by Brianna Crandall — November 21, 2016 — Building on its offering of apps for intelligent environments for customers across a variety of commercial and industrial industries, Current, powered by GE has added dozens of partners in recent months, more than tripling its digital partner ecosystem since June to reach nearly 60 total.
GE’s digital energy startup continues to build momentum in the intelligent environments space, adding 40 new partners to its broad application portfolio to meet customers’ unique needs. Along with its network of partners – whose expertise ranges from hospital wayfinding to office space management to retail layout optimization – Current is helping commercial and industrial customers optimize energy use and drive operational efficiency.
John Gordon, chief digital officer, Current, powered by GE, stated:
We’re continuing to grow our partner network to offer customers a holistic portfolio as they add intelligence to infrastructure. Integrating sensors and software to energy systems, like LED lighting or onsite solar, allows companies to better understand and manage energy use while also unlocking possibilities for operational intelligence and new business outcomes. As more businesses move toward connected solutions, it is important that we work with partners to offer a range of ready-to-install applications.
Current’s partner growth expands the applications that can be integrated into Predix, GE’s open software platform built specifically for the Industrial Internet — a key differentiator for the company.
