Technology has been transforming our World for Millennia, from the Invention of the Wheel around 3,500 B.C., through Archimedes´ Screw and the Steam Engine, to the Internet. These and other Innovations have delivered Huge Benefits to our Societies in terms of Prosperity, Health, and Knowledge.... The World Economic Forum has recognized this with its “˜Shaping the Future of Digital Economy and Society´ Initiative, which focuses on building a Sustainable, Inclusive Future. The IoT is a Key Part of that Initiative, and will be Critical in accelerating Progress towards the United Nations´ 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which include Eradicating Hunger, Ensuring Good Health, and Delivering Clean Water and Energy Globally.

The Internet of Things is transforming every Corner of Life: the Home, the Office, City Streets and beyond. IoT Products give us Greater Control over Door Locks, Lights and Appliances; offer Insights into Resource Consumption Habits; streamline Business Processes; and better connect us to the People, Systems and Environments that shape our Daily Lives.... Many "Entry-Level" IoT Products fit smoothly into the Patterns of Daily Life by simplifying Routine Tasks. A Truly Smart Home is full of Products that know your Preferences, anticipate your Needs and respond dynamically to your Behavior, so you can spend less time micromanaging your House and more time living in it.

The IoT has a lot to offer Businesses, both for Tech Firms looking to get in on the Actions and for the Numerous Industries that are being transformed by the Injection of Smart, Connected Technology into Manufacturing Processes, Supply Chains, Customer Engagement, Performance Tracking and other Areas. Today's Companies need to take Full Advantage of IoT Devices, Platforms and Tools to build Business Models that will thrive in a more Connected World.

Since its Inception in 1998, Open Source has become the De-Facto Standard for Software Development and proven itself as a Viable Business Model. While making Source Code Freely Available for Redistribution and Modification may seem Counterintuitive, the Success of Companies like Red Hat and Canonical are Proof that an Open Source Model can turn a Profit. Investment from Multinational, Enterprise Companies like Google, Facebook, and Adobe, points to the Growing Value of Open Source and its Longevity. It should come as no Surprise: at the Heart of Open Source is Fast-Paced Innovation in the Form of Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing. When everyone is encouraged to work together, the Rate of Progress is Greatly Increased.

External Collaboration with Customers, Partners or Suppliers can yield Tremendous Competitive Advantage and boost a Company´s Bottom Line. However, Companies have to use a Systematic Approach to develop a Sound and Successful Strategy for building Collaborative Ecosystems and Communities.... So, Business Users are collaborating and creating their Own Ecosystems and Networks of Collaborative Interactions with Partners and Customers. However, much of it is ad hoc and done with Tools that aren´t owned or managed by the Enterprise.... Many Enterprise Collaboration Systems were designed only for Internal Collaboration, but External Collaboration is also a Natural Part of doing Business, and doing it Successfully can improve your Bottom Line.
