The Internet of Everything: People-to-People + People-to-Machine + Machine-to-Machine
The Internet of Everything (IoE) is a term that is coined by Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO), incorporated in California in December 1984, and it is simply the networked connection of people, process, data, and things that makes it more valuable and more relevant turning information into outcomes that matter to the customers and the shareholders. IoE includes three types of connections: 1) People-to-People (P2P), 2) People-to-Machine (P2M), and 3) Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and as such it allows convergence, orchestration, and insights across the previously stand-alone and disparate systems. Data-driven business agility is at the heart of the IoE Economy facilitating decision making for new kinds of innovations, business architectures and operating models.

Watch the Keynote of John Chambers, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Cisco at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held from January 6-7, 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada in which he along with Toni Vives, Deputy Mayor for Urban Habitat, Barcelona City Council, Spain, Ralph de la Vega, President and CRO, AT&T Mobility, and Rick Smolan, CEO, Against All Odds Productions (The Human Face of Big Data) shared how the IoE creates new capabilities, richer experiences, and unprecedented economic opportunities for countries, enterprises, and individuals.
It is quite evident that that The Internet of Everything creates new relationships and opportunities and it is all about delivering the right information to the right people or machine at the right time.

Value Proposition of IoE for the Public Sector
According to Cisco Consulting Services, The Internet of Everything (IoE) could generate $4.6 trillion in value for the global public sector by 2022 through cost savings, productivity gains, new revenues and improved citizen experiences. Similar, it also predicts that the IoE could drive $14.4 trillion of potential value at stake for the private sector. All in all, Cisco estimates that IoE to be a $19 trillion opportunity for businesses and governments globally 2013-2022. The five main factors that fuel IoE Value at Stake are: 1) asset utilization (reduced costs) 2) employee productivity (greater labor efficiencies) 3) supply chain and logistics (eliminating waste) 4) customer experience (addition of more customers) and 5) innovation (reducing time to market).

In 2013, Cisco also conducted economic analysis and surveyed 7,500 business and IT professionals from private-sector firms in 12 of the largest economies to create the Internet of Everything Value Index. This index enabled Cisco to measure the actual value realized (VR) by companies in 2013 as a share of the potential value at stake (VAS) available, the more connected their businesses become as part of the Internet of Everything (IoE). Listen to Jeff Loucks, Cisco Consulting talking about the the Internet of Everything Value Index
Rock-solid security (logical and physical) combined with privacy laws and policies will be the critical enabler of the Internet of Everything Economy. At the same time, a comprehensive set of government acts, laws, and regulatory frameworks needs to be developed to harness the potential of new models of interactions among government, enterprises, and individuals.
What does it mean for the market?
