Reinforcing LNS's suppositions, we at Invensys have also seen a rising interest in cloud-based solutions for manufacturing, and industry as a whole.  As I discussed in my post last week, the cost effectiveness, scalability, and software on demand aspects of cloud make it an attractive proposition for manufacturers.  The ability to have secure computing with nearly 100% uptime quells most fears of breaches for users.  And, the plethora of providers offering industrial-focused solutions gives end users choices, bringing in competition and with it, innovation and breadth.

To see some of the choices you have for cloud-based industrial applications, visit our webpage, Invensys Cloud for Manufacturing.
