IT vendors predict that 2017 will be the year that the Internet of Things really hits the channel.
“Within IoT we’re seeing edge computing being a serious trend,” said Leslie Vitrano, director of marketing at APC by Schneider Electric. “Not just an IT trend, but a growth trend for both our partners and for vendors.”
“This is kind of challenging the way partners do business with their end users, and it’s also challenging – from a vendor perspective – it’s challenging us to be more technically integrated. It’s requiring multiple vendors to work together to provide a solution of various sizes to our partners,” she added.
“IoT is going to continue to be a force,” said Cisco PR Manager Ashley McCann.
