Applying IoT to BI

BI, or business intelligence, is changing, as a result of the IoT (Internet of Things). Data is a new kind of currency in today's connected world, and it seems like just about everything we do in life and business generates data and it's not just humans that are generating data. We are seeing all kinds of connected machines and smart devices generate unfathomable amounts of information every minute of every day. The real question is what happens to all of this data? Answer: it depends on the context, but a lot of it falls by the wayside. We don't need all of it, of course, but some of this data can go a long way in helping companies do business smarter.
