The EU-Project BUTLER
BUTLER develops a vision of a
secure, pervasive and
context-aware Internet of
Things
BUTLER’s concept of active,
real-time and progressively
personal context-awareness
is inversely proportional to
the degree of knowledge
required from users

Key Question:
“How to make money with IoT?”
I have something, that others need.
I can offer it at a price others are willing to pay.
What is it, that others need?
How can I do it? Can I do it at all?
Find a balance between perceived value and willingness to pay.
Define a model to establish the balance now and evolve in the future.

The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Well as long as they help me to save money, I’d
think about it

Need
Usability, Choice
Brand Trust (Positioning)
I’d expect my doctor and my health
insurance to be involved in this

What happens to all the data this system
collects?
The results of the customer insights (interviews) strongly influence product
design (customer experience design) and thus the business model.

It would be great if it was integrated in my
existing devices!

that much on your claims

Value Proposition Helpbox:
• Your automated
guardian angel, there
for you, when you most
need it

“In IoT the value proposition is not primarily about physical products and not even about services, it‘s mostly about experiences and feelings.”
In order to be competitive the costs need to be managed:
- Openness & Standardization
- Freedom of Choice for Components / Partner
- Design with Options for Evolution
Strategic Learning from Other Industries
One common platform
Flexibility
Interoperability
Evolution
So many different products
