Fuelling the Digital Experience Economy with Connected Products

Delivering enhanced digital experiences have become a competitive advantage for any organization. As a result, business models have moved towards the digital experience economy. Technologies such as application programming interfaces (APIs), integration platforms, identity and access management solutions, cloud offerings, and big data enable a steady observability layer to understand consumer usage patterns and trends. In addition, connected products enhance the number of data points fed into the observability layer at the edge.

He will share reference architectures and real-world success stories to provide a pragmatic approach to digital strategists and crafters.
