GE CEO: Partners Need To 'Embrace The Future' For Internet of Things

by Lindsey O'Donnell, CRN, Aug. 17, 2016 – 

General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt came on stage at Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco this week to talk about how GE and Intel are approaching the Internet of Things from the industrial vertical.

Immelt said GE, which is big in the industrial space and other verticals, is seeing more digital transformation in businesses, particularly in operational technology, as they embrace the Internet of Things.

"We believe this digital transformation is important... we're in a line of demarcation for industrial companies where you either embrace the future or you'll find yourself not able to satisfy your customers," he said.
