Singapore, September 15, 2017 –
Software AG (Frankfurt TecDAX: SOW) today continued its Internet of Things
innovation drive with the launch of an extendedCumulocity IoT technology portfolio for cloud-based IoT platform services
enablement. Cumulocity IoT will address today’s market demand for easy, fast,
and scalable IoT solutions to support enterprises of all sizes, regardless of
the level of sophistication of their IoT requirements. Recent market research
shows that whereas nearly 90 percent of executives surveyed feel the Industrial
Internet of Things (IIoT) is critical to their companies’ success, only 16
percent have a comprehensive IIoT roadmap. The new Cumulocity IoT portfolio
addresses this gap by offering self-service IoT solutions to enable
organizations to develop their own IoT applications and solutions. Supporting
customers, partners and suppliers through innovative, collaborative digital
business models and “smart” IoT products and services is the driving force
behind Software AG’s portfolio strategy.

The Cumulocity IoT portfolio operates at the edge, in the cloud or on premise –
giving total customer freedom and choice in designing, building, deploying and
upgrading enterprise IoT platform, solutions and services. It includes a range
of pre-packaged solutions such as Condition Monitoring, Predictive Maintenance
and Track & Trace, as well as quick and easy device and sensor management,
thus  bringing the worlds of IT and operational technology (OT) together.
This freedom of choice allows for faster  IoT innovation and adoption at a
customer driven pace: from streamlining and efficiency of enterprise production
processes – through total customer interaction and increased retention – by
developing digital business models and the smart products and services demanded
by today’s digital markets.

Cumulocity IoT brings together the
power of Software AG’s Digital Business Platform and the original Cumulocity  products  portfolio into a
single, comprehensive and leading IoT portfolio. The Cumulocity IoT portfolio
will take full advantage of Software AG’s industry-leading integration,
business process, advanced analytics and machine learning capabilities, based
on its heritage in enterprise middleware platform leadership.

It meets the needs of two distinct
groups in the IoT market :

1.
Companies
using IoT to enhance their own products and services

2.
IoT service
providers seeking to build and commercialize an IoT platfom

Wolfram Jost, Chief Technology Officer, Software AG, noted: “Cumulocity IoT is unique in that it provides
enterprises with the ability to very quickly start limited scale, cloud-based
IoT projects and, as their sophistication grows, be confident to build
IoT platform and IoT services that will grow effortlessly with them.
Enterprises can develop and implement IoT services at the optimal balance
between risk and ambition, at their pace, at their choice. Cumulocity IoT
is already in use by leading technology companies like Deutsche Telekom,
Gardner Denver, Octo Telematics, NTT Communication, Reliance Group, and many
more. This gives us a head start in our ambition to become a leading Technology
provider in the IoT domain.”

Jost continued: “We recently
announced a joint venture in the IoT area which fully underlines our commitment
to this growing market. The joint venture calledADAMOS is a major
IoT collaborative alliance with the leading manufacturing enterprises Dürr,
Zeiss, DMG Mori and ASM PT. The purpose of this IoT alliance is to establish
global industry standards for the manufacturing sector using Software AG’s
Cumulocity IoT as the technology foundation. ADAMOS partners and their
customers will be able to leverage a comprehensive IoT platform and services at
a fraction of the cost of developing their own solutions in a significantly
shorter period of time.”

Anneliese Schulz, Vice President, Software
AG Asia, noted: “Worldwide spending on the IoT is growing rapidly, and it is
Asia-Pacific that is set to lead the growth in IoT spending, with analysts
expecting it to be at least 40 percent of the worldwide
total. Software AG partners with best-of-breed companies that enable
connecting things to edge analytics, to machine learning and to industry
solutions to provide the most complete end-to-end IoT ecosystem in the industry
available here in Asia.”
