GE's PREDIX PLATFORM: Looking At The Road Ahead

The author is a Silicon Valley based IIoT industry analyst & co-founder of ArcInsight Research Partners, a research & advisory group. He has also trained with business strategy consulting firms, with additional qualifications in decision analytics, Bayesian-learning approaches & risk-assessment. I wrote about GE's Predix Platform last year in the context of its immensely successful Minds Machines Conferences where the company showcased a very compelling story about its quiet but steady transformation into a digital industrial company. This is a far cry from creating avatars in a consumer or mobile context. Industrial stakes are very high.
