Why the Internet of Things?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is predicted to be the next big thing in technology and will be the most important factor impacting fundamental business logic in the coming decades.

There are now about 4.6 billion connected devices excluding phones, tablets, and laptops. A number that is expected to increase to 15.3 billion in the next five years according to the Ericsson Mobility report. A recent study released by Gartner says that 43% of all companies are using or plan to implement an IoT application.
