Technical skills are important when it comes to deploying a new connected manufacturing plant or designing a just-in-time inventory management system. But equally important is developing a management culture that can really take advantage of the data transparency that connectivity can offer a business, according to this week's guest on the IoT podcast. Satya Ramaswamy of Tata Consultancy Services shares his thoughts about a recent report on the Internet of things and how companies can adapt to really take advantage of this business shift(http://fortune.com/2015/07/27/tata-internet-of-things/).
Before we talk to Ramaswamy, Kevin Tofel and I discuss Google's new router (http://www.wired.com/2015/08/google-onhub-wi-fi-router/) and why it might be the best thing for the smart home. We also explore Intel's commitment to the internet of things based on its stunt-heavy opener at the Intel Developer Forum this week. In funding news we talk about a $28 million round for connected video doorbell company Ring as well as $5 million in funding for a startup that's combining the internet of things and the blockchain technology behind Bitcoin (http://fortune.com/2015/08/18/filament-blockchain-iot/). Enjoy the show.
