Delighted to be part of SIRO, Vodafone CITC gigabit hub launch yesterday, with a visit from Minister Heather Humphreys to our office. 1GB broadband has been a key enabler that allows us to trade globally from Cavan. Monica Dhamale shows the Minister the finer points of data analytics!

Panel discussion on the state of the Internet of Things (IoT, where more and more devices connect to the internet) at the quarterly Wearable Wednesday event in Qualtrics EMEA office in Dublin. This was a panel discussion with Antoly Lebedev (Cesanta), Connall Laverty (wia.io), Jason Ruane (cirkit.io) and Ken Finnegan (IDA Ireland).

It was clear from the discussion that IoT is in its nascent stage in Ireland. Ken Finnegan outlined the IDA's efforts to join all the disjointed activities in the IoT ecosystem in Ireland (research, startups, etc.) into a cohesive message to attract foreign direct investment in this space.

It would have been interesting to hear the perspective from industry players who have applied IoT to understand the clear benefits it has delivered and the challenges faced.

Although nascent in Ireland, there is no question IoT will continue to have a significant impact on the way we live and the way we do business.

The shifts that should be underway in your business if you are to stay competitive.
