In the second report we focused on the personalized internet of things. We are witnessing a computer boom in terms of kinds, shapes and sizes – around, on or inside the body. Therefore we explored the coming transition toward a more empathic and contextual form of computerization. The emergence of wearable computing and other forms of empathic ‘things’ seems a logical further step: even more intimate, more human-oriented, and ubiquitous. We explored this development and present seven manifestations that can define the impact on business, such as the ‘quantified employee’ and the ‘body as the new password’.

The Internet is expanding. And this is not just in terms of getting accessible to more people; it is expanding beyond humans. Machines are becoming connected. Machines are talking to humans, but increasingly, they are also talking to one another. And this interconnectedness of machines, or the Internet of Things (IoT), is a potential multi-trillion dollar market that organizations can now tap into.
However, do organizations realize the scale of the opportunity? Capgemini Consulting conducted an extensive survey of IoT products and services of over 100 leading companies across North America and Europe. We also spoke at length with several industry executives at companies developing IoT solutions to understand the challenges companies face. This article presents the results of the survey and highlights the key hurdles companies are facing.

Understand how 537 enterprise executives are using megatrend technologies to drive transformational impact for their business, their customers and their employees.
Industry 4.0 is the name of the next industrial revolution which is fueled by the advancement of digital technologies. It
is dramatically changing how companies engage in business activities. As a result, the disruptive nature of Industry 4.0
demands a reassessment of the requirements for IT. On the one hand, there is the possibility that the responsibilities of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) could be taken over by other executives such as the Chief Digital Officer (CDO) or the Chief Technology Officer (CTO). On the other hand, this
recent development creates entirely new perspectives for positioning themselves and their IT departments
within the business.
The impact of digital technologies is reaching a magnitude at which IT is considered a substantial
business driver, potentially placing CIOs in the driver’s seat.

3-part approach to turning IoT data into business powerAbhishek Sood
There will be 44 zettabytes of data produced by IoT alone by 2020, according to IDC. That’s a little more than the cumulative size of 44 trillion feature films.
Data from IoT devices will soon be table stakes in your industry, if it isn’t already. Turning that data into quick and actionable insights is the race for all businesses who are investing in IoT devices.
Learn about a 3-pronged approach that can turn your IoT data into business actions:
Business-wide analytics revolution
Connected relationships with customers
Intelligent innovation based on data
Chances are if someone were to ask you to choose a department in your company where you could save close to $9 million as part of a 3-year ROI, HR wouldn’t make the top-of-the-mind list. Years past would suggest something closely related to HR - like layoffs - as holding the answer, but that’s not where the dollars could be saved as one large American healthcare provider found out.
The undisclosed, $4 billion organization was unfortunately riddled with inconsistencies and redundancies throughout their HR department that were ultimately draining massive amounts of resources. After much thought, the provider turned to ServiceNow for advice - and a new solution.
In this exclusive Forrester Research report, see how this healthcare provider was able to consumerize their employee service experience, which led them to unlock benefits like:
Benefits approaching $10 million in savings
30% improved efficiency in servicing HR cases
50% reduction in audit and compliance costs

Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy.

All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation.

Don’t Come Last in a
Mobile-First Future
The era of desktop computing has ended. Smart companies know that business mobility is critical to their
long-term success. They are accelerating their investment in mobile technology — more devices, apps,
content and back-end systems. They are turning into ‘Mobile-first’ companies. However, this new philosophy
does not come without challenges. Dealing with scale, diversity, interoperability and remote support for all
the new devices and endpoints are just a few of them. Mobile-first companies are looking for mobile-first
solutions to help them address these new challenges.

The Rapid Rise
of Business Mobility
Business mobility is changing fast. Not too long ago companies only equipped
workers in select departments with mobile devices. Even then, the market saw
equal sales of mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) and personal computers
(desktops and laptops). But now, with more workers on the road and away from
their desk, companies are deploying more smartphones and tablets. By 2020
mobile devices will outsell PC’s by a factor of ten.* Even when you limit the scope
to the business market, companies are buying two to three times as many mobile
devices as desktops and laptops.
Another example of the ascendance of mobile technology is where and how
internet data is being generated. Just a couple of years ago, the clear majority
of internet IP traffic was created by PCs (59%) as opposed to smartphones (8%).
By 2020, the volume of data will be roughly equal; PCs (29%) and smartphones
(30%), while tablets, smart TV’s and IoT devices will generate a rapidly increasing
share.**
What is driving this revolution in business mobility? Smart companies are doubling
down on mobile technology and the IoT to reinvent their business and crush
the competition. They are embracing the concept of ‘Mobile-first’ beyond its
legacy consumer focus into a core business strategy. It is simple; they see mobile
technology as critical to the success of their business.
4. How Companies
Use Mobile Technology
Why companies deploy mobile technology is relatively straightforward and consistent. They want
to empower their workers, improve customer engagement, and streamline their operations.
How they go about it is much more complicated. During its two decades of mobility management
experience, SOTI has identified six common business mobility strategies that mobile-first
companies are adopting.
Drive Business
Transformation
The term ‘Business transformation’ is over-used, and not always understood. In some cases, it
describes a company that completely changes their line of business, think Netflix™. But another,
equally valid definition is when a company fundamentally changes the way they operate their
business through the use of mobile technology.
Differentiate
the Customer
Experience
A company cannot succeed without loyal customers. In this era of pervasive digital technology
and always-on social media, it is more important than ever to distinguish yourself from your
competitors. One way to do this is to use mobile technology to tap into the growing buying
power of the Millennials, the “Digital Natives.”
Focus on
Business-
critical Mobility
Some business solutions are mission-critical, when they go down, they can bring the company to
a standstill. Other solutions can be classified as business-critical: their absence can significantly
affect the performance of the company, and its ability to execute its core business. For some
companies, business mobility has become business critical – their day-to-day operations depend
on mobile technology and associated back-end systems.
Deliver Smart
Insights
Figuring out how your customer thinks, and influencing their behavior, is a key to business
success. There are two common approaches to getting this data: you can dig deep or sample
widely. Customer surveys and focus groups are used to dig deep. Extract detailed data from a
suitable sample size and extrapolate the findings to your customer base. The ‘wide’ strategy is
to extract smaller amounts of data from a larger sample size to interpolate and forecast more
specific customer behavior.
Create a
Disruptive
Market
New technology empowers companies to create completely new, disruptive markets. Uber ™ is a
perfect example — they used low cost mobile devices and applications to create an entirely new
approach to the age-old ‘livery’ business. Uber’s business model is so compelling that businesses
all around the world are using mobile devices and applications, and trying to emulate its success.
Offer Mobility
as a Service
(MaaS)
Software as a service (SaaS) is a popular cloud-computing model that delivers pay-for-play
business solutions. In the SaaS model, a solution provider hosts hardware and software on its
own infrastructure and delivers functionality it to customers as a service. Mobility as a Service
(MaaS) is similar — delivering all elements of a turnkey mobility solution to the customer,
including: devices and mobile apps as well as hosting back-end systems, data storage, device
management and support.

5. Different Mobility Goals —
Similar Mobility Challenges
At a high level, it doesn’t realty matter what a company’s mobility strategy is, or
how they intend to execute it. The more mobile users, devices, applications and
content they adopt, the more challenges they will have to deal with.
The Mobility Management Challenge
The explosive growth of smartphones and tablets has made business mobility
more complicated. There are many more makes and models of mobile devices:
smartphones, tablets, and special-purposes devices. They run on different operating
systems, and offer a broad range of capabilities and features. However, these new
devices have one thing in common, they are all powerful computing platforms that
let companies empower their remote workers with mobile applications and content.
All of these new variables, feature diversity, operating systems, applications and
content, have increased the mobility management challenge exponentially.
The New Technology Challenge
Securing and managing the multitude of devices that companies are deploying
can be difficult, but the Internet of Things (IoT) is only going to make it worse.
Experts predict that the global installed based of IoT devices will grow to 30 billion
in 2020, and over 75 billion by 2025*. Companies that are managing hundreds of
smartphones and tablets could soon be managing thousands, or tens of thousands
of endpoints. But, the challenge is not just about the numbers — the IoT will
introduce billions of ‘things’ with a diverse range of capabilities. Simple endpoints
like sensors for temperature and motion; more complicated devices like digital
signs, as well as health and wellness wearables; all the way up to expensive, complex
systems such as robots, connected cars and smart machines. The IoT presents
businesses with many management challenges, but a few of the most significant are;
the raw number of endpoints, their functional diversity and how they can connect,
communicate and collaborate to create complex systems.
The global installed
based of IoT devices
will grow to 30
billion in 2020, and
over 75 billion
by 2025*.

6. The App Development Challenge
Smart companies rely on mobile applications to drive the success of their
business. They are using mobile office productivity apps, e.g. MS Office 365, and
mobile versions of popular enterprise solutions, i.e. ERP, CRM, and SFA, but the
real game-changer is closer to home. Businesses are starved for custom apps
to help them streamline their line of business (LOB) workflows. Historically, LOB
apps are developed internally or outsourced to third party app developers, but
this is expensive and time consuming. Recent studies have shown that most
organizations require more than six months to spec out, design and develop a
single mobile app and the average cost is almost $150k (USD). When you multiply
this by ten to twenty, the number of mobile LOB apps an average business needs,
the task quickly becomes unmanageable.
The Remote Support Challenge
Another rapidly growing challenge for mobile-first companies is dealing with
remote worker device and application issues. These companies are often
supporting more smartphones and tablets than desktops or laptops, and device
issues are serious. Malfunctioning mobile devices have an immediate impact on
employee downtime and business productivity, but can have an indirect affect
on customer satisfaction, market perception and/or even create legal problems.
Gartner™ predicts that in 2017, approximately 50% of all Level One support
requests will be related to mobile devices*. Companies that are aggressively
pursuing the IoT will see an even greater demand for efficient and effective
remote support for their endpoints, sensors and devices.
The Mobile Business Data and Analytics Challenge
The growth of business mobility and the arrival of the IoT are creating massive
amounts of new data — both structured and unstructured data as well as all of its
meta-data. By 2021, an average smartphone will generate almost 7GB of internet
data per month, almost equal to a conventional PC**. Companies are hoping to tap
into this wealth of data and learn from it to improve their customer’s experience
and streamline strategic workflows. Not just the core data from mobile LOB
solutions, but also the metadata about the user, their mobile device or an IoT
endpoint (sensors & actuators). Having access to all relevant metadata makes
analysis easier and improves your chances of successfully changing your mobile
LOB workflows.
By 2017,
approximately
50% of all Level
One support requests
will be related to
mobile devices.*

Meet Mobility
Challenges Head On
Each of these challenges is easy to deal with on its own — enterprise mobility
management and help desk solutions have been around years. But, dealing with
all of them simultaneously, is much more difficult. If you don’t address all of the
challenges, you compromise the benefits of the ones you do. A business mobility
strategy is only as strong as its weakest link. For example, any advantage to
building mobile LOB apps quickly is mitigated by remote workers suffering from
frequent, extensive periods of downtime. Today’s mobile-first companies need a full
complement of mobile-first solutions.
Rapid Mobile Application Development
Mobile applications, especially custom LOB apps, are a critical component of business
mobility. Unfortunately, these high impact apps are often the most costly and time
consuming to build. Companies are looking for short cuts, and one possibility is the
application of a tried and true application development paradigm into the mobile
space. Rapid Application Development (RAD), and its mobile version RMAD, focus
on the rapid creation of working prototypes. This often means breaking a mega
project into smaller bite-sized pieces, building quick working models, testing, fixing
and repeating. An RMAD approach can eliminate the IT bottleneck for mobile app
development. Gartner estimates that by 2020, 70% of enterprise mobile apps used in
enterprises will be developed or adopted without IT involvement*.
Future-Proof Mobility Management
Mobility management is evolving. A few years ago companies wanted mobile device
management (MDM) solutions to secure and manage devices. Then, as device
capabilities grew, and mobile applications and content became more important, the
focus expanded to enterprise mobility management (EMM). Now with the arrival of
IoT, the market is changing yet again. In a few years, we can expect to see billions
of new, connected devices, “things” and endpoints. There may be dozens of new
categories of endpoints, but they all need to be secured and managed from a single,
unified mobility management solution*.
Mobile Optimized Help Desk
Keeping your workforce working is important for any mobility strategy. A key aspect
of this is fixing mobile device and application problems quickly, and reducing worker
downtime. Unfortunately, a lack of ‘mobile optimized’ solutions has made the remote
support of mobile devices much more difficult than traditional IT support. To date,
help desk technicians have not had the tools to expedite support – No remote view,
remote control, file-sync and forced updates/restart. A purpose-built mobile help
desk solution will solve mobile device problems faster, often on the first contact.

8. Security is More Important than Ever
A decade ago, when smartphones started to become popular in business, it didn’t
take long for companies to figure out that mobile security was essential. Empowering
employees with powerful, mobile computers and applications delivered amazing
productivity benefits, but it also created a lot of risk. The risks include: the costs
and inconvenience of physically losing a device, the legal liability of compromised
corporate data, and the potential exposure due to unauthorized network access. In
2014, over 2 million phones were stolen in the U.S., and another 3.1 million were lost*.
Now take that legacy risk, multiply it by ten or a hundred based on the raw numbers
of devices and endpoints you are deploying. Add in the fact that mobile devices have
become ripe targets of opportunity for malicious attacks and hacks. Then consider
the fact that many of these new IoT devices and endpoints were never designed with
security in mind. What does this all add up to? A potential mess. In the mobile-first
world end-to-end security is more important than ever. It needs to be designed and
built into your business mobility from the beginning, not bolted on at the end.

9. Together is Better
A comprehensive approach to solving business mobility challenges will pay off in many
ways. Firstly, you are not just shifting problems around; you are addressing their root
causes. A Pareto (80/20) approach may solve the biggest issue initially, but it can
also make it harder to solve the next challenge. Another benefit is that by adopting
an integrated solution, you make it easier to adjust to changing market conditions,
or retargeting your company’s mobility strategy. The mobile technology market is
changing quickly, and you need to be able to assess, adapt and overcome any and
all new challenges, whether they are externally or internally driven. Lastly, there are
efficiency issues and economies of scale. Fixing one mobility challenge at a time, will
cost more over time.
