One of the challenges for enterprises, to date, is that they want to invest more time innovating above the device cloud level, building applications that leverage the underlying device cloud data. PTC’s integration of the ThingWorx platform with these leading public devices clouds will allow enterprises to more fully leverage their cloud investments as well as mix and match their preferred combination of components from a range of cloud providers and ThingWorx.
“Our open IoT platform strategy is driven by our customers’ need to grow and scale their IoT projects,” said Jim Heppelmann, PTC president and CEO. “By working closely with IoT cloud leaders, we can unlock unprecedented value from the IoT, which will enable our customers to further enhance their products and offerings.”
For enterprise customers, integrations with multiple cloud offerings enable several anticipated benefits, including faster development speed, decreasing time to market and a more open solution, allowing companies to evolve their devices, clouds, databases, and enterprise systems as their environment and needs change.
PTC will host a livestream event on May 4, 2016, to educate the industry on the topic of open platform strategies.
