Dell bundles bundle of systems-bundlers into its IoT van

The Dell EMC borg has chucked a slack handful of systems integrators into its Internet of Things Solutions Partner Program, it says.

The routine business decision “is reflective of Dell’s effort to build a holistic ecosystem of IoT solutions that span industries” according to the usual burbling from Dell's PR speakers.

The lucky firms are named as Action Point, Datatrend Technologies, L&T Technology Services and Mobiliya.

“We’re passionate about providing our customers with a comprehensive IoT ecosystem to help them innovate and move an idea from concept to reality,” said Jeff Brown, Dell's veep for IoT and embedded PC sales, in a canned quote. “By adding SIs into the mix, we are helping to bridge the gap between IT and OT, and transform IoT into a profitable market reality.”

A whole host of supporting canned quotes supplied by Dell unsurprisingly sang Dell's praises and said how wonderful it is to be supporting these IoT firms.

One such quote was attributed to Krish Kupathil of Mobiliya and said: “For IoT initiatives, Mobiliya provides its device-to-cloud system integration expertise along with deep knowledge in various IoT protocols and security. The combined competencies of both companies will provide significant value-add to customers across different industries.”

Dell says it “takes a pragmatic approach to the Internet of Things” by “leveraging your current technology investments” to “enable analytics-driven action”. El Reg trusts that security is at the forefront of this, given how easy it is for miscreants to create IoT-powered botnets. ®
