Abstract

This IDC study represents a vendor assessment of the current market for worldwide IoT applications platforms for Smart Cities. This research is a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the vendors based on a comprehensive set of parameters of both current and expected capabilities to IoT technology deployments in cities. This IDC MarketScape assesses seven software vendors in this space.

"As cities digitally transform and deploy Smart City capabilities to support positive environmental, financial, and social outcomes and improved efficiencies, a centralized platform for ingesting, analyzing, predicting, and controlling data and IoT devices enhances a city's ability to perform and excel. Accordingly, the emerging IoT platform plays a critical role in the future of cities," said Ruthbea Yesner, vice president, IDC Government Insights.
