Internet of things – M2M

Helping clients adapt to a new era of connectivity and communication

The Internet of Things (IofT) and machine to machine (M2M) are ushering in a new era of connectivity and communication, transforming business and daily life. With IoT, everyday objects become "smart" objects seamlessly integrated across a global network and capable of generating and exchanging valuable data without human intervention. M2M is the enabling technology behind loT, adding "devices" (sensors or meters) to objects that connect them via wireless and wired networks and generate valuable data in real time.

Together, IoT and M2M are driving innovations, such as smart metering, car telematics, remote health monitoring, mobile workforces and more. They're helping organizations across industries improve their processes, introduce new products and services, better respond to consumer and constituent demands, increase compliance, strengthen security and drive cost savings.
