Microsoft teams with Jasper to integrate IoT platforms

Microsoft is partnering with Jasper, an Internet of Things platform provider, to integrate Microsoft Azure IoT Suite, set to be released later this year, with Jasper's IoT services platform.

The integration, which has been ongoing for months, will provide enterprises with an integrated IoT management platform that will enable them to bring new IoT services to market faster, facilitate their shift from product to services businesses, and rapidly scale their IoT deployments, explained Jasper.

Microsoft unveiled its Azure IoT Suite at its Convergence conference in March. The suite will integrate Azure cloud capabilities to help firms connect, manage and analyze their IoT devices. The suite will provide enterprises with apps targeting IoT use cases – such as remote monitoring, asset management and predictive maintenance.

Jasper's cloud-based IoT platform, known as the Control Center, gives companies visibility, intelligence and control so that they can deploy, manage and monetize IoT services for connected devices.

What Jasper is doing with Microsoft is enabling an integration of all of the data coming from Control Center and exposing that to the users of the Azure IoT Suite. The work started a few months back and it will be available when Microsoft releases the Azure IoT Suite later this year.
