M2M magazine has announced the M2M 100 list for 2010. This prestigious list of the most influential companies in the machine-to-machine space is published in conjunction with the 2010 M2M Sourcebook, which also features unique custom research on the market by the editors of M2M magazine. M2M Data Corp is proud to be listed again this year on the M2M 100 list.
The M2M 100 is a directory of the most important and influential machine-to-machine technology providers as determined by the editors of M2M magazine and its editorial advisory board. It is designed to provide a snapshot of the market as it exists today and the companies with the greatest impact on its direction.
This past year, the M2M industry did see noteworthy market consolidation, but also found itself continuing the pattern of stability that has been prominent in recent years. Only eight new companies were added to the M2M 100 list in 2010. Among the new additions for 2010 were big names like Google and Cisco Systems, among others-companies that, while large and well-established overall, are just beginning to make M2M a strategic initiative.
"The M2M 100 represents the leaders in a rapidly changing marketplace, especially as machine-to-machine extends its reach into B2B, and now B2C," says Peggy Smedley, editorial director, M2M magazine. "Right now, we are witnessing the evolution of this industry, and the 100 companies named are the face of the market today as well as what we see in the future."
Companies are chosen for the M2M 100 based on a number of criteria, including strength and number of customer references; establishment in the market; growth potential; and active involvement in and support for the M2M community.
"The machine-to-machine industry is providing solutions that streamline processes and generate additional opportunities for those who are deploying them. Because of this, M2M has continued to broaden its reach, even in these struggling economic times," says Mike Carrozzo, chief editor, M2M magazine.
