Imagine updating a fleet of connected vending machines overnight only to discover they can no longer accept credit cards. And, sales have ground to a halt. A connected machine is your company’s cash register, so when it stops working, that’s not just an operations problem. In this clip from “IoT Real Talk,” Aeris Chief Commercial Officer Mark Cratsenburg shares this hypothetical scenario to show why !oT visibility matters to more than just the operations team: - Operations can spot what changed after the update - Product teams can see how devices behave in the field - Business leaders can catch problems that put revenue at risk Hear the full conversation on “IoT Real Talk” Episode 17, “From Connection to Control: How IoT Visibility Drives Operational Optimization,” at the Aeris Website - https://lnkd.in/dZWCnYnb Or tune into wherever you listen to podcasts: YouTube - https://lnkd.in/dvcxVU8N Apple - https://lnkd.in/ddSgqBa7 Spotify - https://lnkd.in/daTagN6B #AerisIoT #AerisIoTWatchtower #IoTPodcast #IoTRealTalk #TechPodcast #IoTMonitoring #CellularIoT #IoTConnectivity #IoTVisibility

One misbehaving IoT device is a headache. What about 100,000? When IoT programs span thousands - or millions - of devices across multiple networks and regions, small problems can become expensive fast. Especially when fixing them means sending someone into the field. In this clip from “IoT Real Talk,” Mark Cratsenburg, Chief Commercial Officer for the IoT Business Unit at Aeris, explains how deeper visibility helps teams: - Catch patterns before problems spread - Avoid costly service calls and disruptions - Manage IoT programs instead of constantly putting out fires Hear the full conversation on “IoT Real Talk” Episode 17, “From Connection to Control: How IoT Visibility Drives Operational Optimization,” at the Aeris Website - https://lnkd.in/dZWCnYnb Or tune into wherever you listen to podcasts: YouTube - https://lnkd.in/dvcxVU8N Apple - https://lnkd.in/ddSgqBa7 Spotify - https://lnkd.in/daTagN6B #AerisIoT #AerisIoTWatchtower #IoTPodcast #IoTRealTalk #TechPodcast #IoTMonitoring #CellularIoT #IoTConnectivity #IoTVisibility

As AI agents shift from simply answering questions to taking action, the companies positioned closest to the point of decision-making will hold a critical advantage in the next era of enterprise technology. In this Forbes Technology Council article, I examine how enterprise value is moving toward the layers where intelligence, connectivity, and real-time action intersect. I share my perspectives on: • The rise of AI-driven enforcement and autonomous decision-making • How programmable networks and connected devices are transforming operations • The strategic importance of owning infrastructure, data, and control layers • Building AI systems that are not only autonomous, but governable and accountable.

The FIFA World Cup is on the world stage right now, and in 2030 it comes to Morocco, the country that shaped me. It has me reflecting on the journey from Morocco to where I am now. I grew up with one uncompromising belief- that knowledge, excellence, and continuous learning are the only foundations that last. That belief carried me from Morocco to Paris, across Europe and Asia, to North America, and through three decades building technology businesses: a $4B cloud business at Microsoft, a $1.4B SaaS business at Sage, global channel ecosystems at Splunk, and, for the past year and a half, leading Aeris. Choosing Aeris was one of those “aha” moments that I share in my new article. It’s the kind that makes thirty years of experience snap into focus.
