16. IoT App Requirements
• Ingest IoT data and analyze
for trends
• Operate autonomously when
possible
• Associate IoT events with
business data and documents
• Support multi-channel plus
new interaction models

18. What are the challenges of delivering IoT apps?
IoT requires rapid experimentation,
frequent iteration and close collaboration
between business and IT.
Lack of Agility
Teams often struggle to integrate the
heterogeneous mix of endpoints, IoT
services, and big data required.
Technical
Complexity
IoT requires hard-to-find skills spanning
multiple technology disciplines.Skills Shortage

19. Leverage a Low-Code Approach
Model-Driven Development
using shared communication
1-Click Deployment
of web & mobile applications
Agile Project Management
drives Business & IT collaboration
Central Application Governance
maintains IT control

20. Recommendations

21. Recommendations
1. Adopt a platform-based
approach to simplify IoT
development
2. Utilize best-of-breed IoT
and Big Data services as
needed
3. Create a Mode 2
organization if none exists
4. Begin experimenting today!
