Enterprise IoT: Strategies and Best Practices for Connected Products and Services

We are waiting for Howard Schultz book. He is the right person, in the right time to really recreate the USA that we all use to admire. I am sure the book will be great and will provide a lots of ideas for him and you Americans, to have Howard as candidate and hopefully winner of 2020 elections. We want to see America really GREAT and Howard can do that. I just pre ordered and will edit my feedback after read. I am sure will be an amazing book. Happy 2019 for all! Ricardo

IoT is the buzzword these days, but having Dirk Slama, as my colleague at Bosch, you can see clearly through all the changes and opportunities that are coming. Internet of Things brings together two fundamentally different worlds, the world of traditional, complex industrial production and the enthusiastic, fast-iterating, insight-driven software development. This book is an excellent read if you are about to transform your company into IoT-embracing business and need to understand both worlds. The structured approach helps sort things out, and enables you with a methodic approach to be prepared to turn upcoming opportunities in successful projects. The strategic future perspective makes the content of this book valuable for years to come. The various voices from global players and rising stars around the world help sort out the important things, though that tends to be repetitive sometimes, but thats in the nature of such interviews. I really liked the depth of the case studies, thats shows in-depth analysis of the solutions for the problems tackled so it can be re-used for similar cases.

This is very good to understand IoT and how it impacts in business ecosystems in enterprise settings.

Very good book

The internet of things (IoT) offers a lot of opportunities for enterprises to support existing business models and to create entirely new business models. However, it is not easy to gain an understanding of this broad topic, and to develop and implement IoT strategies for the own enterprise. This book provides both a good overview and detailed explanations of methods and technologies required for successful IoT initiatives.Hence, it will be valuable for many groups of readers, such as newcomers to the IoT, senior managers, project leads, and system architects. Newcomers will especially be interested in the first part of the book which introduces the basics and presents many case studies from areas, such as energy, industry, automotive, and smart cities.In the second part, the authors' IoT methodology "Ignite" is presented. It consist of two phases: strategy and solution delivery. While the strategy phase will be interesting for managers, the comprehensive explanation of the solution delivery phase are mainly relevant for project leaders and system architects. This phase is about planning and implementation of IoT projects, and the operation of the developed solution. In practice, this is often a challenge due to the different cultures of IT people and engineers.The third part describes the application of the Ignite methodology in a case study (management of industrial power tools).The book can be clearly recommended to anyone who is seriously interested in how to be successful in the internet of things.

The book is more about use cases, case studies and the methodology called Ignite. The book has many voices, all conveying the same messages and tends to be repetitive at times.The book seems to be targeted towards Executives who can gain value from the use cases, but from an design and implementation perspective, there is nothing related to Enterprise out here. The Ignite methodology seems more of a SOA based project plan with device integration.Apart from various key note contributions, which you can find online, unfortunately there is nothing interesting about the book.

This is the first book on Internet Of Things which I stumbled upon. It starts from very basic concept and builds on real life example including explaining the use cases where Internet Of Things will bring in disruption. This is a great book for novoices who want to understand how IOT will bring the change in day to day life and how it can be monetized.

This book is a good read for anyone looking to understand IoT and it's impact on enterprises. It contains a number of use cases and explains how these have been implemented within the enterprise and contains interviews and viewpoints from industry leaders. It explains the technical concepts within IoT and explains their uses and how these can benefit companies in a way which has not suitably been explained before by other publications.

Es un libro para aquellos que desean tener un panorama de donde aplicar IoT y como usar un framework propuesta para hacerlo.

L'IoT est un sujet "chaud" depuis 2-3 ans et le nombre de publications autour de ce thème croît de manière exponentielle. Je recherchais un ouvrage de fond sur l'Internet des objets et Enterprise IoT m'a satisfait.1/ Un livre sérieux et solideSans être un pavé (env. 350 pages), ce livre est très consistant. Divisé en une dizaine de chapitres, il contient principalement des études de cas autour de différentes applications de l'Iot (voiture connectée, ville intelligente...). Le propos des auteurs est très documenté (une centaine d'entretiens avec des professionnels du secteur), les sources sont précises et les arguments sont toujours appuyés par des chiffres ou des exemples précis. Ce livre est conforme aux standards de qualité de l'éditeur O'Reilly.2/ Une méthodologie pour les capitaines d'industrieComme son titre l'indique, ce livre est centré autour des enjeux stratégiques de l'IoT pour les entreprises et les managers. On y trouvera ainsi peu de jargon technique ou de considération pratique mais principalement des études de cas concrets. Les auteurs cherchent à donner aux managers un guide pratique pour implémenter une stratégie IoT dans une entreprise et cet objectif est, à mon sens, parfaitement atteint. en outre, le cadre de l'ouvrage est centré sur l'industrie. Les références des auteurs sont ainsi issues de ce monde (Bosch, IBM, Ford...). Les auteurs écartent ainsi volontairement le monde des start-ups et des acteurs de taille intermédiaire pour se focaliser sur la stratégie innovation des grands groupes. On laissera le lecteur discuter ou non de la pertinence de ce choix.3/ Pour un public avertiCe livre n'est pas destiné à n'importe quel public. Les entrepreneurs ou étudiants désireux de découvrir l'IoT n'y trouveront pas leur compte car l'ouvrage se destine surtout à des managers qui ont une certaine connaissance du thème et des enjeux industriels. Ce livre n'est pas non plus un ouvrage pratique et n'explique pas comment implémenter physiquement une solution IoT. Le livre est parfois répétitif et les auteurs répètent souvent leurs conclusions en les transposant d'un champ à un autre.Ce livre reste toutefois une lecture de qualité et gagnerait à être davantage lu. Les auteurs s'éloignent du bruit et de la fureur de l'IoT pour se concentrer sur ses aspects stratégiques et industriels. A ne pas mettre sur toutes les tables de chevet mais trouvera sa place entre les mains des capitaines d'industrie et des managers.

On the one hand a very comprehensive introduction of the IoT topic but on the other hand also a lot of interesting projects which can be used as references in ongoing discussions.

The shown cases have a slightly interesting back ground; but what really concerns on this book is that it is more a Bosch book rather than an independant and informing IoT book
