Developers hold the key to realizing IoT. What do enterprises need to know? Whatever your IoT vision is for the business, developers are the ones who are going to help make it a reality. We uncover the results of an extensive first-party research where we explore the current state of IoT and how it differs from popular perception. The webcast, led by Evans data and Apigee will address: - What is the current state of IoT development? - Is an IoT developer different from a mobile developer? - What expectations exist around APIs, big data, cloud? - How can enterprises realize value from IoT development decisions?

5. Agenda
• What is the current state of IoT development?
• Is an IoT developer different from a mobile developer?
• What expectations do IoT developers have around APIs, big data,
cloud, real-time processing, and security?
• How can an enterprise realize value from its IoT development
decisions?

6. What is the Internet of Things?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the
network of physical objects or "things"
embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity
to enable it to achieve greater value and service
by exchanging data with the manufacturer, operator, and/or other connected devices.

27. How can an enterprise realize value from
its IoT development decisions?
29

28. Realizing value from IoT
• IoT is more than wearables; focus on your valuable use case
• IoT isn’t just about mobile; think distributed system
• IoT isn’t just about sensors and actuators; think APIs, big data, and cloud
• IoT isn’t just about front end; think secure and scalable back end too
