ThingWorx™ announced in mid July 2013, a global reseller alliance with JAL21. This partnership allows JAL21 to resell the ThingWorx software platform through Southern Europe and Latin America, expanding the reach of ThingWorx-powered Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things solutions within those regions.

This partnership combines JAL21’s executive and business development experience in the telco, Internet, and IT industries together with ThingWorx, the industry’s first application development platform designed to accelerate the development of innovative M2M applications for the emerging connected world. This agreement allows JAL21 to focus on M2M industries including manufacturing, utilities, and energy, and emerging Internet of Things businesses, such as smart cities, smart infrastructure, and smart transportation.

“We are pleased to have such talented partners to help us grow our international business,” stated Russ Fadel, CEO and co-founder of ThingWorx. “JAL21’s rich experience in telco and Internet technologies, combined with its local presence in Spain and Latin America, make them an ideal partner to drive growth of the emerging connected world. With the predicted 50 billion connected ‘things’ by 2020, we believe there will need to be at least 5 million applications created to drive value. JAL21′s industry and market focus, together with the ThingWorx rapid application enablement platform, will be instrumental in delivering this value and the promise of the connected world.”
