IoT Enterprise Solutions

This opening talk of the IoT Enterprise Solutions track will give a good overview of the market trends and it will give you an idea of what to expect from the day.

• Where are we today with the deployment of IoT Solutions?
• How do we move from pilots to roll-outs and larger scale projects?
• Highlights of value generation for customers
• Key recommendations and takeaways

Digital transformation is the integration of digital technology into all areas of a business, fundamentally changing how you operate and deliver value to customers. This panel will discuss examples of how enterprises have successfully employed IoT to digitally transform their businesses.

• What role can integrating IoT play in improving service delivery, health and safety and efficiency?
• What else can IoT vendors do to aid digital transformation within their customers businesses – discussing future technologies and directions.

This talk from Sigfox will focus on:

1. From a linear to an integrated Supply Chain.
2. Understanding the pain points.
3. Extracting meaningful data.
4. Maximising return on investment.

In the next 4 years, more than 50% of enterprise applications will be IoT-enabled. To make this digital transformation possible, enterprise networks can help solving two industry problems. First and foremost, connected objects are insecure by design, since they can’t run any security software, and therefore open doors on networks. Secondly, each IoT vendors has its own management platform. Enterprise IT cannot afford to manage such multiplicity of platforms. Only simple, automated and secure network solutions can manage the scale of the problem as well as deliver analytics and features like the tracking of assets, quality of experience or home automation.

It’s not IoT technologies and platforms that drives a competitive advantage, it’s the integration to business strategy and outcomes that differentiates and creates value for the enterprise.  What are the best practices to achieve it?

We modernise our technology but not our organisations, a cultural change is needed in how industries approach technology innovation and implementation. Innovation is the key to progress, but it tends to be lacking in the digital age, why? This talk will look at key places to start including:

• Empowering people
• Dangers of Digital Amnesia
• Value first not technology
• Our perception of change vs reality

• Breaking silos – barriers to entry
• How to evaluate new technologies for your business
• Understanding the risks
• How to make strategic decisions that are right for your company, not just your technology strategy

This panel on securing the IoT Ecosystem will focus on:

• What are the most important considerations for an IoT device manufacturer when it comes to security?
• Are there other complimentary emerging technologies which IoT could collaborate with to change the game?
• Is transparency between users and manufacturers the key to truly secure ecosystem?
• What are some best practice recommendations as we navigate the IoT era?

Device security is not a new consideration; however it is still not always executed correctly, what needs to happen within the industry for this to change?
