Wireless Announces Joint Business Relationship with PwC Canada to Help
Enterprises Transform their Business with IoT
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 13, 2017--Sierra
Wireless (NASDAQ:SWIR) (TSX:SW), the leading provider of fully
integrated device-to-cloud solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT),
today announced that it has entered into a joint business relationship
with PwC Canada to help enterprises around the world develop and launch
transformative IoT services and new business models.
The IoT is creating new service-oriented opportunities, driving
organizations to modernize so they can capitalize on growing amounts of
IoT data and provide an enhanced customer experience. According to PwC
Canada’s 2017 Global Digital IQ® Survey, 73 percent of organizations are
making substantial investments in the IoT.
The implementation of IoT solutions is very complex; many projects lack
a clear definition of use case, face significant delays, go over budget
or fail to launch all together. Together, Sierra Wireless and PWC Canada
can advise enterprises on IoT transformation best practices and
technologies, from articulating the value proposition and building the
business case, through to implementation.
“Sierra Wireless has helped thousands of companies, large and small, to
join the IoT,” said René Link, CMO & SVP Corporate Strategy, Sierra
Wireless. “IoT transformation can be a very complex process, and the
combined expertise of Sierra Wireless and PwC Canada will ensure the
right technology and business insights drive successful IoT
implementations.”
