Monetizing the Industrial Internet of Things

Mobile Future Forward

I was privileged to moderate a panel discussion on monetizing Industrial #IoT at the Mobile Future Forward conference in Seattle. This year’s event focused on Connected Intelligence and the intersection of Man, Machines and Platforms.

I hosted a panel discussion on Monetizing and Scaling the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Wave with a distinguished panel of guests including:

  • Allen Proithis – President at Sigfox
  • John Aisien – CEO at Bluecedar
  • Russ Green – CTO and Head of Products at SAP Digital Interconnect
  • Adam Hertz – Vice President of Engineering at Comcast

In front of large audience we discussed a variety of important topics including:

  • Why is industrial IoT moving faster than consumer?
  • As the next generation of intelligent endpoints, how are the Mobile and IoT ecosystems blurring?
  • How do the various types of wireless connectivity options fit into IIoT solutions?
  • How do companies get IoT platforms integrated with their existing systems of record?
  • What should organizations be doing to secure their IoT infrastructure?
  • What are different ways companies can monetize IIoT?

We had a lively discussion with great questions from the audience. Chetan Sharma, the number one name in Mobile, knows how to put on a top tier conference and his insights were invaluable.
