The increasingly important market drivers of security, big data, and robust hybrid infrastructures in the next 3-5 years will enable new major players to merge with the Industrial Internet (Internet of Things) creating vast shifts in value.══ WHY IT MATTERS ══We believe that there are a number of both public and private companies today with revenues between $50 and $500 million that are considerably undervalued, that have some of the existing technology that could comprise this platform/infrastructure. Our basic supposition is that one of these current entities could be acquired, repositioned as a platform/infrastructure play for the Industrial Internet, and with new software capabilities added organically and through acquisition will deliver investors superior and long-term returns.══ SPECIALTIES ══Strategic Communications | Crisis Management | Turnaround | Product Launch | Strategic Partnering | Inflection Point Management | Management | Harnessing Rapid Growth | Team Building | Sales | Marketing | Strategic Planning | Business Strategy | Consultant
