2. Solutions and Finance
Over €2bn turnover
8,500 staff
19 countries Europe and N. America
40 years experience

3. Agenda
IoT issues facing adopters
Investment in researching solutions
Understanding the implications
Finance the project and contingency
Security during the usage period
Technology upgrades and maintaining commercial advantage
Security at end of life
Example devices
Close

4. Understanding the implications
Real time information, what are the returns?
Location and user based targeting - pertinent to needs?
Collect and use the information – space, revenue,
protecting a client base
Real time monitoring – safety, compliance, failure
avoidance

5. Finance the project and contingency
Pilot, then roll out – basic, then wider scope, or big bang?
Up front investment, stress testing, upgrade, launch when
ready
Unforseen costs, growth higher than planned, integration
Temporary implementation / people costs
Project Rental Agreement / Technology Refresh Option

6. Security during the usage period
iPad locks for display / charging
Shared devices vs 1 device per user, encryption options
Customer data – local or real time updates?
“Self destruct” settings
Tagging and “open” information (RFID, false shoplifting,
share / don’t share)
Personal devices – allow or disallow?

7. Technology upgrades and
maintaining commercial advantage
Fresh ideas and faster results
Storage considerations – growth, performance,
real time or batch processing

8. Security at end of life
All storage to be securely wiped
MFPs can hold confidential information
Communications devices should be cleared of any security
standards/methods
SatNav and in-cab technology – routes, customers friends
and family
Destruction of intellectual property – RFID, hand held
devices, configuration, swipe cards, fingerprints, retina, etc
Blancco, shredding, degauss, punch even incineration
Audit trails, asset management, clearance BC, CTC

9. Example equipment
Cameras, recording equipment
Smart meters
Hospital facilities
Mobile engineers / workshop technology
Digital voice recorders
Remote control, capture and report
