Transcending the Hype: a Transformative IoT Emerges

Ghost writer for "Transcending the Hype: A Transformative IoT Emerges" in Cognizanti Journal (Volume 8, Issue 1 - 2015), in which I articulate Cognizant's point-of-view on the Internet of Things.  Despite the hype, our observation is that the Internet of Things is finally taking shape at companies across industries.  Initial pilots offer a glimpse of how a tightly interconnected physical and digital world can drive breakthroughs in customer experience, worker productivity, and entirely new product models that radically alter competition.

Analyst Sponsored White Paper:

I worked with an IDC Analyst to create a sponsored piece of thought leadership for the manufacturing sector, entitled "Transforming Manufacturing with the Internet of Things".  Part of my job as a product marketer is to drive influencer preference for Cognizant, and one meaningful way to bring a new perspective to market is to leverage the research of analyst firms.  Working with analysts to get candid feedback on positioning and messaging, or as colleagues on a perspective can be a strong differentiator in building awareness and generating interest.  In this case I provided the outline of the narrative and worked with the analyst on several drafts until the finished piece.
