There is a lot of competition to become the next IoT platform, everyone from Amazon to GE to Microsoft has an IoT offering and more are popping up every day.

This is especially true in the Industrial IoT market. We will discuss each part of the ecosystem and how they fit together to form a complete and compelling solution.
