This document discusses developing a future-proof IoT roadmap for connected devices and data. It notes that without context, data is meaningless, and that IoT is affecting all industries in varying degrees. The journey begins with basic connectivity, then enables data analysis and classification, leading to more complex analysis. Success involves embracing IoT strategically, thinking big but starting small, crawling before walking and running, and embracing the emerging digital ecosystem. An example case study describes a self-serve frozen yogurt machine that lowers barriers to entry through automated operation and real-time monitoring.

1. DEVELOPING A FUTURE-PROOF
IoT ROADMAP FOR CONNECTED
DEVICES AND DATA
Mark Benson, CTO, Exosite

2. “BIG DATA HAS ARRIVED, BUT BIG INSIGHTS HAVE NOT.”
– TIM HARFORD, FINANCIALTIMES

3. “BEHIND EVERY BIG FAILURE AT OUR
COMPANY, THERE WAS A MARVELOUS
SPREADSHEET”
-SCOTT COOK, FOUNDER AT INTUIT

4. THE REALITY IS THAT WITHOUT
CONTEXT, DATA IS MEANINGLESS

5. ANALYSTS ARE FUELING THE HYPE WITH
BIG-TIME PREDICTIONS
30 billion IoT devices in service by 2020 - IDC, 2015
50 percent of new business products and services with IoT elementsby 2020 - Gartner, 2016
$11 trillion of economicimpact via IoT technologies by 2025 - McKinsey, 2015

6. THE TRUTH IS THAT IoT IS NOT A
TRENDING INDUSTRY

7. IoT IS A TREND AFFECTING ALL
INDUSTRIES TO VARYING DEGREES

8. CREATING SMART CONNECTED PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES IS A JOURNEY

9. THE JOURNEY BEGINS WITH BASIC
CONNECTIVITY

14. EMBRACE
IoT AS A
STRATEGIC
DECISION

15. THINK BIG
BUT START SMALL

16. CRAWL,
WALK,
THEN RUN

17. EMBRACE THE
EMERGING

19. QUICK-SERVE FROZEN
YOGURT MACHINE
THAT DISPENSES A
CUSTOMIZABLE
FROZEN TREAT
WITHIN 30 SECONDS

20. AUTOMATED
OPERATION ENABLES
TRADITIONAL BRICK &
MORTAR STORES TO

TARGETED OFFERINGS

24. SUMMARY
Embrace IoT as
a strategic
decision
Think big, but
start small
Crawl, walk, then
run
Embrace the
emerging digital
ecosystem
