The report researches, analyzes and scores eight vendors against written and quantitative multi-dimensional criteria for Industrial IoT platforms, measuring current offering, strategy, and market presence.
Forrester named Siemens as a “Leader”. According to the report, “MindSphere offers a comprehensive array of capabilities to simplify routine monitoring, management, and interaction with connected devices, even at scale. MindSphere is delivered, as a service, from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and (in China) Alibaba and can also be installed in other environments. Developer support and training are comprehensive and localized, and the vendor offers them in 13 languages.” Siemens received the highest possible scores in the support for digital industrial platform, execution roadmap and average deal size criteria and the highest score in the market presence category.

We will work to build on this momentum to continue to help our customers achieve their goals with IIoT.”
