I met Rafael Costa at the SAP Sapphirenow conference in Orlando last week.

Rafael was there demonstrating how his company Stara, a Brazilian agricultural machine manufacturer was using the Internet of Things to help farmers, increase yields and make their planting and spreading far more efficient.

I thought it was a fascinating story, so I invited him on the show to share it with you.

You can find out more about Stara at the Stara website

Bill Clee is the founder and CEO of UK company Asset Mapping, a company which does geoloaction and enterprise asset management for assets, be they indoors or out.

I reached out to him and asked him to come on the show, and he graciously accepted.

Constellantion Research's industry analyst Andy Mulholland has a very strong technical background having been Group CTO for Cap Gemini before coming out to retirement to join Constellation to lead research into IoT.

We had a fascinating conversation around IoT, manufacturing, and the transition to the digital services economy.

You can find Andy's blog on the Constellation website, and he is also on Twitter as @CTOonTheBoard.
