Whatis.techtarget.com says… “The Internetof Things (IoT) is an environment in which objects, animals or people are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. IoT has evolved from the convergence of wireless technologies, micro- electromechanical systems (MEMS) and the Internet.” Definitions
- 8. Definitions Gartner IT Glossarysays… “The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects that contain embedded technology to communicate and sense or interact with their internal states or the external environment.” Jim Tully of Gartner “not just things. IoT includes a stack of technologies”. Communication, Data Storage, Analyzing. Remote operation of a device.
- 9. Definitions Technopedia says… Similar tothe Gartner definition, but adds… “The IoT is significant because an object that can represent itself digitally becomes something greater than the object by itself. No longer does the object relate just to you, but is now connected to surrounding objects and database data. When many objects act in unison, they are known as having ‘ambient intelligence’ ”.

Editor's Notes
- #3 Digital publishing solutions that cover the entire content lifecycle. XML authoring in Word in a browser. The Quark Platform CMS. High fidelity multi-channel publishing to PDF, the web, mobile devices. The entire content lifecycle. Stop by the Quark booth to get a free copy of Dummies book. Quark develops content automation software for large global organizations. There’s a huge volume of business-critical content in the world Organizations still typically create ALL content manually This is extremely difficult to manage, expensive and very slow The processes have remained largely unchanged for decades Quark provides software to automate the content process from creation to consumption How do we do this? Rather than creating documents, our customers create reusable Smart Content components These reusable Smart Content components only have to get created once, reviewed and approved once, and then they are dynamically assembled into different documents for the Web, PDFs, even to mobile apps Because our content automation software is tracking all of these content components, if a change is made to any of the content, it can automatically update every document and occurrence where that content is used
- #4 We sell to organizations across a range of industries including finance, government, industrial and life sciences. This is just a sampling of customers but hopefully gives you some sense of the size and complexity of clients that we work with. If you have time, you can use one or more of the following brief examples to illustrate what we do: HSBC HSBC uses our content automation platform across a large number of projects including investment research reporting, their global standards manual and call center customer service procedures They have a return on investment in the range of millions of dollars/euros/pounds through efficiency savings, reduced time to market and improved compliance UNICEF UNICEF runs their entire donor information system using our content automation platform They reduced the time it takes to create personalized donor communications from weeks to seconds and directly attribute an increase in their donations of half a billion dollars annually to their new donor system Emirates Airlines Emirates uses our content automation platform to deliver information to their cabin crew and ground staff They have been able to minimize the downtime of their aircraft, improve the training of 4,000 staff per year, enable a mobile workforce of 17,000 and improve customer service
- #6 Goal is to raise awareness about a big challenge / opportunity
- #7 I’ve found many definitions for IoT and what I don’t want to do is have a heated debate about the what is the most accurate def.
- #11 Hold that thought. Apparently so.
- #12 I’ve found many definitions for IoT and what I don’t want to do is have a heated debate about the what is the most accurate def.
- #13 For this discussion, things equals products.
- #21 Caterpillar 30%
- #22 Relate this to a SYSTEM…Star system…an increase in complexity and volume of content……
- #27 I think
- #28 Add individual Content Sphere TODO
- #30 Star system…an increase in complexity and volume of content…….System
- #32 It’s getting better, but you know what I am talking about.
- #33 This track is called content engineering…let’s take a look
- #34 Software is one component of a smart product.
- #35 An interesting …I’ve simplified this a bit for this conversation
- #37 Homework
- #39 Designing content models, content structure reuse maps.
- #40 It’s the same phases. A similar WBS
- #41 I’ve always thought this was an interesting parallelism and part of the solution to “the problem”.
- #42 Aligning lifecycles. Aligning processes. No more Content as an afterthought
- #44 How do we do this? If you are not comfortable working with reqs documentation and design documentation, I encourage you to gain these skills.
- #45 In my blog, CLEAR UNAMBIUOUS. You may think you know to write reqs, but I seen them written as a combo of reqs and design, so I recommend you take a class or a workshop on writing requirements. It’s been many years since I did this so I don’t know who to recommend. If you do please add it in a comment to the blog.
- #46 Similarly, I’ve posted my STC presentation. It will help you break down systems into sub-systems and components.
- #47 BODY. I use this skill to understanding technology……This is why I’ve shared my presentation on learning OOD. As a content strategist, I use the Rockley Methodology. Understanding OOD really helped me learn and use this methodology.
- #48 This will help you if you are writing API / SDK content.
- #49 Most of the presentation is based on this book.
- #50 Relate this to a SYSTEM…Star system…an increase in complexity and volume of functionality …and content……
- #51 Relate this to a SYSTEM…Star system…an increase in complexity and volume of content……
- #52 Relate this to a SYSTEM…Star system…an increase in complexity and volume of content……
- #53 If you haven’t read the definition of IC. Part of the solution is learning and using this methodology.
- #55 I am I thinking about this correctly?
- #57 As you become comfortable with requirements documents and design documents, you can help and collaborate with the documents of the other disciplines.
