This article is a report on "Get started with IoT in your organization" webinar organized by Microsoft Azure. The webinar was broadcast live on Thursday, May 19, 2016, 3:00 PM - 3:45 PM IST and the host of the webinar was Kishore Shetty, Technology Solution Professional, IOT - Global Black Belt Team, Microsoft India. We are presenting the important takeaways from the webinar in a list format below.
From 1970-1990, cinema ticketing and banking was not much different from the customer's perspective due to the fact that a significant part of the job was done manually. Then, IT journey started with standalone software (VB, Java). After some time, they were replaced with distributed software (CORBA, RMI, MOM). With the spread of internet, they too were replaced by web-based and cloud-based software. IT is an integral part of most organizations at present and it touches every aspect of human life and society. Due to the spread of internet, the reach of IT has expanded, business processes are being delivered with convenience, precision, and consistency. Now, we can perform a transaction or purchase a movie ticket from our smartphone at the comfort of our home.
An important question for solution architects is, who is the most important of all, business, customer, or machine? The answer is the customer. This is the age of customers. The customer is the key.
What is IoT? This is how Microsoft defines IoT: "The Internet of Things (IoT) starts with your things—the things that matter most to your business. IoT is about making your data come together in new ways. Tap into data with IoT dashboards. Uncover actionable intelligence. And modernize how you do business." IoT has the power of delivering a transformative business model. IoT has 4 main components: Things, Connectivity, Data, & Analytics. Current industry trends suggest that "there is a shift from systems of record to systems of intelligence".
Why Now? "Forward-leaning businesses and individuals are connecting their things today to create new kinds of value". Due to the dramatic reduction in the cost of computing, storage, networking, & connectivity, and improvements in data analytics, it can be asserted that the age of IoT is approaching at a very fast pace.
Get started with IoT in your organization. Challenges in manufacturing businesses can be circumvented effortlessly with the application of IoT. We are living in the age of digital business transformation. In the past, the "things" were used inefficiently, they reported back to the enterprise in isolated communication channels. At present, almost all company assets can be connected and coordinated to ensure improved business outcomes and enriched consumer experiences. Enterprise and plant transformation is being implemented worldwide with the help of enhanced information systems powered by IoT. Four main goals of today's business leaders are: customer experience
improvement, cost and inefficiency reduction, revenue increase with existing assets, and creating innovative business models. If you are a business leader, then IoT can help you achieve these four goals in the most comfortable way. Microsoft champions three simple investment principles for IoT: provision of connectivity to all devices, new and existing; facilitation of novel insights by harnessing the power of untapped data; and enablement of fast solution development. Renowned organizations are benefiting from IoT all over the world. Lido Stone Works, ThyssenKrupp Elevators, Autolib, and Rockwell Automation are just some of them. There are four main ways of conceiving an IoT project: IoT Suite, IoT Hub, Custom Azure Services, & IoT ISV IP Based Sol. Azure IoT Suite enables you to connect assets, mine data, and take action. Azure IoT Suite addresses common scenarios, for instance, remote monitoring, asset management, and predictive maintenance. Azure IoT Hub enables companies to control millions of IoT assets running on a broad set of operating systems and protocols to kickstart their IoT ventures. IoT Hub supports connection to up to 10 million devices per instance. IoT is definitely going to bring radical change in the way organizations utilize IT.
