Caterpillar's Operational Technology Leader Marty Groover recently gave a compelling talk at our Leonardo Live event in Frankfurt talking about how Caterpillar's Live Factory initiative by using realtime data, and one single version of the truth is empowering their workforce, their sales channel, and their boardroom to make informed decisions.

I asked him to come on the show to discuss these initiatives.

Marty will also be attending our upcoming Leonardo Live event in Chicago on November 2-3rd. If you want to hear more from him or our other customers and partners, you can register to attend at http://events.sap.com/sap-leonardo-na-summit/en/home

I recently caught up with SAP's Nils Herzberg and we talked about the Industrial Internet of Things, why it is important to SAP, and SAP's customers.

Schneider Electric's John Tuccillo and GE's Greg Petroff are both members of the Industrial Internet Consortium's steering committee (John is the Chair of the committee), and I caught up with them recently at a joint meeting with the Platform Industry 4.0 event to talk about the Industrial Internet of Things

At the recent IIC and Platform Industry 4.0 event I had the chance to have a fascinating discussion with Dr Richard Soley about the Industrial Internet Consortium, and the trends in the industrial Internet of Things.
