IoT to the Futureby mike stowe


People say the “internet of

things” is the future…


It’s not.


The “internet of things” phase

has past. Now we’re in the

“integration of things.”


Otherwise known as the

“innovation of things.”


Companies and technologies are

changing rapidly…


And the barrier to entry has

essentially been erased by

crowdsourcing and SaaS/

microservices.


IoT is no longer about building

“gadgets,” but survival.


IoT has already disrupted…


Entertainment.


Education.


Health.


Transportation.


Lodging.


IoT is about meeting people

where THEY ARE when THEY

WANT your services.


If you aren’t willing to do that,

you can be sure your

competitors will.


IoT is less about devices, and

more about your architecture.


You cannot keep up with technology

if you don’t plan for IT.


APIs are key to success.


Imagine multiplying your

developer team by

THOUSANDS


Imagine being able to

innovate and adapt

on the fly.


Imagine…


APIs are about unlocking,

sharing, and protecting

your data and services.

But…

we’re bad at learning

from our mistakes.


If we treat APIs like SOA,

we’ll end up in the exact

same place.


We need to be smarter,

faster, better.


We need to understand

that APIs are contracts.


Careful API Design with

tools like RAML is critical


Modularization and

Scale is too.

Spaghetti is best left as a

pasta…


Have an integration

strategy.


Both internally AND

externally.


Remember, plan for APIs

– not specific devices.


You can keep up with

your APIs…
