Precision India

Following on the heels of a very successful launch of Precision in Vietnam, McGraw Hill India has launched Precision in India. While it didn't need to be translated, there are a couple of unique things we did for the book. First, there is an new chapter devoted to the story of Voltas, one of the largest HVAC manufacturers in the world headquartered in India. Second, since McGraw Hill is marketing this to the higher education market in India, the book contains a quiz at the end of each chapter. Finally, luminaries in India were kind enough to provide their own recommendations.

Precision is transforming every business from mining to manufacturing, agriculture to automobiles. It is an imperative that leaders and CEOs leverage the potential of IoT to bring about transformational changes and build competitive advantage. Dr. Chou's book empowers leaders to do just this! With extensive illustrations and case studies, it elucidates the defining power of IoT and the potential of a competitive edge that Precision offers. The book is a must-read for every business leader of today.

Things, connect, collect, learn, do is a simple and effective model presented in the book Precision, by Timothy Chou. Those who desire to succeed in going beyond the hype of the internet of things will benefit from applying the principles highlighted by Dr. Chou to challenges that matter in industries ranging from agriculture to the factory floor to dynamic fleets. Precision is a must read!

An extremely well authored book, which demystifies IOT through a well laid out framework and real-world examples. I appreciate Timothy for explaining the concepts and application of IOT to enhance productivity across multiple industry segments. I recommend this book as a must read for professionals engaged in Digital Transformation and leveraging IOT to drive defined outcomes.

With the rapid growth and trillions of $$'s to be spent on infrastructure, India is uniquely poised today, to leapfrog and benefit from the IoT revolution. In this remarkably accessible book Dr. Chou elucidates the use cases and technologies, which define the efficient, connected, precise future. The book is an invaluable reference for policy makers, business and technology leaders alike.

In Precision, Dr. Timothy Chou, explains the differences between Internet of Things (IoT) software versus Internet of People (IoP) software. Furthermore he inspires us to consider the endless possibilities for manufacturers and end users of machines to develop innovative business solutions.

I really loved reading Timothy Chou's book Precision. He has done a great job of highlighting how the Internet of Things is different from the Internet of People something that becomes quite obvious after reading the book. He has precisely articulated the challenges that size and scale will create and has defined architecture for how the Internet of things will evolve. Beyond the IoT software, Tim has shared examples of how Internet of things is getting deployed in different industries. These examples are both illustrative and thought provoking. The book is excellent for those who are interested in learning more about the IoT and for those who are keen to build solutions for this trillion-dollar market.
