Member Benefits

One large corporation, systems integrator, or vendor cannot solve industry problems alone. Our members work together, leveraging their combined technical expertise in a neutral environment to solve larger problems that transform businesses. It's in the interest of members, and our collective pursuit of best practices in IoT via collaboration throughout the IoT ecosystem, to solve these problems for the industry. IIC member activities yield results that can influence go-to-market solutions and strategies and impact the business's bottom line.

Membership entitles your organization to have a voice in developing the best practices and influencing the standards of the industrial internet. Membership enables your organization to pool resources with other experts to foster innovative new products and services and to drive the kind of transformational change that individual companies struggle to achieve on their own. The overall value of this collaborative approach to innovation is described briefly by industry analyst and strategist, Joe Barkai, here.
