Microsoft has announced ‘Microsoft IoT Central’, a new software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering that claims to reduce the complexity of IoT solutions.
Microsoft IoT Central, said an official blog post, was a fully managed SaaS offering for customers and partners that enableds powerful IoT scenarios without requiring cloud solution expertise.
Built on the Azure Cloud, Microsoft IoT Central simplified the development process and made it easy and fast for customers to get started, making digital transformation more accessible to everyone.
Microsoft IoT Central will be available along with its existing platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution, Azure IoT Suite, which enables deep customisation and full control. This new IoT SaaS offering, said Microsoft, had the potential “to dramatically increase the speed at which manufacturers can innovate and bring new products to market,” as well as lower the barriers to creating IoT solutions that generate new revenue opportunities and better experiences for customers.
Microsoft IoT Central will be rolling out more publicly over the coming months.
