Rose Schooler, VP of the IoT Strategy Office at Intel
Intel, and Wipro Ltd, a global information technology, consulting, and business process services company, are both joining the International M2M Council. The IMC is a global trade association for the Internet of Things (or machine-to-machine — M2M — communications). The IMC, which now has boasts more than 10,000 members comprised mainly of OEMs, enterprise users, and applications developers, aims to boost understanding and sales in IoT.
“The IMC is an industry-leading professional organisation that is reaching out to adopters of IoT technology on a broad scale. The organisation is gaining an average of 275 new members per week – members that are developing, buying, and deploying IoT solutions. Clearly, there is a demand in the market to learn more,” says Rose Schooler, vice president of the IoT Strategy Office at Intel, who sits on the IMC Board of Governors. The IMC attracts new members by producing content that is geared to various vertical markets, including energy, logistics, healthcare, transportation, construction, and retail, among others.
