is really about the
insights and how
these can improve
our world
It’s all about the Things (and soldering irons)2
New Business Models
Smarter Operations
New Markets
6. Internet of Things
is best when it’s
combined with
Cognitive,
Analytics, Mobile,
Social and Cloud
Internet of Things technology is standalone3
7. It takes a lot of time and effort to get going4
Internet of Things
Platforms get you
to prototype fast
with minimal
coding
8. Security and standards aren’t there yet5
The open standard
for secure Internet
of Things is here
(it’s called MQTT)
9. 5 reasons to start today5 myths that hold us back
It’s the future – but we’re just not ready yet
It’s all about the Things (and soldering irons)
The technology is standalone and specialist
It takes a lot of time and effort to get going
Security and standards aren’t there yet
It’s the future – and that future is already here
It’s about the insights – and you can unlock these
The technology can be combined with today’s
You can get to prototype fast and freely
The secure standards are mature and open

Editor's Notes
9 billion devices around the world are currently connected to the Internet, including computers and smartphones
The number is expected to increase dramatically within the next decade, with estimates ranging from 50 Billion devices to reaching 1 trillion
The Internet of Things has the potential to create economic impact
of $2.7 trillion to $6.2 trillion annually by 2025
90% Volume of data created by the Internet of Things that is never captured, analyzed or acted upon.
60% Amount of that data that loses its value within milliseconds of being generated.
