This module describes the Internet and its evolution to the
Internet of Everything. It explains how IoE benefits individuals
and organizations and introduces the concept of a network
foundation connecting billions of things and trillions of
gigabytes of data to enhance our decision-making processes
and interactions.
Learning Objectives
Identify the four pillars of IoE and how they interact
Identify the three primary interactions in the Internet of
Everything: people-to-people (P2P), machine-to-people
(M2P), and M2M machine-to-machine (M2M
Describe the different network components and how
networks of different sizes form the foundation for the IoE

This module explains the interconnection of people, process,
data, and things that forms the Internet of Everything.
Learning Objectives
Explain how things that are computers and non-computers can be
connected to a network
Explain how data is stored and transported across the network
Explain how Big Data is identified, turned into usable information
and managed as an asset to make business decisions
Describe virtualization and cloud computing
Describe how IoE enablement of accurate and timely information
delivery can transform an individuals and organizations behaviors
Explain the role of processes in facilitating interactions between
people, things, and data by combining machine-to-machine (M2M),
machine-to-people (M2P), and people-to-people (P2P) connections

This module explains how IoE smart things are able to
capture, share, and analyze data. In some cases, IoE things
make decisions based on that data, without the need for
human intervention.
Learning Objectives
Describe examples of IoT application in the home and
industry
Explain why a protocol suite is necessary for
communication to occur across a network
Explain how the IoE affects the evolution of data storage
and access
Review an example of a Home IoE implementation
environment

convergence between an organizations operational
technology (OT) and information technology (IT) systems
Describe the M2M, M2P, and P2P interactions in an IoE
solution
Describe the business processes for evaluating a problem
that can be solved with IoE
Explain the necessary architectural structure to implement
an IoE solution
