Objectives and Assessment StructureObjectives and Assessment Structure
• ESTconsulting Services shall provide a „Business Opportunity Report“, which discusses the various aspects concerning
market entry, its chances and its challenges. Findings will focus as far as possible on how German SMBs leverage any data,
and what differentiation they gain by making the most out of their data during early stages of IIoT transformation.
• The overall reference base is the so-called “Internet of Things”. It directs with its industrial focus to “Industrial Internet of
Things”. This automatically emphasizes the manufacturing industry. However, other industries will be discussed for
opportunities as well. Central to the “Internet of Things” are processes linked to (Big) data and the various ways to exploit
data for business purposes. Volume, spread sources, ‘real-time’ requirements, and complex contents are characteristics
which compel the use of modern and advanced tools for data gathering, analytics, and presentation.

ScopeScope
• Regional Scope: Germany; if regional view is on a higher level (e.g.
DACH, Western Europe, World), it is assumed that statements are of
generic nature applicable to Germany as well.
• Time Scope: the regular considered timeframe is ‚present‘ and ‚near
future‘ if not differently indicated.
• Object Scope: software tools, solutions and services targeted at
‚smart‘ use of data in terms of generation, management, analysis and
delivery to business processes.
• Industry Scope: there are three levels of differentiation, (1) all
industries and size classes, (2) small and medium sized businesses,
and specific industries like e.g. manufacturing.

DefinitionsDefinitions
• Big Data = large data volumes from any source, which are complex and change rapidly. Thus, they can‘t be
processed, analysed und reported manually through traditional methods and infrastructure. As an extended
view, Big Data adresses also the technologies which are used to gather, structure, analyse and report the
data.
• BI = Business Intelligence = technology based defined process of systematic collection, structuring, analysis,
and presentation of data for the improvement of business decisions and/or operations. Traditionally, BI was
used for controlling, reporting, marketing, and management.
• IoT = Internet of Things = fusion of physical and virtual information by deploying intelligent sensors and
actors to control and to drive processes via Internet or Internet-like computing structures. Partly used
synonyms are „Ubiquitous Computing“.
• IIoT = Industrial Internet of Things = applying the idea of IoT to industrial processes through integration of
physical machinery, sensors, software and network (not necessarily the Internet). IIoT can be regarded as a
sub-layer to the Internet of Things. Synonymous expressions are „Fourth Industrial Revolution“, „Industry
4.0“, „Machine-to-Machine Communications“ (M2M), „Cyber-Physical Systems“.

ConclusionConclusion
• There is an overlap in the practical meaning between ‚Big Data‘ and ‚Business Intelligence‘ if not distinguished by the
amount of data being processed. In both cases, there is a data collection phase, an analytic part, and the reporting or
delivery of results.
• IoT and IIoT relate to processes that produce „Big Data“. Depending on the application which shall be supported, data
generation, analytics and reporting will have a versatile appearance.
• In order to cover both aspects (BI and Big Data), we will refer to the more generic specification (see graph below).
• The contextual framework has changed through IoT and IIoT. The data analytics model still applies whether we look at ‘Big
Data’, ‘IoT’, ‘IIoT’, ‘Digital Factory’ or similar. But, new IT-infrastructure and applications are needed to deploy the data
analytics model in the world of data growth and new emerging challenges.

Industry 4.0 – Bringing IoT into PracticeIndustry 4.0 – Bringing IoT into Practice
• Industry 4.0 = Industrie 4.0 (German) was incorporated into the German Government’s
high-tech strategy in 2012. The goal is to promote the spread of computerisation in
German industries, particularly in the industrial sector such as ‚Manufacturing‘. It will
bring more intelligence into factories (smart factory) and the associated business
processes with adaptive systems and new resource models as well as the integration of
all stakeholders of the value chain through the connectivity of cyber-physical systems.
Although the foundation for this programme goes back to the year 2006, it can be
regarded as a rather recent initiative as far as the overall perception and the
commercialisation is concerned (see chapter 6).
• The Federal Ministry for Economics and Techonology (BMWi) is actively engaged in
research projects and funding of pilots to enable a greater pervasiveness of IoT.
• Under the scope of «Autonomics programme», in the previous 6 years, 12 pilot projects
were sponsored with focus on SMEs, manufacturing, logistics, and energy. In a further
step the agenda is to support research and pilots for machines, service robots, and other
systems that are able to cope autonomously with complex tasks (www.autonomik.de/en).

• Mobility and Big Data are pillars of the new 3rd platform
triggered IT era. They both are driving the transformation
needs in IT and become substantial parts in concepts of IoT.
• IoT can be regarded as a framework which allows a
magnitude of different definitions, solutions and
classifications. From a generic point of view, the data
analytics model is part of the kernel system in IoT/IIoT-based
processes.
• The way to look at the market of IoT is very complex. Various
focal points (industry, area of application, customer
segment, supplier model) can be used and combined,
resulting in a vast differentiation of application sub-markets.
• As we are still in an early phase of IoT market development
(Hype-Phase), future scenarios as well as market size
projections vary on a broad scale. For Germany, an increase
in perception of ‘Industrie 4.0’ and associated actions can be
stated. The total revenues in the German Manufacturing
sector is estimated to be 79 Billion € in 2025.
• Because of the developments of the 3rd platform and the
governmental actions it can be expected that there will be a
strong market growth in the German Manufacturing markets
fuelling the investments in IT.

• Data Analytics are part of the core value chain to use data for the purpose of IoT applications
and/or Business Intelligence. It is an embedded part of any Big Data approach which uses Big Data
technologies as well as it is core to ‘traditional’ data analytics structures in BI. The difference is
not only a matter of scaling resources according to large or smaller data volumes or to the variety
of data sources. It can be concluded from the newly-created and employed technologies, the
‘real-time’ and automated functionality in capturing and processing data, and the integrated use
of various data sources, sometimes referred to as High Performance Data Analysis (HPDA).
• When the terms Big Data or BI are used, they both include Data Analytics as a core component.

How Will Demand Be Evolving?How Will Demand Be Evolving?
• Large enterprises are more agile in looking for competitive advantages.
• SMBs slowly anticipate that Big Data can be a differentiator to competitors.
• Actions, pilots, public attention and the interest of large consulting
companies in Industry 4.0 are promoting the topic, thus, encouraging also
SMBs to consider IT transformation.
• Analytics will go into the cloud, providing advanced techniques and high
processing power to SMB customers.
• Budget restrictions can be overcome with public/hybrid cloud solutions.
• Once, a critical number of SMB use cases is reached, market growth gets to
a new level, encouraging new vendors to provide vertical solutions over the
cloud-platform.

• Data Analytics may be regarded as a substantial part of Big Data and BI applications.
• There are known use cases of Big Data driving business processes, however, still limited
to large and IT-advanced enterprises.
• BI applications can already be found in the SMB sector, however, with focus on
controlling, marketing and sales rather than in production processes or deploying Big
Data analytics.
• As the transformation of IT towards digitisation for the 3rd platform gains more and more
attention, and as technologies and solutions emerge which can cope with the growth of
data, with mobility and social networks, enterprises of all size classes will start
considering Big Data applications.
• Even though IoT has conquered the agenda of IT- and business professionals, many
German companies and the public sector organisations are only in the very beginning of
climbing the maturity ladder of Data Analytics.

There is a vast amount of establishments providing Public Services in Germany as part of governmental or
publicly owned entities. Direct public service institutions are organs of the federal government, of regional-level
or of community level like e.g. courts, public authorities, registration offices. Indirect public services are
provided by institutions which are controlled by federal or regional government and/or operate as independent
bodies under public law such as e.g. labour office, Federal Reserve Bank, national insurance. There were 5,73
Mill. employees in Public Services 2013 (Statistisches Bundesamt 2015).
Public service institutions are subject to developments labelled as ‚e-government‘ initiatives which relate to the
digitisation of public service processes. It also reflects the variety of different applications depending on the
type of authority.

• Germany has the largest share of industrial added value in the EU (31%). Within Germany the industrial sector represents
22% of the overall added value (EU average = 15%, Eurostat 2013).
• The German industrial structure is multifarious:
• 3,6 millions of enterprises/establishments
• Thereof 3,3 millions with less than 10 employees
• Small to medium size businesses (SMBs) account for 330.000 if categorised as 10 – 249 employees
• Larger and very large enterprises are about 12.900 (250+ employees)
• 5,7 million people were public servants in 2013 working in institutions on federal, regional or community level
• The largest industrial sectors are Automotive, Construction, and Manufacturing, which sum to more than 1,15 million establishments
(all sizes)
• Within Manufacturing, vehicle and machinery production generate the largest contribution to Manufacturing’s revenues.
• The German Public Services sector with 5,73 million employed people is the largest single group compared to the
industrial breakdown.
• In terms of Big Data potential, classified through the change of data intensity use and data growth, industries such as
Retail/Wholesale, IT/Telco, Government/Education, Healthcare and Mobility/Logistics are leading the rank order.
• Looking just at the volumes by means of revenues, establishments, employees, potentials etc. can be one hint to select
branches or sub-branches. However, each category is big, Germany’s economy is in a very good shape, unemployment rate
is low, and high-level qualified staff is rare – each branch might be a reasonable target.

• There is a lack of reliable data about the German situation with respect to Big Data solution
penetration. Big Data in other than IT-departments is not a widely used term.
• Using ‘Industrie 4.0’ or ‘IIoT’ as alternative expressions, it similarly can be stated that there is still a lack
in perception and in according actions for German industries. The bigger the enterprise and/or the
faster data is growing, the more can be expected in terms of strategies towards Big Data.
• Data analytics which are carried out still relate more to internal data and do not compile so many
internal and external data sources. The focus is still on the internal master and transactional data
sources.
• The associated applications focus for SMBs on the ‘classical’ control and planning functions in sales,
marketing and management. However, Logistics, HR and Production are catching up.
• Accordingly, decision data improvements, customer knowledge and understanding market trends are
still perceived as big potentials for Big Data applications in the sense of traditional BI.
• The transformation to Big Data usage for more sophisticated decision making and the control of many
other application areas in the enterprise are for the majority of companies still in an early stage.
However, the IIoT and Big Data ‘vehicle’, from a German end-user perspective, has started to move.

The Role of Big Players in the Manufacturing IIoTThe Role of Big Players in the Manufacturing IIoT
Even if it is a US-based initiative, it needs to be taken into account when thinking of approaches towards IIoT
solutions and engagements: The Industrial Internet Consortium. It is called a „Global Nonprofit Partnership of
Industry, Government and Academia“. It was founded 2014 by AT&T, Cisco, General Electric, Intel, and IBM. All
these global players have an interest to establish their position in this early market phase on a worldwide level
by
• Drivíng innovation through the creation of new industry use cases and testbeds for real-world applications
• Define and develop the reference architecture and frameworks necessary for interoperability
• Influence the global development standards process for internet and industrial systems
• Facilitate open forums to share and exchange real-world ideas, practices, lessons, and insights.
© ESTconsulting Services 2015 Source: http://www.iiconsortium.org/about-us.htm Confidential 44
The goal for these big players is to establish quasi-industry-standards by putting their technologies in place.
The initial founders represent the complete value-chain of basic technologies which are needed for IIoT
applications: Communications, networks, machine communication, computing power and software. Many
other companies have joined the IIC and are establishing testbeds to develop use cases (e.g. Bosch) to become
vanguards in IIoT application technologies.
For any development of M2M based solutions, process-, interface- and protocol-standards as well as enabling
technologies provided by these players need to be considered. However, caution should be exerted when
propriatery systems, devices, and protocols are promoted as long as it is unclear which one will become an
established standard.

• Business with Big Data is twofold. On one hand, those industries employing Big Data solutions are
attributed considerable growth and improvement of market position. Early adopting companies have
understood that they can gain competitive advantages by doing Big Data analytics. On the other hand
there are the technology providers offering products, solutions, and services to the market.
• Industries and technology providers previously were negotiating on BI applications. This still exists, but
is converting to the Big Data approach applicable to more volume, more variety and higher speed. BI
and Big Data technologies converge.
• As far as products and solutions become better and more vertical (branch-application focussed), and
transformation processes become more common to renovate legacy infrastructures, the market will
steadily grow. There are big potentials in Germany.
• BI software - in the traditional sense - is supposed to grow much stronger as the regular software
market due to these reasons. A growth rate between 10-20% per year is being expected.
• A market forecast for Germany predicts more than 3,1 Bn€ for 2019 composed of revenues from
services, software and hardware. The portion for services with about 1,9 Bn€ is larger than the ones for
software and hardware together. This is due to the versatility of evolving services such as cloud
provisioning, SaaS, DaaS etc.

German Start-ups

• The supplier market is structured by various elements and every mix of criteria can be found:
• large players vs. small players
• extended portfolio vs. BI only
• local vs. international
• traditional BI vs. Big Data
• platform providers vs. application designers
• direct sales vs. indirect, OEM sales
• product orientation vs. service orientation
• In Gartner’s radar screen, profiling vendors by ‘Completeness of Vision’ and ‘Ability to Execute’, all large universal vendors
are US companies with the exception of SAP.
• The German supplier landscape consists of the big platform vendors, of internationally present BI/Big Data specialists, and
of German BI/Big Data companies. There is no real start-up company playing a significant role in Germany. All suppliers
have a more or less long history (10-20 years) in the German market with yield in use cases and in footprint.
• Strong players are those ones with international presence which also applies to most of the German suppliers. Typically a
supplier started with BI reporting tools. Modernisation and new developments today allow most of the midsized and small
players to participate in the Big Data arena.
• The typical ecosystem of a solution and service vendor is built on a technology relationship to platform-., ERP- and BI-
technology-vendors, to channel partners in the role of a sales channel and/or OEM partner, and to resource partners. The
majority of suppliers offer also services such as consulting, integration, and customisation.
• German start-up-companies invent solutions ranging from platforms for data analytics up to vertical applications.

• Finland has an outstanding reputation regarding the position in the EU-rank order of new
technology adoption, higher-level education, R&D investments and innovation. Together with a
broad service-orientation and excellent software development skills a strong fundamental for
software products and services is compounded. But, do the German industries know about
Finland’s strengths?
• As for EU members, there is no formal restriction to do work or to establish commercial activities
in Germany .
• There is a broad range of possible business cases available along the Big Data Products and
services value chain.
• Criteria which lead to a vendor selection for products and services are diverse and challenging.
• There are several positions in the typical Big Data/BI business ecosystem which could be
conquered by foreign suppliers (such as Finland) as the market anyway consists of many
international players mainly from the US.
• However, for the SMB market local presence (with some exceptions) is necessary.

• Vertical Industry: Automotive manufacturing, large sized company, HQ in Germany, international presence, key German industrial market.
• The Challenge: No complete insight into the data being generated throughout the whole value chain from R&D, production to after sales
services. Heterogeneous IT environments make data exploration and analyses complicated and time-intensive. The provision and analysis of
data could be used for quality improvement and early fault recognition. Data volumes are continuously growing due to new and more
complex electronic production equipment which raise the difficulty to provide information instantaneously.
• Solution:
• Creation of a common interface for 2.000 internal users who are using data and analytics
• All data sources are collected and aggregated into a central Data Warehouse
• Data is made consistent and responsibilities are attributed
• Analytical support is optimized and early warning procedures are implemented
• Standardisation of analysis and reporting in the areas of Technology and After Sales
• Benefits:
• Decision making is based on all generated and available quality-relevant data in conjunction with the appropriate analytical tools
• Customer satisfaction will be elevated
• Early fault warning increases productivity
• Elimination of error sources creates quality improvement
• Homogeneous data sources and integrated analytical processes reduce the time-cycle for fault management
• ‘Lessons Learned’: ‘Variety’ (multiple heterogenous data sources) composes the biggest challenge because of data structures changes and
expansions. Data governance is essential for a structured and transparent data management. ‘Volume’ and ‘Velocity’ related challenges can
be accomplished through hardware and software enhancements and optimisation.

• Vertical Industry: Production of wood laquer, medium sized (450 employees), German HQ, family owned since 1910, market leader in
Germany.
• The Challenge: 40.000 different compositions of colours/type have to be targeted to the customer’s need. A new ERP-System was installed
to help to manage these requirements (MS Dynamics). The BI-features already integrated were not sufficient or not of high performance to
really optimise the processes in production, sales and service. This should also include data from the CRM system, the production data, and
from an in-house solution of laboratory information management.
• Solution:
• Establish and integrate a BI System (MS sharepoint based)
• An IT Service company (Oraylis) was chosen for consulting, planning and integration of the solution
• Benefits:
• New reports and analytics were developed: Product finder, P&L, sales forecasts, profitability by product, by customer, supply optimisation
• Analyses and reports at the push of a button
• Customer and employee satisfaction will be elevated
• Less data management efforts because of integrated storing and processing
• ‘Lessons Learned’: Multiple data sources and BI can lead to a solution suited for SMBs based on standard HW/SW components. With a
limited use of external consulting, integration and customisation the customer became prepared for a new era of smart data use for
business processes.

• Vertical Industry: Pumping plant as part of a production machinery installation. This is used as a show case under the header: From Sensor
to the Cloud and Back. It may be transferred as a concept to other machinery types.
• The Challenge: Pumps are an essential part of many machinery plants. When there is malfunction, the pump needs to be repaired or
replaced which interrupts the production process, thus, decreasing productivity.
• Solution:
• There was one main pump and one reserve pump installed, both synchronised.
• Pumps were equipped with sensors measuring power consumption, voltage, and input power.
• Two other sensors were taking data about water pressure and water flow-through.
• A protocol converter collected data and sent it via M2M interface to SAP Hana-Cloud every second.
• Data is analysed and compared with historical data and characteristics from other pumps.
• In case of fault prediction an alert is sent out providing proposed actions, service information and spare parts required.
• Benefits:
• Predictive maintenance and support
• Higher availability and productivity
• Enhanced service-levels
• ‘Lessons Learned’: This is a prototype for pump or other machine installations - when sensor-equipped - can communicate with cloud
services being independent of local computer power.

AdvantagesAdvantages
• Fast modifications possible to produce different

• Continous production process
• Common user-interface to be deployed with
reduced training support

• There is already a manifold of use cases visible even if we are still at the beginning of the
IIoT wave.
• From use cases one can deduct that there are basic technology solutions which can be
deployed in various branches. However, there is always a specific part of vertical
application to be added. In some cases it might be 20% customisation, in others it might
be 50%.
• There are integrators using basic technologies to compose a complete solution which
needs to be integrated and customised at the front-end (MS Sharepoint, MS Dynamics
connectivity).
• Also industrial applications can be developed as a generic solution, applicable to various
production environments.
• Not all SMB applications require Big Data technologies.

Conclusions Summary (1)Conclusions Summary (1)
• IoT and IIoT are a manifestation of the new IT era based on the 3rd platform. Big Data is one of the
tremendous forces accelerating the development of new technologies and applications.
• ‘Traditional’ Business Intelligence can be regarded as the foundation for Big Data Analytics. But, BI-‘classics’
cannot cope with volume, variety, velocity, and veracity of today’s growing data streams and associated
analytics.
• Industry 4.0 initiatives from the public as well as from commercial sectors are initialising the transformation
from old (analog) to digitally connected industrial processes. This implies a modernisation of previous
infrastructures to allow new applications for productivity benefits.
• Data Analytics are part of both, Big Data and Business Intelligence. While BI analytics are widely spread in
German industries, Big Data usage is still reluctant for SMBs, better accepted in larger and advanced
enterprises. The application focus is on marketing and controlling. New application areas like production and
the use of Video- and Geodata are still in its infancy but assumed to grow.
• Germany, with its large number of SMBs and Public Services subsidiaries, is a vast potential for all IoT and
IIoT related technologies and applications. There are industry sectors with a larger Big Data or a faster
developing potential for Big Data applications. For Manufacturing, investments are encouraged by gaining
cost reduction, productivity increase and innovation.
• Big Data is better perceived than IIoT as the data growth in businesses and public institutions is obvious and
many initiatives are at least being planned. Again, the focus is on the improvement of traditional planning.

Conclusions Summary (2)Conclusions Summary (2)
• The market in Germany is characterised by growth of BI-revenues much stronger than for the overall
software market. Services are the largest component in the German ‘Big Data’-market.
• There is a variety of players in the international as well as the German market having a track record in
previous BI technologies and applications. Some of them are narrowing both technologies by having
integrated Big Data technologies into their portfolio.
• The supplier segmentation in Germany ranges from large international platform vendors to small niche
application developers. Most of the vendors have a service offering or a service partner associated.
• Besides the typical ecosystem for selling products, solutions and services, there are start-up companies with
Big Data technologies and applications trying to create footprints. However, a significant number focus
primarily on the US market where they think to gain more momentum.
• Finland finds itself in a pole position as far as statistical data about innovation, high education, R&D and
technology penetration are concerned. Probably, this is not so widely known in Germany that it could be
assumed as an easy market opener for Finnish newcomers.
• For a single market approach the selection criteria used by the German customer base are extensive. There
are several prototype models where to find entry points into the German market as part of the ecosystem.
• Use cases are manifold, but there are also vast potentials for new applications if broken down to a smaller
vertical segment.

Bottom LineBottom Line
© ESTconsulting Services 2015 ESTconsulting Services 2015 Confidential 81
A vendor trying to approach the BI/Big Data market in Germany is facing:
• A growing market demand for tools that can manage the information overload, for solutions which
provide decision support, enable business process automation and gain competitive advantages and
productivity wins.
• Technologies which are advanced in using cloud services, scalable computing and storage architectures
and HSDA to exploit all kind of data usages.
• New delivery models and connected devices e.g. cloud based, mobile, mixed platforms.
• New business models through new ecosystems-constructs such as subscription based pricing, ads
supported charging, revenue sharing.
• Presence of large IT vendors ruling submarkets and expand through acquisition, thus making it harder
for small vendors to compete and to differentiate.
• A big potential customer base with a vast number of small and medium size businesses and a
Manufacturing sector which is one of Germany’s most important industrial branches.
• A need for expertise of how to link technologies to business (vertical level).
• Open windows for market entry because of the still early phase in market growth, and a lack of skills
and capacity in the customer IT organisations to handle new technologies.
