing, retail, financial services, healthcare, energy and in most if not all industries.  Today the business environment is hyper distributed and often unconnected.  Small centers of data emerge across the business environment evolving how systems, services and processes are integrated. A new approach is required in this next era:  the Internet of Things, computing at the edge, programability of everything, secure process and service orchestration supporting new B2B and B2C interactions across growing ecosystem of partners.  This new world of IoT, the next era of computing, requires It requires a programmable infrastructure with policy-based and programmatic access to any asset (physical or digital) and last but not least, it requires application integration across hybrid computing environments. This talk – specially created for IoT Slam Internet of Things Conference, will explore the networked connection of people, processes, data, services and things; the enablers and drivers of IoT and how companies can respond.
