Cloud ecosystem.

PTC will use its PTC ThingWorx and PTC Axeda Machine Cloud® technology to extend
Wave by providing access to streaming Internet of Things (IoT) data from smart,
connected products. Specifically, the integration will empower PTC and Salesforce
customers to view data generated in a unified experience. The insights gained from the

analytic strategies that deliver stronger business value to their customers.
PTC and Salesforce Analytics Cloud empower customers to transform data into
business insight, with benefits that include:
 A unified IoT analytics experience in the cloud. The PTC Axeda Machine
Cloud accelerates collaboration and offer customers a holistic view of the IoT
data across business systems.
 Competitive advantage through analytics. Data from smart, connected
products provides an opportunity for business organizations to make more
informed decisions that drive stronger customer and business value.
 Effective customer engagement. Putting data from smart, connected products
in the hands of customer-facing employees enables them to customize service
for better product performance, proactive customer service and improved
account management.

2. “Users can take advantage of the fast pace of the emerging IoT marketplace by sharing
data from smart, connected products across the enterprise at any phase of a product’s
lifecycle, with any person at any place in the world,” said Bill Zujewski, senior vice
president, marketing and strategy, PTC ThingWorx. “This type of innovative and
differentiated customer value will deliver a new level of competitive advantage.”
"The convergence of mobile, social and cloud computing has sparked a data revolution,
and companies today must leverage data-driven insights to connect with their
customers in a whole new way," said Keith Bigelow, senior vice president & general
manager, Salesforce Analytics Cloud, salesforce.com. "Salesforce Analytics Cloud is

as Axeda, customers can benefit from a wealth of additional analytic applications to
extend analytics for every business need, making it easier than ever for anyone to
explore and share data instantly, uncover new insights and take action from anywhere."
