The presentation will describe the Internet of Everything technology transition, where people, process, data and things are coming together to unleash 14,4 Trillion dollars global economic value.
The question is how do we capture this value by connecting the unconnected, while carving out actionable, replicable insights from Big Data ? The speech will include practical cases on how enterprises – including Cisco – and public sector agencies are able today to unleash economic, social and environmental value through data-intensive, new IT consumption models

Capturing the Value of the Internet of Everything
Internet – single most transformative technology we’ve seen in 25 years. Its still evolving.
Key: EDI, XML EDI, E-Commerce, Immersive Experiences: Video, BYOD, Mobility, Consumerization of IT.
The World is Changing… again… The only constant is change
Over the past six years business demands for productivity, increasing globalisation and the consumerization of IT have changed dramatically.
For organizations of all sizes, this means new growth opportunities with advances in productivity
Companies and organizations are being faced with the demand for technology as a service inside the Enterprise. Employees want the ability to access any application, any time, anywhere – from the device of their choice. It means employees are demanding the same technology experience expectations in their workplace that they have in their personal lives (Amazon.com, Online banking, etc.)
And the emergence of new business models
Increasing expectations from users around the world with security, regulation and compliance requirements
All of these changes require the next evolution of the Internet
Evolution of the Internet: 4 phases
Connectivity - Digitize Access To Information
Networked Economy - Digitize Business Processes
Immersive Experiences - Digitize Interactions (Business & Social)
Internet of Everything - Digitize the World
Each phase built on the previous one… to create more value for businesses, governments and society in general.
The first phase – maybe 20 years ago – was the connectivity phase – just getting connected to the online world was miracle enough.
A lot of people here helped create the next wave – the Networked Economy, which was characterized by the development of things like eCommerce and digitally connected supply chain
That’s when the value of analytics peaked.
Connecting unconnected – consolidating OSI stack
The phase we are in now is the Immersive Experiences– dominated by things like Social Media, collaboration and widespread mobility on a variety of devices.
So the current phase is about digitizing the interactions, the next phase is about connecting the 99.4% of objects that were previously unconnected, and this is primarily Things. We’re going to digitize the remainder of society’s nervous system to the point that some philosophers are talking about a singularity
But, as we’ve talked about in conjunction with the brand campaign launch… we are also entering into a new phase – the Internet of Everything wave – where there’s intelligence everywhere. It is immersive and will enable things we never dreamt were possible.
99% of things are unconnected. The next phase is about connecting people, process, data and things.
Talking Points/Script:
The Internet of Everything (IoE) connects people, process, data and things. To better understand this definition, we must first break down IoE’s individual components.
People: As the Internet evolves toward IoE, we will be connected in more relevant and valuable ways. Today, most people connect to the Internet through their use of devices (such as PCs, tablets, TVs, and smartphones) and social networks such as Facebook. In the future, people will be able to swallow a pill that senses and reports the health of their digestive tract to a doctor over a secure Internet connection. In addition, sensors placed on the skin or sewn into clothing will provide information about a person’s vital signs. According to Gartner, people themselves will become nodes on the Internet, with both static information and a constantly emitting activity system.
Process: Process plays an important role in how each of these entities — people, data, and things — works with the others to deliver value in the connected world of IoE. With the correct process, connections become relevant and add value because the right information is delivered to the right person at the right time in the appropriate way. With an emphasis on security and policy compliance that protects personal information.
Data: With the Internet of Things, devices typically gather data and stream it over the Internet to a central source, where it is analyzed and processed. As the capabilities of things connected to the Internet continue to advance, they will become more intelligent by combining data into more useful information. Rather than just reporting raw data, connected things will soon send higher-level information back to machines, computers, and people for further evaluation and decision making. This transformation from data to information in IoE is important because it will allow for faster, more informed decision making and even provide predictive capabilities.
Things: This group is made up of physical items like sensors, consumer devices, and enterprise assets that are connected to both the Internet and each other. In IoE, these things will create and monitor more data, become context-aware, and provide more experiential information to help people and machines make more relevant and valuable decisions. Examples of “things” in IoE include smart sensors built into structures like bridges, and disposable sensors that will be placed on everyday items such as milk cartons.
But, “Data” is the biggest challenge to realizing that opportunity:
In a recent Cisco study (2014), 40% of surveyed companies identified Big Data as the area in most of need of improvement within their organization.
In the same study, nearly 40% said that within three years, most data will be processed at the network edge on smart devices. They also identified Analytics tools for Big Data as the most important enablers of connected device networking.
Which of the following enabling areas do you think your organization needs to improve the most in order to make effective use of IoT solutions?
Data - Effectively capturing, storing, and analyzing data generated by connected "things" (e.g., machines, devices)
Process - Updating our business and operational processes to benefit from IoT solutions
People - Enabling our workers to effectively use IoT solutions through means such as training and providing user-friendly systems
Things - Connecting the right "things" (e.g., machines, devices, equipment) to capture useful data
Who better to drive these connections than Cisco? We built the network, in which data has travelled over for more than 25 years…
Customers have three key imperatives across this spectrum:
A stronger engine to accelerate applications and power data-intensive analytics in the data center core
A common operating environment that spans from the data center to the edge and the sources of new computing demand
A common operating environment that spans traditional and emerging applications and a better architecture for these scale out workloads
So how can we help solve these issues?
we need
visionary leadership by political and key business leaders to visualize a different way to build and operate a city
open global standards so that it can become a globally interconnected city, technologically and economically
Smart regulation by governments to redefine infrastructure development and city operations
Public private partnerships with governments and private enterprises and I would add to that now a 4th P – People
Global ecosystem of partners that include academia, business, and social networks.
It takes all five of these factors…without one, it changes completely.
