I just came back from a very successful trip to #Gartner and their Identity Management Summit. As a rockstar consultant, I am used to the throngs of people that gather for my pearls of wisdom. However, this year the crowds were out of control. I coupled the summit with a book signing as well and sold thousands of copies. But I digress. Let me explain the magic in more detail.
There will be more #IoT things than there are grains of sand on the beaches of the world. All of these #things will need context and connectivity. Without context there can be no connectivity and without connectivity there can be no context. So the two are different sides of the same coin, albeit the coin may be different. See what I mean? Therefore without a valid strategy encompassing agility, cloud, offshoring, and wage arbitrage your business is in deep trouble. Only automation and massive scale can help define and control the legions of end points that will soon be at your door step.
Hope this helps!
Sincerely, TCC
