Cross Section and Deep Dive into
GE Predix.

@renatco
"Your major competitor in
10 years - if you survive
that long - probably does
not exist today”
Steve Prentice
Vice President and Gartner Fellow

@renatco
“GE is the only company
from original Dow Jones that
still there, and we are betting
the farm on Predix. Over the
next 5-10 years, we will
migrate all of our existing
customers from legacy
products to Predix.”
Greg Petroff
Chief Experience Officer, GE Digital

Reality
Every business is now
a software business.
A shoe company had to become a
software company. Began selling
fitness experience relying heavily on
data and wearable devices.

@renatco
“Southwest Airlines
often don’t stop engines.
Emirates often fly the first
500 feet up in sand-filled
air. Engines can adopt.”
