The IoT Channel Opportunity
BlueMetal, acquired by Insight Company almost a year ago, has been leveraging its partnerships to profit from the Internet of Things for almost two years.
The Watertown, Mass.-based company said its most prominent IoT application was when it worked with Weka Health Solutions and Microsoft to improve vaccine management, helping more people be protected against diseases. BlueMetal was also recently awarded IoT Partner of the Year by Microsoft during its Worldwide Partner Conference in July.
CRN talked to Scott Jamison, the VP of services at BlueMetal about the opportunities and challenges he is facing in IoT.
Note: This is the second of CRN's weekly IoT Channel Chronicles series, in-depth interviews with solution providers to dig into opportunities and challenges the channel is facing with the Internet of Things.
