By extending the Salesforce Service Cloud out to the connected asset, Etherios and Axeda are redefining customer service and technical support by providing users with a 360 degree view of their customer and product interactions in one place.

“We believe that the shift to a more social enterprise is a positive disruptive force for businesses around the world,” says Mike Dannenfeldt, founder and CEO, Etherios. “A big part of this shift is what we call The Social Machine, which Axeda has brought to life.  They have been at the forefront of M2M for years and it is great to collaborate with a partner that not only understands the market and technology today, but where it will be five years from now.”

“Machines and products of all types are connecting to networks at a rapid rate.  Axeda delivers a virtual cloud for these connected products that allows companies to listen to machine chatter and collaborate with assets as they would with their customers and employees,” said Keith Bartlett, Axeda’s vice president of business development.  “Working with an expert integration partner like Etherios to enable cloud-to-cloud CRM integration will unlock the value of The Social Machine and its business intelligence for our customers.”
