n a recent blog post, I reported that the Internet of Things (network-connected smart devices that can communicate with each other and with computers that allow self-regulation and allow us to track and control their performance remotely) is transforming companies and markets, opening up a new era of economic growth.
A study from the John M. Olin School of Business at Washington University estimates that 40 percent of today's Fortune 500 companies on the S&P 500 will no longer exist in 10 years. Can you imagine that? The culprit: tech disruption across all industries.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is poised to become a $225 billion market, making the $45.7 relational database market seem miniscule in comparison.
But this Wednesday, October 12th in Camino Real in Mexico’s swanky Polanco neighborhood, experts from Softtek and GE will be serving up some expert advice on how to gear up for the IoT revolution.
Here are three reasons why business leaders attend:
1. A Panel of Experts To Help You Understand The IoT Ecosystem
I will be accompanied by a panel of experts from GE and Softtek, and we will discuss all aspects of the IoT economy in a detailed fashion. We’ll leverage our expertise and experience working on some of the most interesting and complex projects, and we’ll share best practices you can use to map your own path.
2. We’ll Go Deep Into Key Verticals
This workshop won’t just be a generic treatment of IoT – we’ll share details specific to three important industries:
- Food & Beverage, and CPG
- Chemicals and the Pharmaceutical Industry
- The Automotive and Manufacturing Industry
These industries are key parts of Mexico’s economy, so you don’t want to miss out on the details!
3. You’ll Learn About GE’s Predix, The Platform for the Industrial Internet of Things
GE’s Predix, a cloud-based platform for the collection of data from internet connected devices, was designed specifically for the massive amounts of distributed data, and has the horsepower, economies of scale and secure environment needed for this gargantuan task.
Since Softtek has partnered with GE and joined the GE Digital Alliance Program with an industrial internet service offering for the IoT, personnel from both GE and Softtek will be on hand to go over the finer details of what Predix means for you.
Will You Join the IoT Revolution?
I’ve just shared three good reasons for you to register for this Wednesday’s workshop in Mexico City. But if that didn’t convince you, here’s a bonus fourth: we’ll be holding the event at the beautiful Camino Real Polanco, a sprawling property set on a tree-lined street opposite Chapultepec Park, one of Latin America’s most famous parks.
The Digital Industrial Revolution is now! It’s an exciting time, and we’re excited to support you on the “ride.” If you’re attending the event, we look forward to seeing you!
