BMW.XE (BMW.XE) and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) plan to launch an
open technology platform to speed up the development of
Internet-of-Things technology in the manufacturing sector.
"Microsoft is joining forces with the BMW Group to transform
digital production efficiency across the industry," Scott Guthrie,
executive vice president at Microsoft Cloud + AI Group, said
Tuesday.
The move follows a similar announcement by car maker Volkswagen
AG (VOW.XE) and Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) last week. VW and Amazon
said they plan to jointly develop an industrial cloud-computing
platform to manage all data produced at the auto maker's
facilities
