IBM, Jasper connect IoT devices in the field to analytics behind the scenes
Jasper Technologies has been connecting Internet of Things gear for years. A new partnership with IBM will help companies do more with the data that comes out of those devices.
The two companies will integrate Jasper's device provisioning and monitoring system with the IBM IoT Foundation, a platform-as-a-service offering for analyzing data in the cloud.
Much of the value of IoT lies in what enterprises and consumers can do with the data their networks collect. Large-scale cloud computing is expanding those capabilities.
Jasper helps companies stay connected to hardware products so they can keep in touch with consumers, give them better service, and make money from services rather than just devices. IBM IoT Foundation goes a step further to help those companies learn bigger lessons from the objects they have in the field. In IoT Foundation, enterprises can take advantage of IBM Bluemix to develop applications for crunching collected data.
