I follow this company since some time ago, they are evolving on IoT arena with a strong platform solution. I also follow the evolution of OpenRemote, and I’m willing to see how it evolves.
Related to thingworx it was a question of time that someone came and buy it. In the case of PTC, they had PLM solution and with this acquisition the will be move in short terms to offer M2M solutions, looking for long term niche: Service Life-cycle Management.
All industries are moving to a clear “service” approach and manufacturing industry is not an exception. So this acquisition is the natural move of an emerging company which have a clear strategy.
Is it a risk? sure!…
PTC has today PLM, ALM, CAD, SLM, IoT, the only natural piece of the puzzle is MES. Let’s see the next move.
