With IoT being a Hot Topic in this year’s educational breakout sessions, the Digital Farming Showcase, and the 2 IoT Pods on the main show floor there are many opportunities to explore all things IoT. Below we have highlighted the IoT events you do NOT want to miss at this year’s TechEd! • Live Studio Session - Wednesday, 9:15 – 10:00 Catch the interview with Diane Fanelli & Tanja Rueckert live from the show floor studio as they talk about the Internet of Things. • Strategy Talk: The Internet of Things and its Impact on Corporate IT - Wednesday, 10:30 - 11:30 Diane Fanelli and Tanja Rueckert will be discussing IoT and its Impact on Corporate IT. The Internet of Things is a major part of Digital Transformation. Businesses eager to embrace the changes have expectations that are sky high: technology must deliver and they are not prepared to wait. Those who elect to wait-and-see still need to move quickly when they deem the time is right. Organizationally, they need to be ready but legacy technology may trap them in silos. This session discusses what Corporate IT must consider to remain relevant in such challenging business environments. • Internet of Things (IoT) Lab (Tuesday – Thursday: 10.00am-6.00pm) Get a step-by step introduction to the IoT world through hands-on experience with hardware and software, and see how easy it is to connect to IoT services from SAP and SAP HANA Cloud Platform. • SAP IoT Showcase (Tuesday – Thursday: 10.00am-6.00pm) Don’t miss the ‘Digital Farming - Optimization with IoT, Telematics, and Predictive Analytics’ show case.
