IoT Myths Debunked

Everyone loves a good myth. But sometimes myths get in the way of solving problems and unfortunately in the technology world, this can mean wasted time, money and resources.

The Internet of Things (IoT) buzzword is everywhere, as it should be. The IoT market is expected to grow from USD 170.57 Billion in 2017 to USD 561.04 Billion by 2022, according to the June 2017 MarketsandMarkets research report, Internet of Things (IoT) Market by Software Solution Platform, Application Area, and Region .

The problem is that these Internet ‘things’ have myths surrounding them, some of which are impacting how organizations develop the applications that support their businesses -- It’s time we bust these myths.

Solving Problem Apps

Consumers' demand for apps is mounting. However businesses hurry the app development process, lack a strategy behind why they are building an app, or don't test the app enough. The app goes to market, gets a ton of bad reviews from users, and is not a success. We call these 'problem apps'.

Reactive Systems

As we depend more and more on the internet, relying on legacy technology and trusting in traditional integration patterns won't cut it in today's app economy. The world of "traditional IT" has come to an end.

Push Internet Messaging and Oracle Event Processing

Today's data is constantly in motion, traveling in and out of databases, to and from connected devices, and across continents, all in less than a blink of an eye. This evolution of real-time data requirements represents a huge opportunity for app providers because it can power everything from critical health monitoring to in-game betting, as well as many new and growing use cases for the Internet of Things.

But capturing the value of real-time data in a mobile app is proving to be quite a challenge for developers.

In this paper we show how Push Technology's Internet Messaging technology, integrates with Oracle Event Processing (OEP) and Oracle Stream Explorer to deliver a real-time system for data analysis.

Instant Data Gratification

Web and mobile application technology has given rise to a new breed of customer – the constantly connected consumer, who is by definition better connected, more aware and technologically savvy. Businesses that are more astute will already have strategies in place to reach these customers. Others are still playing catch up and quickly realizing that there is no “one size fits all” solution.

Mobile Financial Apps

Mobile has transformed the financial services industry – it has reinvented banking, revolutionized communications with customers and increased the expectations that organizations can deliver instant information. Similar to the industrial revolution, we now face changes that are transforming our way of life.

Solving App Performance

Mobile devices have become as essential as house keys and wallets, in some cases even replacing them. This reliance on mobility, however, causes a new set of challenges for mobile application providers. End users are impatient, they want apps to perform at desktop or even real-time speeds. If an application does not, there are millions of other apps available to take its place.

Reactive Apps

Are you developing reactive apps?

If you want to deliver rich, real-time experiences - on mobile platforms - you need to think about the data optimization, responding to the network, going reactive in the way that you've developed applications and using contextual information to enrich those reactive experiences.

Mobile Development Models

Every business wants to provide services to their customers, wherever they are and whatever they are doing. Some do this through their website; others by using a mobile app. The challenge is that there is a multitude of different devices used by customers. So which devices should the app be supported on? Can all be supported? Are there features on some devices that could be used to make the app more engaging? Do we have the right skill sets in-house to develop an app that can be supported on all these different platforms?
