a long time
So why do we need to do things differently?

3. Lack of interoperability = -$$$
Duplication of functionality = -$$$
Inability to share resources & infrastructure= -$$$
Inability to adapt and modify = -$$$
Old vs. New in M2M

Old methods lead to increased costs

4. Instead, systems have to collaborate
• Better reuse of existing resources and infrastructures = +$$$
• Focus on whole business, not individual processes = +$$$
• Improved ecosystem efficiency from new dependency discovery = +$$$
• More intelligent use of assets = better ROI = +$$$

• Poll/Response Paradigm uses 100% of available bandwidth
• The data “Transport” is the “Application”
• One protocol for all field equipment limits deployment of new
technology & impedes migration to new technologies

11. So what about today?
Sometimes M2M Solutions look simple …
Business
Application
Sensors,
Actuators,
Displays, …
Service
Gateway
A single application
to communicate with
Only one type of Gateway HW
& SW, Single or no special
application on gateway
Limited types of
device / sensor
No connectivity
options required
Often, an M2M system is seen as a
point in time solution to a point in time
problem. No consideration (budget) is
given to how and where else the data
might be used, or to how future,
undefined assets might share the
same infrastructure.
This project led thinking remains one
of the fundamental contributors to the
continuing specification and
deployment of silos of automation,
invariably resulting in significant
downstream costs to modify, augment
or replace the system to meet
emerging requirements.

propositions, and which are geographically dispersed

20. M2M Integration Platform
• Everyware Cloud is about Device Data, about M2M: It has been built
from the ground-up to provide an infrastructure that is optimized for
device data communication, collection, analysis and management.
• It is an Integration Platform: Everyware Cloud is designed to act as an
intermediate system between distributed devices and the applications
interacting with them. Communication is bidirectional, allowing
applications to control and manage the devices when required, and the
system supports one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-one operation.
• Everyware Cloud is conceptually like an Operating System for the
Internet of Things, enabling the transfer of device data to and from
Enterprise applications independently of any other language, platform or
OS

24. Eurotech M2M Solutions
Eurotech Named a Cool Vendor in Gartner 2013 IT/OT
Alignment and Integration Report
According to the Gartner report recommendations,
“Integration managers should look at cloud-based integration
platforms supporting vendor neutral-technologies to optimize
costs, accelerate time to deployment, and reduce vendor
lock-in for integration of OT systems with enterprise
applications.”
“Integration managers and other IT leaders involved in the
definition and planning of IT/OT integration strategies should
look at iPaaS-oriented approaches to address the issues of
collecting, aggregating, filtering, preprocessing and analyzing
OT data, and of integrating OT systems with back-end
enterprise applications as a way to optimize costs and time
to deployment,” according to the report.
Gartner, Inc., Cool Vendors in IT/OT Alignment and Integration, Kristian Steenstrup, Massimo Pezzini, et al, April 23, 2013.

25. Eurotech's M2M / IoT Value Proposition
• Gartner / Cool Vendors in IT/OT Alignment Report
“However, they should also favor providers, such as Eurotech, that offer open-standards-
based platforms, and can support on-premises deployment models to minimize vendor
lock-in issues and maintain strategic agility.”
• Eclipse Foundation / M. Milinkovich
“I just got the full Eclipse Kura demo and I was blown away. Very cool stuff.”
• VDC Research Group
“With two decades of embedded/M2M experience, existing capabilities, and investments,
we expect Eurotech to differentiate itself versus other traditional embedded board vendors
as the company moves up the value chain.”
• Harbor Research, White Paper
“Eurotech has organized a novel combination of tools and technologies that work together
in unprecedented ways to solve more complex business problems than previous
generations of intelligent device networking technology and enterprise applications have
been able.”
