Helsinki, Jan. 20, 2015: Finnish telecommunications company Elisa has launched the Elisa Internet of Things (IoT) service in Finland and Estonia. The service enables creating IoT applications and services quickly without the traditional software development process. Elisa IoT is a cloud-based open platform that offers tools for rapid software development, data storage and visualisation.
“We are creating an open development platform upon which Finnish and Estonian companies and students can begin innovating new IoT products and new business. The Internet of Things, encompassing everything around us, will eventually change the world, so the opportunity to start now provides a significant competitive advantage to our companies, said Timo Katajisto, Executive Vice President, Corporate Customers, Elisa, in a written statement.
Katajisto emphasised that one of the most important values of the IoT was that real time information could be mined out of the data of networked devices to be used in the management of business operations or product development.
Elisa IoT can enable the setting up of networked devices, applications utilising them and entire business operations without a large-scale and long-term IT product development process. Elisa IoT software development utilises the codeless tools of ThingWorx, the world’s leading IoT platform supplier, which speed up product development by several times.
All the data willl be stored in Finland in Elisa’s own data centers. The service package also includes ensuring data security and round-the-clock monitoring.
