The Internet of Things trend obliges, we talk about a new global alliance agreementbetween AT&T and IBM to develop solutions that help support the Internet of Things. Meaning that, both companies will combine their analytic platforms, cloud, and security technologies to gain more insights on data collected from machines in a variety of industries.

As you can imagine, smarter cities, cars, homes, machines and consumer devices will drive the growth of the Internet of Things along with the infrastructure that goes with them, unleashing a wave of new possibilities for data

gathering, predictive analytics, and automation.

As a forward-thinking IT leader with global operations, Connectikpeople.co is seduced within the dynamic where, both companies will harness vast quantities of data from assets such as mass transit vehicles, utility meters, and video cameras, with the goal to enable cities being able to better evaluate patterns and trends to improve urban planning and also enable utilities better manage their equipment to reduce costs.

In this deal, AT&T brings its M2M globally accessible network, devices, and Global Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) to help connect assets worldwide to a single global network. These technologies are managed through AT&T’s M2M platforms to securely collect, organize, store and send the data to applications.
