Aeris launches to Guide to IoT for Business
Syed Hosain, Aeris
IoT service and technology provider, Aeris, has published a new eBook called the Definitive Guide to IoT for Business. The book aims to give executives and project managers a solid understanding of IoT while elaborating on the main drivers behind what makes the burgeoning ecosystem work.
The book, authored by Aeris’ chief technology officer, Syed Zaeem Hosain, addresses the need for a broad, yet comprehensive guide, that enables business decision-makers to better navigate the potential pitfalls as well as capitalises on IoT opportunities.
“I approached this book with the enterprise in mind, and wanted to provide a deeper dive on IoT in an approachable and informative way,” said Hosain. “I hope to give readers a better understanding of important IoT concepts, while providing an overview on how IoT systems connect, interact and ultimately impact an organization.”
Topics addressed in the eBook include:
- The technology that connects the IoT
- How wireless devices are networked and locate themselves
- Different types of sensors, how they work, and what they do
- An overview of security technologies used to protect IoT data
- How to scale an IoT project to immense proportions
- How to manage the lifecycle of an IoT deployment
- Using big data analytics to gain insight from the IoT ecosystem
“Over the years, I found that there is a lack of information and awareness of exactly what it takes to bring a connected solution to market, and it has been the number one hindrance to realizing those world-changing ideas,” said Stefan Lindvall, the chief executive of MultiTech Systems and Connected Development, in the book’s foreword. “If you’re in the business of IoT or looking at starting up a deployment, this book is for you.”
According to recent research commissioned by Aeris in partnership with research firm Vanson Bourne that involved more than 300 IT-decision makers across the US and the UK, 74% of respondents indicated IoT provided their organisations with the opportunity to better meet key business objectives. 71% agreed IoT would help them achieve a competitive edge. However, despite the optimism, the consensus is that the opportunities will be met with challenges, with 78% citing connectivity, provisioning, and device management as perceived challenges in the year ahead.
