What Is Needed to Make IoT Work To make the Internet of Things work properly, it helps to

break it down into some basic core requirements: IoT provides solutions to solve very specific
and well-defined problems, and the sheer number of moving pieces is so large that a clear end-
state vision must be in place; for example, the faster turnaround times of planes and less gate
time, quicker responses to medical emergencies, or faster responses to weather-related issues.
This core requirement includes the sources of data (the single version of the truth or even
federated) and the precise answer and insight that data intends to yield. This insight will trigger
very specific workflows, which are critical because Understanding What the IoT Ecosystem Will
Achieve: Data and Analytics: false positives will be more expensive than the costs the company
is seeking to save. This involves identifying the necessary characteristics to make the system
work. What are the sensors measuring? What is the frequency of transmission? How do you
troubleshoot sensors if they are not producing the proper data? This determines all the links that
must be established to gain that desired precious efficiency. Once you determine the answers,
what remedies must result from that insight? Many organizations have complex workflows and
processes that must incorporate IoT insights in order to achieve the desired result.
