The scale and scope of IoT deployments in smart cities is a wonder to behold. Of course there is far more to smart cities than just IoT, from sustainable transport right through to connected citizens. But there are a number of cities that are leaping ahead in the way that
Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. I believe this quote by Thomas A. Edison captures the last few months very well. Over the summer, the EMEA team has explored the maturity of IoT amongst major European companies. Here in this
As IoT and Telematics become the cornerstone for our connected world the value of being connected humanly also increases. With the rapid technology development comes a disruption in society where collaborating around opportunities and risks becomes absolutely crucial in order to stay relevant. At SAS we are part of several
We know that strategy is a long term thing that changes rarely. For example, a company who produces an item, let say a car, has decided early on to do just this. Their strategy might be to manufacture exclusive cars, just to keep it simple. If we then look at
Artificial intelligence has been around for quite a while—research on it started in the 1950s, in fact. But it is only now that it is really moving beyond the pages of science fiction, and into the realms of not just reality, but usefulness. In part, this is because of recent
In May this year a great number of telecom operators gathered in Lisbon, the city of Fado, to discuss telecom fraud. Organized by the Communications Fraud Control Association (CFCA) and the Forum for International Irregular Network Access (FIINA), operators ranging from AT&T, Vodafone, Korea Telecom to Orange and Deutsche Telekom shed
Telecom operators lose annually up to a staggering $40 billion on fraud. And with the advent of the Internet of (Insecure) Things extending connectivity far beyond smartphones and tablets, our homes, cars, clothes and light bulbs can become little Trojan horses, vulnerable to security and fraud exploits. So how should the
As SAS, we are fortunate to work with some of the brightest analytics consultants in the world. Most of them are happy to share their ideas with the extended community, to inspire and encourage development of new use cases and improve analytics performance. Presentations at SAS conferences, ideas in SAS
The travel, transportation and hospitality sector is a big spender on the Internet of Things (IoT), spending an estimated $130 million on it last year. So what exactly are the use cases driving these investments? Self-driving trucks: Improving fuel efficiency and safety via ‘platooning' - In April 2016, over ten ‘self-driving’
Over the past 10 weeks, our experts have been in conversation with Internet of Things (IoT) deployment leads to understand critical success factors and challenges. One major finding stands out. Over and over again, we heard the same message: projects are at risk because of a shortage of data science
