Harbor Research and e-principles to Collaborate on Developing Pervasive Internet/M2M Research and Consulting Services
Harbor Research and e-principles are announcing today that they have entered into a partnership to extend each firm’s 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 Harbor’s 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 week’s
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.”
