Introduction to the Internet of Things (IoT)

“The Internet of Things has the potential to change the world, just as the Internet did. Maybe even more so.”

• Kevin Ashton, Tech Pioneer that Coined the term IoT

What is the Internet of Things?

A few years ago, Gartner forecasted that there would be 20.4 billion things connected to the internet by 2020. This network of physical objects or things that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems through the internet, constitutes the Internet of Things or IoT.

What can IoT do for Businesses?

IoT is not a new concept; the term was coined in 1999 by Kevin Ashton. Interest in IoT has skyrocketed now that technology has become more economical. Companies across the spectrum are investing in the possibilities offered by IoT. Fortune 100 companies like GE, Google, and Cisco are investing in IoT. Even Oracle offers information on its benefits, such as:

• Deriving data-driven insights from IoT data to help better manage the business
• Increasing productivity and efficiency of business operations
• Creating new business models and revenue streams
• Easily and seamlessly connecting the physical business world to the digital world to drive quick time to value
