unpatched
Features (or lack thereof)
are locked in
Software misconfigurations
risk downtime or bricked

9. Success in the Industrial Internet requires an ability to quickly and
iteratively deploy software to remote environments.
THOSE WHO SHIP CODE WILL SUCCEED
Patch vulnerabilities in hours, not
weeks or months (or worse)
Deliver features to customers
whenever and wherever
Turn insights into performance
improvements, immediately
Configure large fleets of devices
for consistency and reliability

10. SOFTWARE FOR DEVICES IS A NIGHTMARE
“The Web brought about the
end of the annual software
release cycle...The industrial
internet will bring about a
similar change in the physical
world.”
- O’Reilly, “Industrial Internet”
