BIG DATA – HOW TO CREATE EFFICIENT USE OF BIG INFORMATION FLOWSM2M-09
Moore’s Law states that the value of the network increases exponentially in relation to the number of endpoints. But the true value in M2M is not in the network or in connecting devices, it lies in the data that is being collected and by tying together multiple sensor data streams into mission critical applications like asset management, ERP, and CRM.
2:00-2:45pm
Thursday - 10/04/12
TO THE CLOUDS: HOW THE CLOUD PLAYS A ROLE IN M2MM2M-10
While wired M2M has been around for decades, more intelligent endpoints in small form factors and ubiquitous reliable highspeed wireless networks have placed M2M at an evolutionary crossroads.

Just about every company offering an M2M solution, whether it is a hardware manufacturer, an integrator, or a service provider, has created some sort of “cloud” platform. We’ll explore how the cloud reduces the complexity and shrinks the deployment costs for those organizations willing to embrace it and the change that comes with it.
3:00-3:45pm
Thursday - 10/04/12
THE INCREASING VARIETY OF M2M ENABLED DEVICESM2M-11
We’ve entered into an era that any device that can benefit from being connected is or will be connected to the Internet and to other devices. It’s important to always bring the right tool for the right job. While form factor is important, form must follow function.

DOMESTIC VS. INTERNATIONAL: CHALLENGES POSED BY GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIESM2M-16
M2M applications connect businesses and services providers together to create a smarter enterprise leveraging new intelligence from data collected remotely in the field. However, for many large organizations, the “field” can be as vast as the planet. As M2M is often a global deployment operation for many companies, unique challenges between international operations, service capabilities, and geographic boundaries must be addressed to ease the rollout process.

Why You Should Attend

I have been involved with M2M for nearly a decade. While I have participated in many of the conferences and events that currently exist, none has been as rewarding as M2M Evolution. Our participation led to multiple opportunities to build relationships with existing and potential clients, and also served as an excellent platform for education. Furthermore, the general networking and experience sharing has been invaluable in developing new insights and opening up new doors - both personally and professionally!

-Nikki Cuban, Vice President of Marketing for OnAsset Intelligence and M2M Evolution Conference Co-chair



Over the past couple of years, M2M Evolution has evolved from a “nice little show” to a place where the movers and shakers in the M2M market get together. Having served as a moderator, panelist and co-chair of the conference, I have found that attendees find value in the format and relationships it spawns. The caliber of attendees, topics covered, pace of content, amount of networking, and degree of interaction and accessibility between IT decision makers and industry movers and shakers really sets the conference apart.
