Our clients need the ability to respond to market demands and transform the business by instrumentation, interconnections, and cognitive intelligence.
Projections indicate that 6.4 billion connected things in use by 2016. A 30% rise from the previous year. And by 2025, data from connected devices will yield insights driving the potential economic value of as much as 11 trillion USD.

The Watson IoT Platform enables clients to easily and securely connect devices. Quickly build IoT applications. Analyze data from any device source. And scale the IoT solution using a range of storage, analytics, and other services from IBM Bluemix cloud-based services.

IBM was in Q4 2016 named an IoT Software Platform leader in The Forrester Wave™.

Device Simulator with CSV Data

Redesign of the IoT Platform Device Simulator creating a seamless integration with the IoT platform Connection and Analytics Services.

IoT Edge Design

Preview 2 is the first available beta for the new Watson IoT Platform Edge capabilities. This article describes the design objectives and the user experience design for this preview version of IoT Edge.

Device Activity Policy Design

The Device Activity Policy design in the Watson IoT platform enables users to define the messaging intervals of healthy devices and track compliance to such Risk and Security Policy settings

Help Hub Design

The Help Hub design provides a simple on-boarding experience for new users of the IoT platform. The design creates a seamless learning experience, guiding users and allowing them to form a mental model of the IoT platform and its resources.

Simulated Devices Design

The Device Simulator design in Watson IoT Platform enables developers to build and test the IoT applications without deploying physical devices beforehand.

Compliance Reporting Design

The Compliance Reporting design in the Watson IoT platform enables users to drill into the current state and history of devices to investigate root-cause of compliance to Risk and Security Policy settings.

Information Management Design

Watson IoT Platform Information Management capabilities help simplify application development by decoupling them from the complexities of how specific devices across a set of device types are specified and connected. The information model provides abstractions that keep applications insulated from data change and the structure of how devices are interconnected into things.

Risk and Security Management Design

The Watson IoT Platform Risk and Security Management provides an overview to compliance on policies and risks so that security administrators and operations personnel can quickly understand the security posture of their IoT deployment according to policies that they have configured within the Platform.

Access Control Design

Access Control is part of operational security and provides control and management of roles that define the permissions of actions on the resources in the Watson IoT Platform. Access Control design has resulted in five different predefined roles for Users, six different predefined roles for Applications and two different predefined roles for Gateways.

Custom Device Management Design

Custom Device Management Commands design in the IBM Watson IoT Platform provides a new capability to extend the platform and support additional actions in addition to the standard Download Firmware, Update Firmware, Reboot and Factory Reset. The new design defines a file in Json format called a device management extension package that is loaded into the platform, either through the API or from the settings page of the Platform dashboard.
