• Why IoT Innovation Labs Are Doomed

Many companies create “Innovation Labs” to generate IoT platforms for their enterprise. Few IoT systems are ever delivered by these centralized teams. IoT systems aren’t something you connect to your products – IoT systems *are* your product. The experience and business model require more than a central innovation group can deliver. Here’s why.

• Digital Transformation and Industrial IoT on Google Cloud Platform

Successful digital transformation requires connected product solutions delivering agility and control. An Open System approach to IoT provides the agility to leverage best of breed tools and integrate with your existing enterprise systems, and the control over your data to ensure maximum future value.
