Cumulocity Named a Visionary in the Inaugural Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Global Industrial AIoT Platforms
Cumulocity is the leading independent AIoT platform company that powers industrial AI and we’re proud to share that we’ve been named a Visionary in the first Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Global Industrial AIoT Platforms.
This is the first year Gartner has evaluated the industrial AIoT market as its own distinct category. In our view this is a meaningful shift from prior evaluations of industrial IoT platforms and reflects where the market is actually headed: AI-native capability, agentic operations, and MLOps maturity sit alongside the connectivity and device-management fundamentals that defined the category before.
We believe the recognition validates the direction we’ve been building toward for over a decade: an open, device-agnostic platform that gives industrial equipment makers the trusted foundation to build high-value digital services and move toward connected autonomous operations. We connect and manage assets at scale, turn raw OT data into AI-ready data, and give customers the deployment flexibility — from edge to cloud — that pure-cloud and pure-enterprise alternatives can’t match.
As the leading independent AIoT software company, every engineering, product, and support investment we make goes directly into our AIoT platform and is made available to all our customers. Our customers benefit from rapid innovation and our focus on delivering business outcomes in industrial AI. We’re proud to be named a Visionary and we believe that independence is exactly what this next phase of the market will reward.
— Bernd Gross, CEO
