We are thrilled to share that Forrester Research has recognized Watson IoT (https://www.ibm.com/internet-of-things/) as the leader in their market evaluation report on IoT software platform vendors: The Forrester Wave?: IoT Software Platforms, Q4 2016. This report is the industry's first assessments of IoT Platform and we came out on top! We were recognized for our commitment to open source standards, robust global partner ecosystem and strengths in augmented reality, cognitive capabilities, blockchain, analytics and natural language processing, were also noted. This report is an incredible testament to the power of Watson’IoT’s offerings and solution and the remarkable value they are bringing to clients as they transition in the cognitive era.

”The Watson IoT Platform can serve a broad range of advanced IoT use cases. The tech giant doubled down on IoT in 2015 with an investment of $3 billion dollars to create a new IoT business unit. The new org includes more than 1,000 researchers, developers, and designers dedicated specifically to developing the Watson IoT Platform. Since then, IBM has added significant capabilities to the platform, including augmented reality, cognitive capabilities, blockchain, edge analytics, analytics tooling, and natural language processing (to name a few). With a strong commitment to open source standards and a robust global partner ecosystem, IBM is well positioned for market leadership.”
