The Internet of Things (IoT) movement is invading businesses as employees bring smart devices into the workplace to solve their problems and get the job done more effectively. As this Enterprise of Things (EoT) environment emerges, organizations must be prepared to support diverse devices and workflows if they want to avoid becoming inundated with personal technologies invading corporate infrastructure.

2. IoT = THE INTERNET OF THINGS
The IoT is invading businesses as employees bring smart
devices into the workplace to get their jobs done more
effectively.
Organizations need to adapt and support diverse devices and
workflows…or become inundated with personal technologies
in corporate infrastructure.
EoT = THE ENTERPRISE OF THINGS

3. The EoT is entering the enterprise world in a similar way to the
bring-your-own-device (BYOD) movement. Most of the EoT
recognition only comes when users start leveraging personal
technologies that they find helpful, and businesses are trying to
respond on a case-by-case basis to make something work.

4. ENTER: BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT (BPM)

EoT
BPM software can empower organizations to maintain control over the
inevitable transition from the IoT to the EoT.
With BPM, you can create unique proprietary apps quickly and ensure data
workflows extend to users regardless of which devices they are using.

5. PREPARING FOR THE EoT
Most companies only recognize the EoT on a case-by-case basis,
as employees start to bring their own devices into work.
The reactive approach is to “hack together a solution”.
This won’t allow organizations to keep up with operational
demands long-term.

6. THE PROACTIVE OPTION
PREPARINGFORTHEEoT
GET AHEAD OF THE EoT MOVEMENT
Prepare to analyze data
gathered by IoT devices
in the workplace.
Information is meaningless if you
can’t analyze it.
Build security into your
design, don’t just tack it
on later.
Focus on apps and
services that let you put
EoT systems to use.
Hardware alone won’t drive much
value.

7. PREPARINGFORTHEEoT
Have a roadmap to building application, process, data and security
workflows that can keep up with end-user requirements.
As you start to run your enterprise more and more with connected
“things”, ensure that you plan ahead.

8. LEVERAGING BPM FOR THE EoT
When social media was on the rise in business, BPM software helped
companies go from using social tools to becoming social enterprises.
This same transition can happen as organizations work to go from
handling IoT in small use cases to integrating the fantastic
possibilities of connectivity into their operations on a deep level.

BPM solutions integrate emerging tools into apps and processes, and
make the transition to the EoT reality a smooth one.
Transforming to support the EoT requires a combination of procedural
and technological change.
