"IoT -- the capability for devices to connect via a network to cloud-based, off-premise applications -- is a substantial growth opportunity for channel partners and manufacturers who adapt to the new solutions and buying process," says Ken Edwards, a channel consultant for Zyme, the clear leader in the fast-growing discipline of channel data management (CDM). "The territorial channel boundaries that existed for decades between IT and industrial product channel partners are breaking down, enabled by the convergence of customer demand for IoT applications in industrial settings, and the complexity of delivering them in an integrated package."
