9th May

The increasing attention and accelerating innovation in the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) marketplace was clearly on display at the Axeda Connexion 2014 conference May 6-7 in Boston. The event brought together over 600 attendees from more than 150 companies worldwide to share perspectives and best practices regarding how to capitalize on the rapidly expanding consumer and commercial opportunities created by the IoT.

Axeda has been at the forefront of the IoT movement as a pioneer of the previous generation of machine-to-machine (M2M) technology. In the same way the vision of the ‘connected world’ has expanded from connected devices and systems to a broader set of connected objects and services, Axeda’s mission and product portfolio has also widened.

Over the past few years, Axeda has broadened its focus from helping its customers and partners more easily connect remote objects, devices, systems and services … Read More »



Building an Internet of Things Ecosystem – A Guest Blogpost in E-Commerce Times

9th May

One of the geographic regions asserting itself as an epicenter of technology innovation focused on the rapidly evolving Internet of Things is the Boston area. To bring greater attention to the widening array of area companies pursuing new business opportunities in the IoT market, the region recently hosted a series of IoT events, anchored by Axeda’s annual Connexion conference. I’ve spent the past dozen years flying from Boston to the San Francisco Bay Area on a regular basis to participate in industry events focused on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Cloud computing. I’ve often lamented that the Bay State couldn’t match the Bay Area when it comes to gathering together to share ideas and showcase new innovations. I’m excited to see the Boston climate change. Read THINKstrategies’ views about the industry implications of this change in E-Commerce Times.

Demonstrating a Cloud Computing Use Case Via Social Cause Marketing

Posted by thinkstrategies in Uncategorized. Comments Off on Demonstrating a Cloud Computing Use Case Via Social Cause Marketing

12th August

Nothing sells the value of a product or service better than demonstrating its utility in the context of a popular social cause. This marketing tactic not only illustrates the functional capabilities of the product or service, but also helps the vendor build goodwill in the marketplace.

This isn’t a new idea. Companies have been giving away their products and services in support of popular causes for years.

Now, the ‘on-demand’ and ‘cloud computing’ industries are using this marketing technique to illustrate how their solutions can be utilized in real-world situations. One of the most prominent examples is Salesforce.com’s 1/1/1 model which dedicates 1% of the company’s employee time, software licenses and corporate equity to social causes, including nonprofit agencies.

The most recent example to cross my radar-screen was Axeda’s “Where’s Leslie?” promotional campaign in association with this past weekend’s Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) bikeathon.
