1066RA The Role of Sensor Data in the Boundary-free Enterprise™
Authors: Alex Bakker and Mike West
Cloud, Mobile, and Social applications have competed for their places in the enterprise over the last few years. Now that these interrelated applications have emerged as part of the new master architecture, which Saugatuck has termed the Boundary-free Enterprise™, we believe that businesses will be able to refocus their IT teams to expand business capabilities, rather than concentrating so much of their time on renovating and maintaining existing systems (1054RA, The Emerging Master IT Architecture – Client / Server Gives Way to CMSA, 12 April 2012). We expect sensors and sensor data generated from real-world conditions and activities will be leveraged to enable IT departments to deliver real-time business value, and will make an important part of the expanding business and IT capabilities in this new Master Architecture.
