GE’s Predix software platform, which enables industrial machines to connect to the “industrial internet,” will soon be moving to Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform, allowing users to analyse and share data using Microsoft applications. A big win for Microsoft in the battle for the best IoT cloud platform.
The partnership will allow Predix customers to access Microsoft Azure capabilities such as natural language processing, artificial intelligence, data visualization and integration with Microsoft’s Office 365 suite of online workplace productivity apps and other software.
