By providing substantial value in terms of utility, M2M has opened up enormous market opportunities for vendors, solution providers, systems integrators and mobile network operators. Major technology trends in this realm are driving the creation of new applications that gather real-time data from diverse array of connected devices. The explosion of connected devices, the increased demand for digital content, cloud computing platforms, network optimization and versatility of applications has provided manifold advantages and productivity gains for the end users. By transitioning to resources like cloud-based computing, organizations now find it easy to accelerate internal M2M data flows with relevant, real-time data access via connections to cloud-based applications. This data can not only create context-aware views of applications, but also unlock complex event processing capabilities that are valuable across several industries.However, one of the biggest challenges in M2M is the possibility of risk involved, in the case of failure. Though these obstacles are rampant in the case of business transactions involving banks, they are less consequential--if the applications are related to consumer needs. While the future of M2M looks promising, the selection of right solutions and partners will be crucial for firms to take advantage of the developments.On that note, we present you a special edition on M2M technology special. In this edition, we are featuring 20 Most Promising M2M Solution Providers. Over the last few months, our editorial board has evaluated several technology companies. The chosen 20 are the ones who help customers deploy new capabilities and optimize the processes. Hope this list will help you in formalizing strategies for your organization.
