Did you know that according to a leading analyst, that by 2020, over 50 billion devices are expected to be connected via the Internet of Things (IoT), sharing over 40 billion gigabytes of data. This means there is a lot of opportunity in leveraging this new technology to encourage customers to expand their Oracle footprint by using the Oracle cloud platform or Oracle tech stack to collect and sift through data, And customers might be interested in applying analytics to this data with one of Oracle's analytics offerings to understand and analyze data in order to make better and faster decisions. Oracle has been doing a lot of work and research around the use of IoT, so here's a summary of events and assets that are available on IoT.
