“Partners are integral to Software AG’s success and we pride ourselves on building personalized relationships with each of them based on their own unique digital transformation journeys, many of which include IoT,” said Jason Johns, General Manager, Global Alliances & Channels, Software AG. “We're honored to be included in CRN’s IoT 50 list, as IoT continues to help organizations become truly connected enterprises – delighting customers, making better decisions and speeding up change. We look forward to continuing to be an asset to our partners accelerate their ROI and time to market with IoT solutions.”

The 2021 IoT 50 is an annual list that highlights the leading IT vendors that are changing the game through cutting-edge IoT offerings that redefine what’s possible. These organizations have demonstrated their IT expertise by utilizing IoT to improve business operations and increase productivity, innovation and growth. The list is chosen by a panel of select CRN editors, with insight from industry-leading solution providers, on the quality of the vendors’ technology portfolios, their IT channel influence and their effectiveness to invoke transformation and advancement in the industry through innovation. The 2021 IoT 50 list recognizes the most distinguished IT vendors for their groundbreaking IoT offerings in hardware, software, connectivity, industrial and security.

Software AG recently launched PartnerConnect, its global partner program representing 400+ business and technology partnerships. Announced in late February, PartnerConnect includes a new portal, trainings and incentives to help ensure partners meet evolving customer needs, increase profit and experience a strong ROI.

Software AG’s leading IoT offering, Cumulocity, connects all the elements that make up an organization’s IoT ecosystem, allowing enterprises to prove ROI quickly, launch solutions efficiently and connect and manage assets while simplifying integrations with other enterprises.

As more and more devices become connected to each other and the internet, IoT solutions have become key for many businesses because of the vast trove of mission-critical data they uncover. Technology from the IoT 50 companies is serving as building blocks for the high-growth edge computing market as the IT channel builds solutions that process and share data as close to the source as possible.

“The 2021 CRN® IoT 50 list honors industry-leading vendors for their next-level products and services that seamlessly link a variety of objects and devices with complex infrastructures, capabilities, and data analytics to support remote workforces and new ways of connecting,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. “CRN is proud to recognize these vendors for their hard work in improving operations and transforming businesses through cutting-edge offerings.”

The 2021 CRN IoT 50 list will be featured in the April issue of CRN Magazine and online at www.CRN.com/IoT50.
