Gartner defines the market for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

[https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2970234-1&h=3863286185&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ptc.com%2Fen%2Fproducts%2Fiiot%3Futm_source%3Dprnewswire%26utm_medium%3Dpressrelease%26utm_campaign%3Dgartnermqiiot&a=Industrial+Internet+of+Things+(IIoT) ] platforms as "a set of integrated software capabilities to

improve asset management decision making and operational visibility and control

for plants, infrastructure and equipment within asset-intensive industries."

Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Industrial IoT Platforms is comprised of two axes

– "Ability to Execute" and "Completeness of Vision". Gartner's "Completeness of

vision" evaluation criteria encompasses a company's market understanding and

business model, along with its marketing, sales, offering (product),

vertical/industry, innovation, and geographic strategies.

"We are very proud to be named a Leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for

Industrial IoT Platforms," said Joe Biron, Divisional General Manager, IoT

Segment, PTC. "We believe that being recognized for our 'Completeness of

vision' is due to our understanding of the IIoT market, our innovation efforts,

and our ability to offer a business model that makes it simple for our

customers to be successful."
