[Data Management - Data Visualization]

Coherence and visual information: A powerful large data visualization platform communicating information faster and more coherently, than individual traditional reports. The platform currently processes 1Billion+ transactions, distributes 3M+ data per day from 10k sensors, and has scalability capabilities.

[Process Optimization - Real Time Alerts]

Faster action and decision-making process: Thanks to the real-time alerts coming from Sentilo platform (later, called Thingtia) the stakeholders are able to react quicker to emerging situations, and to apply new processes that would not have been possible before.

[Management Effectiveness - Big Data Analysis]

Boost productivity and results: The platform made the parties involved understand and have a current picture of global assets, as well as uncover hidden information and ultimately drive operations more efficiently.
