Did you know ABIresearch is evaluating M2M/Internet of Things
vendors now? I didn't know until I saw this
report about the leading M2M (machine to machine) vendors today. The report category is called M2M Application Enablement Platform (AEP).
Seems ABIresearch has a Competitive Assessment that considers six
criteria they use to scrutinize M2M vendors. This Competitive Assessment provides a rating of the leading M2M AEP
vendors. A total of eight companies were scrutinized against several
criteria under the categories of implementation and innovation in
addition to a market share analysis for the same eight companies.

Here is an excerpt, "
ILS Technology has been ranked as the leading Application Enablement
Platform (AEP) vendor in the latest Competitive Assessment developed by
ABI Research... ILS made significant ground in the innovation category of the assessment
with an industry leading score of 81 that was just enough to secure it
top spot overall. Report author, Craig Foster, cited the ability of its
platform to integrate into existing ERP/CRM systems as crucial to its
success." The deviceWISE module can interface directly to a number of
industry leading databases such as SAP, Salesforce, and Oracle. ERP/CRM
integration is increasingly important as leveraging information from
connected devices allows companies to optimize critical business
processes and become much more efficient.”
