<\/a>The Internet of Things. IoT. This term has been floating around blogs and business news for a while now. However, it seems that many people simply see it as a buzzword and don\u2019t really understand just what it means exactly. Neither did we, at first, so we\u2019ve done some research and want to share our findings with you. In a nutshell: the Internet of Things refers to the idea that more machines will be connected to each other through the internet than people. The IoT is all about the communication between devices, about connectivity that allows tech \u2018things\u2019 to share data without third party (human) interference.<\/p>\n The Internet of Things is about information, knowledge and wisdom<\/strong><\/p>\n In Microsoft\u2019s March\/April 2015 issue of Chief Executive magazine<\/a>, it is said that IoT is really about three factors that help improve existing business and data analysis strategies: information, knowledge, and wisdom. First, you need the information from the particular \u2018thing\u2019 that you are interested in, in this case data that is created and stored within the technology itself. This data can be turned into knowledge of an existing issue or problem. Finally, this knowledge leads to gaining the wisdom needed to fix the issue or improve the process. In the publication, Barb Edson, general marketing manager for Microsoft Cloud & Enterprise, says that it is simply \u201cabout taking a step back and understanding how you want to change your business \u201d. It other words, it seems that IoT is really about gathering the information you need to move your business forward, to innovate.<\/p>\n
