Carol Stream, Ill. (PRWEB) January 21, 2015 -- The implementation of IoT (Internet of Things) innovation seemingly knows no bounds. This can be seen in the variety of applications being used by the 2015 Connected World Awards finalists, including fleet management, mobile testing, PERS, risk management, and wearables, among others. This year’s finalists were announced today by Connected World magazine Editorial Director Peggy Smedley.

“Today, you will hear terms like IoT, M2M, and innovation getting thrown around quite often. But which organizations are actually turning these buzzwords into implementations?"

The Connected World Awards honor companies that have successfully leveraged IoT/M2M and connected devices to solve a critical pain point within their businesses while demonstrating quantifiable results.

The Connected World Awards finalists are determined by analysts, consultants, and professors within the IoT industry. To be selected as a member of the judging panel, one must be working within the IoT/connected-devices arena.

“Today, you will hear terms like IoT, M2M, and innovation getting thrown around quite often. But which organizations are actually turning these buzzwords into implementations? Not as many this year as in the past,” says Peggy Smedley, editorial director, Connected World magazine. “This year the judges were very discerning as only 19 companies will be taking home trophies. Now that the IoT is more established, the judges are expecting more tangible and quantifiable results.”

“We are looking for the very best out the companies we review and score each year. The Connected World Awards set the benchmark for all technology innovation and I was honored to take part in the selection process once again this year to uncover some of companies leading the technology charge,” explains Gregory Thomas, professor, design and director, Center for Design Research, University of Kansas.

"The Connected World Awards have set the standard for recognition of early adopters of M2M and IoT technology. I have been judging these awards since the beginning and have always found the nominees to represent the cutting edge when it comes to leveraging connected devices,” says Dan Miklovic, principal analyst, LNS Research. “The winners, as selected by the judging panel, truly represent the best of the best when it comes to using the IoT.”

Now that the finalists have been announced, the gold, silver, and bronze winners will be unveiled on February 23 at a formal gala during the Connected World Conference.

Held in partnership with University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Center for Information Assurance and Joint Forensics Research (The Center), the 2015 Connected World Conference will gather professionals together, creating a call-to-action and developing a take-away security strategy to protect our connections to the nation’s most critical infrastructures. The event will take place February 23-24 at the Birmingham Marriott in Alabama.
