"Big data and the Internet of Things are disrupting entire markets, with machine data merging the virtual world with the physical world. We've really only just scratched the surface of how IoT will reshape sectors of the economy," said Quentin Gallivan, Chief Executive Officer, Pentaho, a Hitachi Data Systems company. "Our customers, some of the most innovative in the industry embraced big data early on and are now some of the emerging mavericks of IoT analytics taking the advantage of the technological disruption that is connecting people, data, and things."
According to McKinsey Global Institute "The Internet of Things: Mapping the Value Beyond the Hype," the IoT market could have an estimated total economic impact of $3.9 trillion to $11.1 trillion per year in 2025.

The Pentaho platform is perfectly suited to help customers unblock and unlock the value of IoT with the ability to manage pipelines of data and blend and deliver data to end-users within their application workflows.
"IoT applications can get very complex very quickly due to the extensive breadth and diversity of data sources and analytics involved, as well as the challenge with standards," said Vernon Turner, SVP of Enterprise Systems and IDC Fellow for The Internet of Things. "For companies and developers looking to unlock the value of IoT, the focus will be on technology vendors that provide an open and agile platform. With a broad offering of integration and analytics that is data source agnostic, Pentaho is well positioned in this extremely competitive IoT market."
