anywhere
on any device
EM is much more than BYOD
which often results in Bring Your Own Lack Of Security
Enterprise Mobility:
an embedded approach
A major shift in the enterprise:
from desktop computing to user-based computing
The device revolution is happening at an unprecedented rate

Some facts:
“The number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on
an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years”
Intelligence can be embedded in very small devices...
Any preference?
Vs.
IoT today
Enable communication between
devices to exchange useful information
that create new value for human needs.

IoT :
Intelligence can be embedded in very small devices...
Some more familiar examples
IoT perspective
Things with identitities and virtual
personalities operating in smart spaces
using intelligent interfaces to connect
and communicate within social,
environmental, and user contexts.
Sensors Internet
The Connected Car
Each New Connection or Device Adds a Potential Target
WIRELESS ROUTER Online entertainment
Mapping, dynamic re-routing, safety and security
CONNECTED SENSORS Transform “data” to “actionable intelligence”
Enable proactive maintenance
Collision avoidance
Fuel efficiency
URBAN CONNECTIVITY Reduced congestion
Increased efficiency Safety (hazard avoidance)
Big Data becomes Open Data for Customers, Consumers to Use
