The document discusses M2M, IoT, and digital platforms. It notes that IoT is a broader concept than M2M, as it involves the exchange of information between not only machines but also services and applications. It also highlights some of the challenges with the rise of IoT, such as the need for new communication standards, partnerships due to the complex value chain, and dynamic competitors. Finally, it provides an overview of Comarch's solutions covering connectivity, device management, applications, and digital services across multiple industries.

M2M vs IoT – from a different angle
Focused on the communication between
machines and applications using a network
Monitoring, controlling, or managing certain
machines
Acts automatically or on request
Smart home equipment, connected cars,
fitness gadgets, etc.
Broader concept
Exchange of information between not only
machines, but also social media services,
ERP applications, etc.
Focused on the information generated by
the ecosystem of multiple assets and the
usage of this information

Hinweis der Redaktion
Pokazac, ze w typowym podejsciu M2M wszystko jest ok, jesli kontekst dotyczy tylko tego wertykala, nie ma potrzerby wykorzystania danych z innego
Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) are terms that are often used interchangeably, as it has been unclear where the distinction between them really is. This is mainly because there is no formal definition of these two buzzwords; there are only some characteristics defined by the industry that show the difference between them.
M2M is focused on the communication between machines and applications using a network. Usage is focused on monitoring, controlling, or managing certain machines which act automatically or on request. Machines may represent devices such as smart home equipment, connected cars, fitness gadgets, etc. The machines on the opposite side of the communication represent applications which perform data aggregation, decisions, processing, presentations, etc.
IoT is a much broader concept encompassing the exchange of information between not only machines, but also social media services, ERP applications, etc. The focus is not on M2M communication, but on the information generated by the ecosystem of multiple assets and the usage of this information.

We can identify some basic payment flows in our scenario:
Flow A: the MNO is paying the Application Provider for the use of the Application PlatformFlow B: the MNO is paying the Device Provider for delivering the devicesFlow C: the MNO signs agreements with the Insurance Company and pays a fee for each agreement with End UserFlow D: the M2M Customer (“Inteligent Home Security” provider) is paying the MNO for a SIM card, connectivity, device, application and insurance
Flow E: the End User pays for this services to provider of “Inteligent Home Security”
The confidence that billing has to be associated only with a SIM card and a device is not valid any more!IoT has changed the way of thinking about billing processes, adding a significant number of new business models and cases. Finally, it’s not only about relations but especially the big volume of data generated in this environment
In the IoT world new services, prices, relations have to be introduced smoothly and rapidly.
And the whole end-to-end value chain can be really long and complex.
