BOSTON – September 13, 2013 – Xively, a subsidiary of LogMeIn (NASDAQ: LOGM) and creator of the first public cloud platform for the commercial Internet of Things (IoT), announced today that it has received a 2013 M2M Evolution Battle of the Platforms Award from TMC and Crossfire Media.
“This award is particularly gratifying because the analysts who chose Xively are intimately familiar with the limitations of existing M2M solutions, and understand what is needed to enable truly transformative connected solutions on the Internet of Things,” said Chad Jones, VP of Product Strategy for Xively. “We’re honored that, like our customers, the panel recognized that Xively’s unique approach makes it easy for businesses to move from ideation to realization, and rapidly build, scale and manage compelling connected solutions.”
The IoT market is predicted to generate between $1.2 trillion and $14.4 trillion in revenue, representing over one trillion connected objects by 2020. In order for businesses to capitalize on this massive opportunity, they must go beyond connecting devices on a network. They need a comprehensive set of services that enable those devices to interact in a meaningful, secure way with applications, users and other devices. However, many organizations are stymied by the enormous complexities and high cost of building and scaling their own IoT infrastructure, and the elongated timeframe required to go from prototype to commercially available offering. Xively Cloud Services is designed to eliminate these complexities and collapse the timeframe, while doing so at a cost that makes IoT development attractive to businesses of all sizes.
“On behalf of Crossfire Media and M2M Evolution, I am very pleased to recognize the innovation demonstrated by Xively at the 2013 Battle of the Platforms,” said Carl Ford, CEO and Co-Founder, Crossfire Media. “Platforms like Xively Cloud Services are the driving force behind the wave of machine-to-machine advancements that are transforming what is possible in the Internet of Things. Xively truly deserves this award and I look forward to more innovative solutions from them in the future.”
“It is my pleasure to grant a 2013 M2M Evolution Battle of the Platforms Award to Xively for their innovative IoT public cloud platform,” said Rich Tehrani, CEO of TMC. “It is our pleasure to be able to honor Xively for their inspiring work.”
The Battle of the Platforms winners will be featured in an upcoming issue of M2M Evolution magazine as well as in the M2M eNewsletter and website.
