The Private Equity Digital Transformation Show

Using external data in addition to your internal data is strategic. Besides public microservices, business systems, and IoT products, an emerging source of external data is the datamart, otherwise known as the data marketplace or data exchange – places where you can buy and sell data on the open market. But should you sell your data and are there any other options to do so? In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Tim Panagos about setting up your own datamart and the inherent value in doing so - even if you don't plan on selling anything at all.

Opensource software is mainstream. But opensource data? Yeah, and it can be found in a datamart near you. The thinking is, if you make your data freely available for all to use; all will improve it. It will be made more consumable, you will get feedback on how to use it and perhaps counterintuitively, you will learn how to value it. In this episode of the IoT Inc Business Show, I speak with Nicolas Terpolilli about applying the opensource ethos to data within the data exchange.

One of data science's dirty little secrets is the time spent data wrangling, that is accessing the data and then transforming it into a form compatible with your data tools and chosen analytical and learning models. Most agree this can take a full 75-80% of data science time. In this episode of the IoT Inc Business Show, I speak with Adam Mayer about data access and form when shopping at your local datamart.

We've all heard it before: garbage in – garbage out. This is especially problematic with IoT data where dirty data, data that is well-formed but wrong, can cause a butterfly effect chain reaction, polluting the data lake, resulting in bad decisions and bad business. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with James Branigan about what bad data is, how to identify it, stop it and then deal with the aftermath.

They say data is the new oil. Well if that's the case, then like oil, crude data must be refined and packaged to make it useful and consumable. If you believe, like I believe, that all incremental value from an Internet product comes from transforming its data into useful information, then external sources of data, when combined with internal data, can become very valuable, indeed. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with David Knight about third-party data markets and syndicates.

Business is all about creating value and then monetizing it, and it's no different in IoT. For companies to succeed in IoT, both value creation and value monetization must be mastered. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I share with you three lessons from the ICIP Business course. The first, an overview of the value creation framework, that walks through the four types of value creation in IoT. The next lesson is on one of the five classes of business models used in IoT – the Service business model. And the third lesson is an overview of risk management – the business counterpart to cybersecurity. This episode is a lot shorter than last week's but packs a big punch.

Every IoT product, system or environment I've worked on has pivoted. And I don't mean slight pivots, I'm talking 180 degrees or more. Why? Because the Internet of Things is new. New to the product builder and new to their customers. Because of this newness and the planning fallacy, it's important to take a highly iterative approach to development. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Jeff McGehee about agile development and how to use it most effectively when building a new IoT product.

It takes a lot, and I mean a lot, to get me to download yet another app on my phone, especially one that's going to try to sell me something… but, I'm open to Retail-IoT tech. I'm not much of a physical shopper, probably because I find the whole shopping experience so dreary, but this so-called offline-online convergence within retail has piqued my interest. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Oleg Puzanov about proximity marketing and where it's headed with IoT.

If you've been listening to my show for a while you know I'm a lover of IoT platforms. It just doesn't make sense to create your own plumbing from scratch – especially since there are so many beauties to choose from that sport business models that are so agreeable early on. But what about open source platforms – are they ready yet for primetime? In this episode of the IoT Business Show, I speak with Hans Scharler about where open source platforms are today, and when it makes most sense to use them.

The “IoT Platform” is such an overloaded term that its meaning has been lost. Chipset manufacturers, sensor manufacturers, software vendors, consortia and system integrators all have their own definitions. But if you come at it from enough angles eventually a form takes shape and you realize it means what you want it to mean and what is important is not its definition but the context in which it’s used. In this episode of the IoT Business Show, Dr. Sean Lorenz and I go through the elusive IoT platform and why the business problem is always the place to start.
