Interview with Dr. Timothy Chou on the Internet of Things

Timothy Chou has been lucky enough to have a career spanning academia, successful -and not so successful- startups and large corporations. He was one of only a few people to hold the President title at Oracle. As President of Oracle On Demand he grew the cloud business from it’s very beginning. Today that business is over 2 Billion. He wrote about the move of applications to the cloud in 2004 in his first book, “The End of Software”. Today he serves on the board of Blackbaud, a nearly 700 Million dollar vertical application cloud service company. You may not be sure why your coffee pot should talk to your toaster, but precision technology powering an Internet of Things has the potential to reshape the planet. To help clarify, Dr. Timothy Chou authored Precision: Principles, Practices and Solutions for the Internet of Things to introduce the basics of the Industrial Internet of Things -IoT.
