Challenge Summary
Welcome to IBM - SiBM Internet of Things Assessment Mobile App F2F Design Challenge!
IBMers will use the app when they are with a client and start discussing about the “IoT” (Internet of Things). IoT being a new concept in the market, no one is sure about its currency, relevance and application to the scope.
