Sensor and IoT Data Demand Scale, Context, and Complex Analytics

The buzz about the Internet of Things (IoT) disruption and transformation can certainly sound like hype. And for companies lacking a clear business case and specific plans for sensor data and device data, the IoT will be more talk than action. Because when devices are talking and won’t shut up, Big Data threatens to deluge IT and analytics groups.

Businesses that design and integrate the right data architectures, establish robust data analytics platforms, and form the right teams will find that the IoT is not just the next big thing, but a necessity for staying competitive in the fast-moving marketplace.

True Business Value Lies Beyond Sensors and Devices

Learn how Teradata approaches the Analytics of Things by taking an intelligent approach to not only your devices but to real time data streams and web analytics.

The IoT refers to the enormous network of devices and physical objects ("things") that can connect to the Internet, recognize other devices and objects, and communicate with them. But without the scale to capture, manage, and see the data in context, sensor data reveals only a small fraction of its value. To ensure your data can be used for strategic decisions, we rely on our experience in four key areas:

Internet of Things (IoT)

More devices fitted with sensors generate increasing amounts of data

Analytics of Things (AoT)

Raw data streams require AoT analytics for context and insights

IoT Strategy

Our experts help you generate value from your IoT data

Industry Expertise

Corporate information increases usefulness of data for data scientists

The Analytics of Success—At Scale

Teradata specialists design solutions that produce sophisticated and scalable analytics for all your data, all the time. Separating business-critical information from the noise is the first step. That’s why we put the flood of data into low-cost data lakes. Then we send relevant sensor data to data warehouses where data scientists and analysts can identify trends and interpret the data using the Analytics of Things (AoT).

AoT is the “thinking” part of IoT, analytics that can be applied to IoT data so it becomes meaningful and actionable. That means AoT can help businesses gain a better understanding of the relationships between the digital and physical worlds, and many different types of complex systems that comprise the IoT.

We use our experience with IoT applications, deep industry knowledge, and broad expertise with complex analytics at scale to help companies evolve from standalone or narrowly focused analytics projects to sustainable, highly-integrated, business-driven operations. Our AoT experts drive initiatives that lead to cost savings, improvements in operational efficiency, and identification of new revenue streams by focusing on:

Strategy

Strategies and analytic solutions based on business cases

Speed

Fast design and deployment of pilots and proof-of-concepts

Scale

An ecosystem for ongoing data integration, sharing, and analytics

Analytics

Embracing the AoT to decipher enormous data volumes

Visibility

Bridging the divide between operational technology and IT

Transformation

Devising and driving change across your entire organization
