Harbor Research and e-principles are announcing today that they have entered into a partnership to extend each firms coverage of the Pervasive Internet and M2M market opportunity.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 23, 2005 -- Harbor Research and e-principles of the U.K. have agreed to collaborate to address the growing demand for Pervasive Internet/M2M research and consulting services in both North America and in Europe.
The partnership will strengthen Harbors intent to expand its base of clients outside of North America and e-principles desire to reach beyond Europe -- where the importance of wireless and Internet-based device networking and machine-to-machine (M2M) communications have already gained solid footing among major product OEMs.
Robin Duke-Woolley, founder of e-principles, has recently worked closely with Harbor to develop a better understanding of the forces at work in the Pervasive Internet realm, and is lending his expertise on the wireless data market in Europe. Both Mr. Duke-Woolley and Harbor president Glen Allmendinger were on hand at this weeks Wireless M2M Congress in Duesseldorf, Germany to announce their cooperation.
A global, services-based economy represents a paradigm-shift that arises out of an equally important shift in underlying technologies -- the shift from purely human-centric electronic communication to global device-centric communication," commented Robin. Many business executives have yet to grasp this new market opportunity and the innovations that drive it. The phenomenon is vast and demands not only global coverage, but also informed, regional analysis of emerging technologies and adopter behavior."
Earlier this spring, the two firms first worked together on research that focused on the progress and outlook for M2M adoption across global regions and industry verticals. The success of that collaboration suggested the potential of a more formal partnership.
The alliance between Harbor Research and e-principles creates a strong team that will help executives understand the impact of unseen market and technology disruption on their businesses," said Glen Allmendinger. Our two firms will now combine strategic consulting with innovative business intelligence on pervasive and wireless application opportunities. This will significantly broaden our delivery of creative business strategies to assist emergent and established suppliers of technology, as well as adopters, in making best-informed decisions."
