The IoT platform is a ‘low-code, high-productivity’ platform-as-a-service and is used for scaling AI and IoT to an enterprise level. C3 IoT expects the collaboration to enable customers to develop AI-based applications at a much quicker rate.
“With this partnership, two market leaders are joining forces to drive digital transformation at the world’s leading organizations,” said C3 IoT CEO, Thomas M. Siebel. “Combining the market reach of Microsoft, the amazing power of Microsoft Azure, and the capability of the C3 IoT AI platform, we will dramatically accelerate the adoption of AI, IoT, and elastic cloud computing globally.”
Microsoft and C3 IoT will conduct co-marketing and co-selling of the IoT platform powered by Azure. It will also train dedicated teams to help enterprise customers make the most out of the collaboration from the beginning.
“AI is one of the most transformative technology paradigms of our time in its ability to empower companies, societies, and economies to achieve more,” said executive vice president of worldwide commercial business at Microsoft, Judson Althoff. “C3 IoT’s proven technology and strong customer relationships make them an ideal partner in helping drive forward AI-based solutions built on the intelligent cloud.”
Microsoft has invested a lot of time and money over the past few years on IoT and AI, which are both largely powered by cloud services. To cut some of Amazon Web Services hold of the market, the company has been actively looking for partners in these fields, with C3 IoT being the latest collaborator.
