The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it

Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing

IoT is the driver of Business Innovation

IoT is key to 1- the “Uberization” of everything2- increase customer’s engagement & retention 3- maximize assets utilization while minimizing waste

better products, new services and ready for the outcome economy

Companies in every industry need to assume that a software revolution is coming… Marc Andreessen

Innovator Dilemmas: Products Dematerialization & Value Chains Deconstruction

GE CEO Jeff Immelt told his troops last year:

“If you went to bed last night as an industrial company, you’re going to wake up this morning as a software and analytics company.”

Data and the 4^ Industrial Revolution
