2017 Innovation Showcase: All About IoT

The Enterprise Connect 2017 Innovation Showcase will put a spotlight on Internet of Things solutions for the enterprise.

Each year the Enterprise Connect Innovation Showcase introduces new companies to the EC audience.

IoT refers to a world of smart, connected objects. The emerging IoT ecosystem includes products, services, and API-based cloud platforms, and it is experiencing explosive growth. The actual IoT products themselves are benefitting from decreasing costs of sensors and bandwidth. Connectivity is expanding, with direct Internet options as well as a variety of new radio technologies. On the back end, breakthroughs in big data and analytics, as well as cloud compute services, are driving growth.
