The current landscape of Internet of Things (IoT) applications is extremely fragmented because we are still experimenting to discover the correct mix for our respective markets. Unfortunately in the IoT world, one solution does not fit all.We need much more clarity in understanding the challenges of IoT application development, both in terms of technical feasibility as well as business opportunities. In our talk we present a toolkit approach towards accelerating IoT applications by leveraging modular components that can effectively accelerate go to market for end solutions.

What is IoT ?
“Can I connect a smartwatch to the Internet and deploy an app?”
–a banking client
“IoT is just M2M reincarnated”
–a manufacturing client
“IoT is a self organizing system of peripheral systems providing new
and improved converged services”
–our architect

Challenges to IoT Solution Development & Deployment
- Solution delivery through a partner ecosystem
- Long development & go-to-market cycle
- Lack of domain knowledge for vertical solutions
- Diversity of devices, sensors and vendors
- Need for enterprise integration (including with legacy systems)
- Lack of standardization in the IoT world
- New & complex business models
- Policy-related issues in communication
- High capex for dedicated infrastructure

Enablement
Rapid
Information
Mash-Ups
Prototyping
(Fail Fast)
Customization
Use frameworks comprising of
inter-changeable solution
components that can integrate
with 3rd party components
Build solution components that
adhere to open and emerging IoT
standards (LW-M2M, IETF, OMA)
thereby reducing technology risk
Libraries of functionalities that can
be used to compose a solution
thereby accelerating development
Merge information from various
sub-systems and systems to
derive intelligent insights from
machine data, consumer &
social data and other data
streams
Design specific solutions that can
operate with existing systems
Use visual programing to focus on
the solution rather than the
integration and build prototypes
that fail fast
Reuse common infrastructure

Components of an Effective Toolkit
Devices
Intelligent hardware with low
footprint and cost that are
capable of sensing and driving an
array of wireless and wired
devices
Connectivity Framework
Provides connectivity between Smart
Devices themselves and between Smart
Devices & Central Server. In other
words, the removes the coupling
between the application and the
underlying devices
Analytics Framework
A framework capable of handling high-volume,
high-velocity data either in real-time
or in batch-processing. Provides complex
event processing, machine learning and data
visualization
Management Framework
Central server for device
management, service delivery and
application enablement
Mobility Framework
Deliver a lightweight mobile
experience across platforms (Android
& iOS) for information and insights on-the-
go
