Last week, Microsoft moved to beef up its own IoT offerings by buying IoT platform and services provider Solair. I like this deal because it gives Microsoft — which has been heavy on technology but short on actual IoT user stories — a company that can point to a good customer base with actual deployed IoT applications across various industries. Acquiring Solair, Microsoft also gets IoT hardware and IoT industry expertise, along with focused applications.
