The Philosophy of AI, ML and the IoT

Artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) go together like philosophy goes with Greece. It was AI, the IoT and a shared philosophy of openness that brought Software AG and Zementis together; first into a productive partnership and then into a merger of the two companies. Michael Zeller, co-founder of Zementis and now senior vice president of AI Strategy & Innovation at Software AG, said: "What we had in common was an open platform philosophy; that openness led us both to customer success during our partnership." The synergies were obvious, said Zeller. "As part of Software AG, we could do so much more; with Apama for streaming analytics and us for ML we can go way beyond what each could do separately." AI, along with machine learning (ML), offers organizations the ability to turn data into business value.
