Expanded Partner Ecosystem Helps Electric Imp Surpass 175 Billion Customer Messages Exchanged With IoT Devices Deployed in 105 Countries

Autodesk (News - Alert) Forge Conference - Electric Imp, the global leader providing a powerful Internet of Things (IoT) platform that securely connects devices to advanced cloud computing resources, announces the addition of Autodesk and Skyhook to its broad enterprise application partner ecosystem.

"We're now reaching a point in the market where companies are moving from tests and pilots of connected devices to full-scale deployments," said Hugo Fiennes, CEO Electric Imp. "These moves require significantly more diligence in device production and maintenance, and also need more complete enterprise integration to ensure that IoT is being used most effectively for the business. Our new partnerships and integrations with Autodesk Fusion Connect (News - Alert) and Skyhook help unlock the value of device data by making it accessible, actionable and geographically relevant."

Autodesk Partnership:

As an Autodesk Fusion Connect partner, the integration of Fusion Connect with Electric Imp's IoT Connectivity Platform will help ensure that edge sensor and device data is delivered securely to the cloud to gain insights into product performance, help predict failures, create new revenue strams and optimize supply chain. Fusion Connect is a no-code, cloud service, enterprise IoT service that gives designers the ability to collect the data being generated by the products they offer. Fusion Connect also offers designers the ability to analyze and manage that data through tools that can be operated by anyone, not just software developers. The integration of Electric Imp and Fusion Connect will be showcased at Autodesk Forge Conference, June 15 and 16 in San Francisco, California.
