As the senior sales executive at relayr, I am responsible for all North America sales activities. relayr is a young, rapidly growing company that has made tremendous strides in innovation and market penetration. Some of our current customers are in the smart building and smart building infrastructure (Minnesota Vikings stadium), elevators (Hundt and Schindler) manufacturing/industrial IoT (Krones bottling plant), agriculture, and smart cities (City of Paris, City of Berlin) among others. relayr set out to build a Cloud Platform as a Service to help enable the Internet of Things to take off. We were inspired by the old Cisco BlueBox from 1984. It was the first multi­protocol router, and it made different networking protocols interoperable. It meant that IBM networks could communicate with WANG networks, or Hewlett­-Packard networks, laying the next layer of the Internet. We see the same thing happening with the growing population of connected devices ­- they did not communicate with each other. relayr is building the interoperability cloud layer, connecting different devices from different manufacturers and providing the software for building new solutions across any device and any thing. relayr accelerates your business, whether it is global or local, through three easy and accessible tools:1. ­An open Cloud Platform2. Many open SDKs3. A connected sensor kit with tutorials, to enable first prototypes within minutes, and new product roll-outs within one business quarter We call the process “Innovation Acceleration” and it is broken down into three basic phases:1. Proof of concept2. Prototyping to pilot3. Pilot to rollout
