predix is the only software platform that offers complete connectivity from the edge to the cloud and computing capabilities at every level of the industrial software stack. combining predix with servicemax technologies will help industrial customers accelerate productivity outcomes for industry by combining cloud-based mobile applications with predix. this acquisition brings together the use of digital twins, cloud applications and big data analytics with world-class field services domain expertise to unlock asset productivity for industrial customers. with this acquisition, ge will add analytics and insights into the servicemax logistics, workforce optimization and deployment models.

“this acquisition advances our vision of building a predix-powered industrial world. improved productivity is critical for industry, and digitizing field services is a cornerstone of a successful digital industrial strategy,” said bill ruh, ceo, ge digital. “by combining our technologies with servicemax, we continue to enhance the overall predix technology stack for our customers. this transaction, along with our previous acquisitions of wurldtech, meridium, bitstew and wise.io, is directly aligned with our strategy to drive growth both inorganically and organically by building the capabilities to support the digital industrial transformation through predix, apm and the digital thread.”
