An Effective Device Strategy to Accelerate your Business

1. Does your line of business use or plan to use devices?

2. Predic6ons suggest BIG usage numbers.

4. Predic6ons can be … hmm..

5. But have you no6ced what your compe66on is doing?

6. This is what Intel is thinking..

19. Business Planning
• Who are you? / Who do you want to be?
Device Manufacturer Develops hardware, basic so_ware showcasing
device capabili6es
Applica6on Developer Build IoT applica6ons on top of exis6ng
hardware
System Integrator Integrates IoT applica6ons together to bring
greater value to an industry
Device User End users/enterprises using devices and
applica6ons for business / personal tasks

20. Business Planning
• Who are you? / Who do you want to be?
– Device Manufacturer
– Applica6on Developer
– System Integrator
– Device User
• Which Industry and Market ?
• Target customer or business engagement

21. Build Strategy
• Device Manufacturer
– Example decisions to make
• Robustness (indoor use, outdoor, opera6ng temperatures)
• Exis6ng protocols or develop new
• Use exis6ng chipset or design new
• Security
• Power consump6on

22. Build Strategy (contd..)
• Applica6on Developer
– Example decisions
• Which device(s) to choose
• Choosing a so_ware plaaorm (or building from scratch)
– Device Management
– Data Storage & Analy6cs (real 6me, batch, machine learning),
dashboarding
– Integra6on capabili6es (standards, built in connectors)
– Security
• Applica6on Distribu6on - App Store?
• Applica6on logic vs power consump6on

23. Build Strategy (contd..)
• System Integrator
– Example decisions to make
• What is the integra6on plaaorm to use? Or build one from
scratch?
• Security
• Protocols / connectors / message formats to support
• Delivery / transac6on guarantees / message brokering
• How to perform analy6cs?
• How to expose APIs?
• How to create dashboards?

24. Build Strategy (contd..)
• Device User
– Example decisions to make
• Is this the right device?
– Func6onality, power consump6on, mobility, security
• User friendly applica6on?
• Data (ownership, security, retrievability, ..)
• Ownership - BYOD / COPE

25. Opera<onal Strategy
• Device Failure Detec6on
• Anomaly Detec6on
• How to push firmware/so_ware updates
– Push
– Pull
• How to reset?

26. A Typical IoT PlaForm Deployment

27. Scaling Strategy
• Where to scale?
• How to scale?
• PaDern recogni6on
– Usage paDerns
– Failure paDerns
• ThroDling
• Server vs Edge compu6ng

28. Support Strategy
• What to do when a remote device fails?

29. Value Crea<on Strategy
• How to measure the impact of device integra6on?
• How do you stop your product or service from degrading in
value?
• How to capture new values and get a compe66ve advantage?
• Capture new insights and increase diversifica6on (E.g. Retail)

30. Sustainability - Technology
• IoT is a rapidly evolving space
– New devices
– New processing capabili6es
• Is the plaaorm open enough to connect?
– New devices
– New systems
• Is there a vendor lock-in?
– License fees paid upfront for N years ahead
– Who owns the data?

31. Sustainability - Data Security

consumer-privacy-concerns/

32. Sustainability - Data Security
• Are apps (mobile) wriDen using containeriza6on?
• Where is data stored?
– App and data are separated?
– Who has access to data?
– Data Filtering technique
• Applica6on level or data storage based?

33. Sustainability - Legal Challenges
• Privacy and security
• Regula6ons in different parts of the world
• Chain of liability
• Complex ownership scenarios
• Availability of bandwidth and net neutrality
• Automated contracts
