The advances to the industrial internet have accelerated the capacity to deploy, automate, orchestrate and secure all different types of technology behind the scenes allowing us to put people first. There’s a level of efficiency and transparency that today’s consumers demand, and we believe there’s an opportunity to meet that demand,” added Ries.
