By using Xively to evolve its product lines, Elektron can rapidly deliver a new breed of IoT-powered, subscription-based monitoring and control services designed to enhance customer relationships and create new revenue opportunities.
“We’re committed to helping customers transform their operations by harnessing the data our products produce and turning it into highly actionable, business-changing information.

Xively is the only vendor that could provide the complete set of IoT enablers—the IoT platform, consulting services and partner ecosystem—we needed to create truly connected experiences,” said David Davies, Group Head of Instrumentation, Monitoring & Control at Elektron Technology.
“Xively’s IoT platform enables the reliably-connected, highly-scalable and easy-to-manage offerings that are critical to our success. And by working with Xively Consulting Services, we benefit from experts who understand what it takes to develop and manage connected solutions that deliver real value.”
“We’re thrilled that Elektron, which is renowned for groundbreaking solutions, has chosen Xively as the foundation of its next-generation, IoT-based offerings,” said Les Yetton, General Manager, Xively. “It’s exciting to help such an innovative company move from ideation to realization, and reap the amazing benefits that IoT promises.”
