Des sources inattendues peuvent fournir des expertises int\u00e9ressantes. Voici comment Sterling caract\u00e9rise la strat\u00e9gie de plate-forme num\u00e9rique de General Electric :<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u00ab\u00a0Ensuite, il y a General Electric. Cette ancienne et v\u00e9n\u00e9rable maison fait des moteurs d&rsquo;avion. Elle est si ancienne qu\u2019elle demeure fid\u00e8le \u00e0 la cause des Choses, tels des Celtes pendant l&rsquo;invasion normande. Jusqu\u2019ici, General Electric savait tout ce qu&rsquo;il y avait \u00e0 savoir sur les moteurs \u00e0 r\u00e9action. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi cette entreprise a r\u00e9agi avec horreur quand elle a pris conscience du fait que les intrus num\u00e9riques risquaient d&rsquo;en savoir beaucoup plus qu&rsquo;elle. \u00c0 chaque fois que des industriels conventionnels ou normaux construisent un moteur \u00e0 r\u00e9action, ils font d&rsquo;abord beaucoup de math\u00e9matiques, ils fa\u00e7onnent les parties, allument la machine et observent la mani\u00e8re dont elle explose. Le style d\u2019approche propre \u00e0 l\u2019Internet des objets est radicalement diff\u00e9rent. Il consiste \u00e0 couvrir le moteur d\u2019avion d\u2019une foule de capteurs, permettant d&rsquo;en fournir une image au rayon x en temps r\u00e9el, et \u00e0 compiler une base de donn\u00e9es colossale d\u00e9crivant son comportement. Ce sch\u00e9ma exige un niveau douloureux de puissance de calcul, dont General Electric ne disposait pas \u00e0 ce stade. N\u00e9anmoins, GE ne fit pas l\u2019erreur de donner du pouvoir aux grands du num\u00e9rique en maraude. Au lieu de cela, General Electric forma sa propre \u00e9lite informatique. Elle embarqua avec elle AT&amp;T, incr\u00e9dule et stup\u00e9fait, en plus du v\u00e9t\u00e9ran IBM, de l\u2019astucieux Cisco, et du m\u00e9content et ing\u00e9nieux Intel. Elle obtint m\u00eame l\u2019approbation tacite du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral des \u00c9tats-Unis : une permission l\u00e9gale et politique que les Cinq Grands n\u2019auraient jamais pris la peine de demander. L\u2019 \u201cInternet industriel\u201d est davantage qu\u2019une clique de palais. C\u2019est la force arm\u00e9e majeure dans le paysage de l\u2019Internet des objets. M\u00eame les majors des Cinq Grands n\u2019oseraient provoquer la fureur de cette coalition. Vraisemblablement, l&rsquo;affaire se r\u00e8glera par des arrangements diplomatiques, par de beaux syst\u00e8mes \u00e0 base de mariages dynastiques, de scintillantes co-entreprises, de projets pilotes annonc\u00e9s avec force trompettes, par ce genre de choses. Cependant, supposons que vous soyez l\u2019 \u201cInternet\u201d, mais que vous ne soyez pas am\u00e9ricain. Si tel \u00e9tait le cas, alors l\u2019alliance strat\u00e9gique de GE, AT&amp;T, IBM, Cisco et Intel ressemble terriblement \u00e0 un \u201cInternet des objets am\u00e9ricains\u201d militaro-industriel. Leur \u201cInternet industriel\u201d pourrait peut-\u00eatre finir par \u00eatre per\u00e7u comme un dispositif effrayant, li\u00e9 \u00e0 la NSA, caract\u00e9ristique d\u2019une nouvelle Guerre froide, et issu de la derni\u00e8re superpuissance militaire \u00e0 subsister dans le monde.

He first places the digital industrial vertical on the background of cloud computing, which is dominated by AWS (Amazon Web Services), Google, IBM and Microsoft. The domination exerted by these four companies has only increased in recent years, pushing smaller players out of business. AWS is far ahead of pack, and is Amazon's most profitable business.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Naug\u00e8s then focuses on GE, noting the alignement of the Digital Industrial strategy with the arrival of the Fourth industrial revolution. The experience of GE Aviation shows that there are three main aspects of Digital Industrial:<\/p><ul><li class=\"p1\">Connecting machines to the cloud and together.<\/li><li class=\"p1\">Building business applications to optimize the use of industrial assets.<\/li><li class=\"p1\">Anticipating incidents and breakdowns.<\/li><\/ul><p>Where the competitive situation gets complicated is that GE considers AWS as a partner to support Predix operations. But at the same time, Amazon has recently announced an IoT\u00a0cloud, which is a direct competitor of Predix. How things will evolve from there is anyone's guess, as other big players are also entering the IoT cloud market.<\/p><p>Here's another analysis of GE's digital industrial strategy, coming from a completely different perspective.<\/p><p>Respected science-fiction author Bruce Sterling's short 2014 essay <em>The Epic Struggle of the Internet of Things<\/em>\u00a0makes the point that the main contenders for the digital crown engage in a specific form of disruption he terms\u00a0<em>wrangling<\/em>: \"The classic wrangle\u00a0is to give away, to bestow, in a lordly fashion, what the other guy most prizes in life.\" Because of this peculiar form of disruption, industries peripheral to a GAFA's business model tend\u00a0to turn into scorched earth.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">At <a href=\"http:\/\/presans.com\">Presans<\/a>, we like to keep things edgy. Unexpected sources can provide interesting expertise. This is how Sterling characterizes General Electric's digital platform strategy:<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThen there\u2019s General Electric. This ancient, time-honoured house makes jet engines. They\u2019re so ancient that they\u2019re still loyal to the cause of Things, like Celts in the Norman Invasion. General Electric once knew all there was to know about jet engines. That\u2019s why they reacted in horror when they realised that digital intruders were in danger of knowing much more that they did. Whenever normal, conventional industrialists build a jet engine, they do a lot of math first, they smelt out the parts, and then fire it up and they see how it explodes. The Internet of Things industrial approach is radically different. Basically, it covers a jet engine with about a zillion spy devices and x-rays it in real time, compiling a colossal Big Database of the thing\u2019s behaviour. This scheme required a scarifying level of computational power that General Electric did not, at that point, possess. However, GE knew better than to give away power to the marauding likes of the Big Five. Instead, General Electric formed its own computational elite. It hauled in a blinking and disbelieving AT&T, plus veteran IBM, wily Cisco and disgruntled, ingenious Intel. It even got the tacit approval of the US federal government: a legal and political permission that the Big Five would never bother to ask for. The \u201cIndustrial Internet\u201d is more than a palace clique. It\u2019s the major armed force on the IoT landscape. Even the Big Five majors wouldn\u2019t dare to risk the fury of this coalition; likely, some diplomatic negotiation is in order, ornate schemes involving dynastic marriages, glittering joint enterprises, much-trumpeted pilot projects, that sort of thing. However, suppose that you are \u201cinternet\u201d, but you don\u2019t happen to be American. If that\u2019s the case, then the strategic alliance of GE, AT& T, IBM, Cisco and Intel looks an awful lot like a military-industrial \u201cInternet of American Things\u201d. Their \u201cIndustrial Internet\u201d might, perhaps, be perceived as a scary, NSA-friendly, neo-Cold War apparatus from the world\u2019s last remaining military superpower. An electronic cyberwar conspiracy, aimed directly at the future prosperity of Huawei \u2013 or even harmless, unsuspecting Samsung!\"<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\">Only time will tell how much of a <a href=\"http:\/\/open-organization.com\/en\/2016\/03\/26\/the-game-changer-mindset\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game-changer<\/a> the Digital Foundry represents!<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[128,217,292,708,717,719,804,820,912,1477,1760],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/open-organization.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2948"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/open-organization.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/open-organization.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/open-organization.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/open-organization.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/open-organization.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2948\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/open-organization.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/open-organization.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/open-organization.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/open-organization.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
