Is Enterprise M2M an oxymoron? After attending the CTIA Wireless show recently it would seem that way. Most of the companies I saw had a very bottom-up view of the world. The focus is on getting connection to the asset, collecting data, and making that data available on the network. After that, it's up to you - good luck!

We agree that establishing the connection is important, but it's only the beginning if you want to create true enterprise-class M2M applications. Our SmartLink platform delivered as a service (PaaS) has the foundation of scale, security, integration and features you need to build Enterprise M2M applications.

Customers and partners recognize the need. We had a sales meeting last week and invited our partners to attend. The idea was to connect our sales teams so they understand how to provide the complete solution that our joint customers are demanding. With only 2 weeks notice, 14 partners attended the meeting, and the conversation was great. All parties are excited about the opportunity to finally bring M2M applications up to the enterprise level.
