Smart City Strategy and its Implementation
4.05.2017Smart city strategy and implementation evolves with technological advancements achieved over rapidly developing global spectrum of research and developments in the field of machine-to-machine (M2M), Internet of Things (IoT) and moving onto Internet of Everything (IoE).
Various online resources have made it clear that technology companies need to take rapid steps if they want to play in the highly lucrative Internet of Everything (IoE) domain. Having an IoE presence that considers economies of scale is a prime index to determine the return on investments. At the end of the day, the initiatives taken by pioneers in the IoE spectrum are sure to prove beneficial on a global scale with early adopters gaining the first mover’s advantage. For the majority of internationally acclaimed companies, IoE is a top priority and key to rapid growth and diversification of business with a global footprint.
Companies are embracing cutting-edge and evolving technologies in order to remain competitive in current and future markets. Corporations globally are leveraging enhanced hybrid connectivity, big data on robust platforms running in the cloud. They are further enhancing offerings by integrating to the social media providing a wide reach to ensure they maintain a competitive edge.
According to statistics published by technology research giant Gartner; in comparison with year 2009, it is estimated that the total IoE devices globally will reach 26 billion by the year 2020. This directly indicates an exponential surge in the smart devices and demonstrates the need for highly available and reliable infrastructure and bandwidth to handle IoE growth.
For most corporations, a key stakeholder considered in strategy design and implementation is the end user. The user is a focus during the design of any IoE platform to ensure an appealing UI (user interface) which provides complex data structures analyzed through intelligent analytic tools and portrayed onto dashboards which are easy to use and interpret. The gathering of data from multiple subsystems is a key evolution of large scale Information Communication Technology (ICT) solutions allowing the interaction of multiple assets in commercial, industrial and smart city solutions.
