It is easy to see the future as an IoT/IoE eventuality. Its a natural enhancement to the way we operate and live. The challenge of todays industry isn't the predicting of the possible future, its trying to understand how to get from where we are now to the pervasive technology era of IoE. We still have a massive void between these two points in time and most organisations struggle with the roadmap forward and therefore have no real idea of how to prepare and take advantage of new innovation. There is a predictable tipping point. This is the Industrialisation of IoT where the cost of solutions become affordable and practical to implement. But unlike any other revolution, this tipping point does not take time to 'build up'. It will happen overnight before anyone realizes. Being able to identify this dramatic transition, will provide competitive advantages and change business models almost instantly to those who are prepared.The three core areas:Transport -> CommunicationsInformation -> Meshed Data CentresTelemetry -> Object Identities, Transaction recording and analyticsThese are the foundations of what I am building.

Data Centres and power have traditionally been the weakest link in the delivery of cost effective IT services. You rarely hear of a Data Centre offering improved services or saving you money on what you are spending with them after you've signed your contract. Welcome to the revolution.

We are unique in the market at the present time and an agent for change in the industry. If you recognise that power is a cost to your IT services that you cannot control, if you feel the pressure of needing to improve the bottom line of your IT services, then you do need to come speak to us.As one of the founding members and the Solutions Director in Redcloud, my team can provide you the ability to finally control a big part of your IT cost.
