Amazon Echo: great tech present for your tech-averse parents!
Never let it be said that I get serious about my Christmas shopping until about this date!
This year, my major suggestion is about a product that it took me a full year to buy after my mother-in-law of a certain age sent last Christmas’s check: never let it be said that I rush into purchases […]
Siemens’s MindSphere: from automation to digitalization
Perhaps the most important component of a successful IoT transformation is building it on a robust platform, because that alone can let your company go beyond random IoT experiments to achieve an integrated IoT strategy that can add new components systematically and create synergistic benefits by combining the various aspects of the program.

Siemens’s Mobility Services: Trains Become IoT Labs on Wheels
As those of you who know rail history understand, with Stephenson as your last name, you’re bound to have a strong interest in railroads! Add in the fact that I was associate producer of an award-winning documentary on the subject back in the early 70’s, and it’s no wonder I was hooked when I got a […]

Keynoter is Peter Sondergaard, Sr. VP, Gartner Research:
start with high-scale traditional IT structures, but with new emphasis on cloud, etc. IT system now partially inside your org. and part outside. We […]
Circular Company: Will Internet of Things Spark Management Revolution?
Could the IoT’s most profound impact be on management and corporate organization, not just cool devices?
I’ve written before about my still-being-refined vision of the IoT — because it (for the first time!) allows everyone who needs instant access to real-time data to do their jobs and make better decisions to share that data instantly — […]
Amazon Leads IoT With Comprehensive Services, Platform & Devices!
Several months ago I predicted that Amazon’s Echo might become the IoT’s killer device, primarily because it is voice activated. It appears that prediction is coming true, which should give the entire consumer IoT a boost because Amazon is also providing a soup-to-nuts approach of devices, platform, and storage meeting a wide range of IoT […]
Zoe: perhaps even better than Echo as IoT killer device?
I’ve raved before about Echo, Amazon’s increasingly versatile smart home hub, primarily because it is voice activated, and thus can be used by anyone, regardless of tech smarts — or whether their hands are full of stuff. As I’ve mentioned, voice control makes it a natural for my “SmartAging” concept to help improve seniors’ health […]
