Microsoft's view of 2015: Internet of Things, security, and machine learning - Mark Wilson, Beta News

Microsoft shares its view of which areas of technology are going to be of the greatest importance for businesses in 2015. Corporate Vice President, Enterprise and Partner Group, Susan Hauser believes that security will continue to be strengthened, the Internet of Things will grow, and predictive tools will be more heavily utilized. With the general focus on the cloud, the increased interest in the Internet of Things is hardly a surprise. Once regarded as something rather nebulous and ethereal, businesses and customers are now starting to see the potential for the IoT. Hauser predicts that what will help to accelerate growth here is increased cooperation between partners, as growing numbers of sensors provide access to "nearly unlimited amounts of data". http://betanews.com/2014/12/17/microsofts-view-of-2015-internet-of-things-security-and-machine-learning/
