Reimagining industry solutions with IoT and real-time communications
Session Abstract:
The digital revolution is well underway and is poised to transform all sectors of the economy – from construction to public safety, to food and beverage. While real time communications and IoT underpin this transformation, enterprise-level business value can only be realized by the services themselves – delivered through an ecosystem of partners able to bring together all the required components to build such solutions. At Oracle, we are empowering communications service providers to unlock new revenue streams by making it easy to partner with us as we embark on building new communications enabled industry applications across a wide set of industries. We enable this through a common cloud native platform, providing real time communications and IoT management capabilities, which is underpinning all of these Oracle next generation industry applications. This is one of the many ways that we are making IoT simpler for our customers and our industry partners.
With almost 91% of enterprises stating that their IoT investments have either lived up to or exceeded expectations, in this session Oracle will present how 4G/5G native connectivity and IoT management provides a broad array of opportunities across multiple industries to enable transformation through communications enabled applications. We will deep dive into one example for the food and beverage industry – driving benefits by reducing the in-store technology footprint, greatly simplifying deployment, increasing kitchen throughput and taking the customer experience to the next level.
