The Power of IoT

IoT has already become a ubiquitous part of how customers do business and has pervasive applications from retail and healthcare to transportation and industry.

“Lenovo has a unique position in our industry because we can deliver the devices, smart connectivity and infrastructure required to create a great user experience and satisfy user needs,” said Jon Pershke, vice president, Business Group Strategy, Lenovo. “By working with our customers and partners to innovate, together we’re defining the future of technology. We’re delivering innovation like we showed today that solves customer problems by combining hardware, software and services to transform the user experience. This is our vision, and we showed some glimpses of the next wave of Lenovo innovation today.”

AWS IoT customers can reduce total cost of ownership with reliable, configurable and low cost PC end point devices for real-time data processing1. Lenovo makes it easy for commercial enterprises to quickly integrate IoT hardware and software into day-to-day operations for maximum business value. In selected verticals like Healthcare and Retail, Lenovo is building complete solutions with product and solution expertise.

Lenovo offers a broad portfolio of devices for IoT solutions ranging from smartphones to PCs to edge servers. IoT deployment options including traditional hardware fulfillment as well as device-as-a-service are available.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
