misplaced baggage. This solution provides real-time
visibility and continuous tracking of baggage, while reducing costs
and improving customer satisfaction.

winning Sogeti teams to quickly and effortlessly compose an awesome
solution for smart transportation,” said Binu Panicker, Vice

have won against some of the biggest names in IoT platforms and
this achievement validates the Fall 2015 release of our IoT
Platform aimed at making it fast and simple to develop
business-critical IoT solutions.”
The Sogeti team having used the IBM, Amazon and Azure platforms
previously, used the Covisint IoT Platform based on the ease to
securely connect people, systems and things. Highlights of

not have to, compared to other platforms – and this is simply an
awesome platform.”
- “The simple and easy to use UI made our life much simpler and
could build the solution faster.”
