Consortium Rebrands to Focus More on IoT Systems

The Industrial Internet Consortium has rebranded with a new direction and a new name: the Industry IoT Consortium, the organization announced in an Aug. 17 press release.

IIC has become the world’s leading organization transforming business and society by accelerating the Industrial IoT. The consortium’s new mission is to bring transformative business value to organizations, industry, and society by accelerating the adoption of trustworthy IoT systems. IIC’s new focus will drive technology innovation that fosters business transformation so that organizations can realize a return on their IoT investments.

The new direction will strengthen the IIC ecosystem by unifying members around successful IoT deployment outcomes. New programs, which combine several approaches to digital transformation, will identify customer pain points, improve go-to-market abilities, and enhance business outcomes. Existing programs will change to reflect this focus, and new initiatives will emerge to help members reach more of their customers.

IIC will continue its work on best-practice frameworks, innovative testbeds, and providing standards requirements to standards development organizations. It will also target IT, networks, manufacturing, energy and utilities, healthcare markets, and academia and research.

The newly branded IIC will help organizations identify best technology practices, build credible brands, and grow their businesses.
