can’t deal with all that data, computers can. We as humans just have to ask the right questions and
know what we are looking for. So when you look at IoT or better yet the Digital Transformation you
have to look at it from “Systems Thinking” prospective. A lot of the elements are already existing but
combine existing elements with new technologies and fast silicon you can get something special.
This web seminar digs into the business relevance of IoT as well as the complete IoT technology picture.
This is not a point solution technical web seminar. We are not going to talk about sensor hook up or
Hadoop verse SQL for data management or IA, or Machine Learning. We are going to discuss how the
entire system is set up. What the system produces and how to use that output. In the end IoT produces
Data, lots of it and automation. As an organization interested in selling IoT, providing solutions for IoT
or using IoT, you better understand what you want to do with the data you produce and how you will
drive productivity and value through the automation you set up.
