SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwired) --
07/30/15 -- Jasper, a global Internet of
Things (IoT) platform leader, today announced
a strategic partnership with Microsoft to
provide enterprises worldwide with an IoT
service management solution that enables
them to bring new IoT services to market
faster, facilitate their shift from product
businesses to services businesses, and rapidly
scale. Through joint engineering efforts, the
companies are combining the power of the
Jasper IoT services platform and the
Microsoft Azure IoT Suite, available in preview
later this year.
"More than 2,000 enterprises across dozens of
industries worldwide have selected the Jasper
Platform to enable them to deliver IoT
services that increase customer value and
grow revenues," said Macario Namie, VP of
Strategy at Jasper. "Through this strategic
partnership with Microsoft, we continue to
increase the business value of IoT by making
it easier and faster for enterprises to bring
their IoT services to market, and to scale those
services globally."
The Azure IoT Suite extends existing Azure
capabilities to connect devices and other
assets (i.e. "things"), capture the diverse and
voluminous data they generate, and integrate
and orchestrate the flow of that data. The
suite also manages, analyzes and presents
device data as usable information to help
businesses make better decisions, while also
intelligently automating operations. The
offering, while customizable to fit the unique
needs of any organization, also provides
complete applications which speed
deployment of common scenarios seen across
many industries, such as remote monitoring,
asset management and predictive
maintenance, while providing the ability to
grow and scale solutions to millions of
"things."
Jasper Control Center, Jasper's IoT services
platform, is a cloud-based IoT platform that
enables companies of all sizes to rapidly and
cost-effectively deploy, manage and monetize
IoT services for any connected device. The
platform, which is easily configurable to meet
the unique requirements of business across
industries, gives companies the real-time
visibility, intelligence and control they need to
accelerate time-to-market, automate
operations, optimize performance,
troubleshoot and fix issues, and manage
costs. As those companies grow, Control
Center makes it easy for them to seamlessly
scale their businesses across the globe.
Jasper partners with 25 mobile operator
groups, representing more than 100 mobile
operator networks worldwide, to deliver the
benefits of Control Center in over 100
countries.
"Our vision for the Azure IoT Suite is to help
companies thrive in this era of IoT by
delivering preconfigured solutions and world
class services that any company, whether
startup or the most established global
enterprises, can use to create new value," said
Sam George, Director of Azure IoT. "Jasper's
IoT services platform is a critical component
of delivering on this vision. By bringing
together the Jasper Platform and the Azure
IoT Suite, businesses of any size and in any
industry can build cost effective IoT solutions
for themselves or their customers."
The combination of the Jasper Platform and
the Azure IoT Suite will provide enterprises
worldwide with the following advantages:
Faster Time-to-Market - Enterprises in any
industry can accelerate time to market of their
IoT services by taking advantage of pre-
established, deep integration across all
technology layers -- connectivity, application,
and data.
Global Visibility - Businesses gain a global
view of their IoT deployments -- including both
device data and Control Center IoT service
data -- through the Azure IoT Suite experience.
Automated Business Decisions - The solution
delivers richer insights that inform more
sophisticated decision-making.
