The Internet of Things: smart products and services

With over 50 billion connected devices expected by 2020, the Internet of things (IoT) is poised to have a major impact. IoT encompasses any object with a unique identifier that can be connected in an Internet-like structure and communicate with similarly tagged objects. IoT promises to bring increased visibility into products, processes, customers and partners—and significant benefits in terms of reduced costs and improved efficiency; greater speed and scale; and the ability to create new smart products and services.

For businesses to take the greatest advantage of IoT, they will need to define a comprehensive approach to unifying a wide array of devices within the data center with one goal in mind: extract the most useful insights as quickly as possible, and turn those insights into action. In particular, disruptive potential comes from the ability to deal with vast quantities of data in raw form. This is where Oracle’s technologies are increasingly on target. Oracle Internet of Things Cloud Service empowers organizations to collect, route, and analyze data from sensor-based and other IoT devices. This equips organizations to prepare themselves for the onslaught of data coming their way as the industrial internet takes hold.

Part of the extensive Oracle Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings, the Oracle IoT Cloud Service enables companies to securely connect to any device generating data; perform real-time and predictive analytics on device data; and extend business processes within enterprise applications. It also allows them to rapidly build IoT applications for preventive maintenance and asset tracking using pre-built integrations with Oracle PaaS and third-party and Oracle Software as a Service (SaaS) applications.
