Neo Breaking the IoT Logjam

On 18th December we hosted the final instalment in our Internet of Things Webinar series for 2018. Michele Farquhar, Tim Tobin, Mark Parsons, and Valerie Kenyon provided a round-up of the hot topics from 2018, including key regulatory and legal developments in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, in areas such as connected vehicles, drones, smart phones, medical devices, and many more. They also provided an insightful look into what developments and changes 2019 has in store.

Open discussion with Prof. Ahmed Banafa (San Jose State University) and Ed Maguire of Momenta Partners (NY). The conversation covered a lot of ground, focusing on #IoT from the perspectives of Technology, business and society. We discussed the different dynamics at play across consumer and enterprise technology, the regulatory backdrop, and the evolving demands around security safety and privacy. The dynamics of the IoT industry and details insights into the power of #AI and Machine Learning as well as #Blockchain technology. Looking forward we discussed the rise of quantum computing as one of the most consequential innovations ahead of us.

Today, IoT is not just a technology but the greatest mean to digitize business processes, tap into data for better decision-making, and gain competitive advantage. It is understandable that there are enterprises that want a full control over their technology, and thus they want to build their own IoT platform. However, on the other hand, there are some risks associated with it. Since the inception of IoT, building vs buying an IoT platform has been the topic of debate.

Enterprise-grade reliability should be built into every IoT solution. The best enterprises and technology vendors don’t just talk about reliability, scalability, and performance, they measure it with highly realistic and dynamic tools. And when performance problems are found, they fix them and continuously improve the quality of their IoT solutions. This ongoing process ensures excellent IoT solution performance and reliability for customers.
