Harbor Research and e-principles to Collaborate on Developing Pervasive Internet/M2M Research and Consulting Services
Harbor Research and e-principles are announcing today that they
have entered into a partnership to extend each firm’s coverage of the Pervasive Internet and M2M market opportunity.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 23, 2005 -- Harbor Research and
e-principles of the U.K. have agreed to collaborate to address the
growing demand for Pervasive Internet/M2M research and consulting
services in both North America and in Europe.
The partnership will strengthen Harbor’s intent to expand its base of
clients outside of North America and e-principles’ desire to reach
beyond Europe -- where the importance of wireless and Internet-based
device networking and machine-to-machine (M2M) communications have
already gained solid footing among major product OEMs.
Robin Duke-Woolley, founder of e-principles, has recently worked
closely with Harbor to develop a better understanding of the forces at
work in the Pervasive Internet realm, and is lending his expertise on
the wireless data market in Europe. Both Mr. Duke-Woolley and Harbor
president Glen Allmendinger are on hand at this week’s Wireless M2M
Congress in Duesseldorf, Germany to announce their cooperation.
“A global, services-based economy represents a paradigm-shift that
arises out of an equally important shift in underlying technologies --
the shift from purely human-centric electronic communication to global
device-centric communication,” commented Mr. Duke-Woolley. “Many
business executives have yet to grasp this new market opportunity and
the innovations that drive it. The phenomenon is vast and demands not
only global coverage and but informed analysis of emerging technologies
and adopter behavior.”
Earlier this spring, the two firms first worked together on research
that focused on the progress and outlook for M2M adoption across global
regions and industry verticals. The success of that collaboration
suggested the potential of a more formal alignment.
“The alliance between Harbor Research and e-principles creates a strong
team that will help executives understand the impact of unseen market
and technology disruption on their businesses,” said Glen Allmendinger.
“Our two firms will now combine strategic consulting with innovative
business intelligence on pervasive and wireless application
opportunities. This will significantly broaden our delivery of creative
business strategies to assist emergent and established suppliers of
technology, as well as adopters, in making best-informed decisions.”
