Service providers are increasingly offering entertainment through software-as-a-service residing in cloud environments. The cloud enables service providers to deliver unique customer experiences with profile data and historical information residing in secured private/public clouds.
Data generated by things like connected fridges, thermostats, lights, and watering systems are all routing and storing data in the cloud. Cloud apps allow consumers to interface and understand their data.
Offer differentiated customer experiences by using connections to capture and analyze data that the Internet of Everything and cloud make possible.
