- Global partnership for IoT innovation
- Multi-cloud framework expands reach of Cloud of Things
platform
Deutsche Telekom and Software AG have announced a strategic
partnership to deliver IoT services on a global scale. Deutsche
Telekom and its enterprise customer unit T-Systems will expand
their Cloud of Things offering, using Software AG’s Cumulocity IoT
platform.
The partnership for “IoT made in Germany” allows both parties to
make a bold play for an emerging multi-billion international market
in IoT. By pooling expertise and resources, the two will expand
their presence across the United States, Germany and wider European
markets.
Adel Al-Saleh, CEO of T-Systems and Board Member of Deutsche
Telekom, said: “We’re delighted to be extending the reach and
capabilities of our Cloud of Things IoT platform alongside our
partner. Software AG’s technology is critical in enabling us to
scale an already successful service and introduce new
functionality, giving us the confidence to move into new sectors.
Our strategic partnership will help us continue to drive innovation
and provide the best possible platform and services for clients,
both from the enterprise sector and Germany’s world-leading
Mittelstand.”
Sanjay Brahmawar, CEO Software AG, said: “This is a new way of
partnering and co-operating to offer complete IoT solutions for the
real-time economy. With Deutsche Telekom as our strategic partner,
we will offer the most competitive platform! Customers can simplify
their IoT and integration needs with self-service analytics and
gain insights to accelerate their businesses for the fully
connected future. We look forward to scaling this partnership and
making it a global success.”
Support of mission-critical applications
T-Systems will use Cumulocity IoT’s connected architecture as
the new foundation for its integrated Cloud of Things IoT platform.
Cloud of Things is the backbone that supports a vast range of
mission-critical customer applications, starting small but scaling
fast. It allows companies to remotely monitor, manage and control
their connected devices and machines. The platform provides a
wealth of insight that helps cut costs, boost efficiency, increase
security and create new value by converting raw data into business
intelligence.
Start small, scale fast
DT and T-Systems will be able to service a much larger and more
varied global market. Cloud of Things will now operate within a
multi-cloud environment, giving it greater ability to scale quickly
with customer demand and expand its capabilities with many new
functional extensions, including Streaming Analytics, Micro
Services and new protocols. These improvements will allow to fully
realize the power of its integrated platform, tapping into entirely
new industries such as the smart home sector.
Software AG has recently been named a Visionary in the Gartner
Magic Quadrant for Industrial IoT Platforms. The strategic global
partnership with Deutsche Telekom reinforces their excellence in
IoT capabilities.
