Commentary
Mark said: “It is great to be able to bring to the UK Nexer’s credentials for quickly creating practical solutions to demanding industry problems with Microsoft IoT, Data and AI technology. Microsoft has established a commanding industry position in IoT and AI, with a device-to-cloud story that is unmatched by any other cloud vendor. Here in the UK, with the multiple challenges posed by BREXIT, Covid-19 and the Climate Emergency, there is a market need for proven partners to support clients alongside Microsoft with their transformation journey”.
President and CEO of Nexer Insight David Österlindh commented: “It is the right time for Nexer Insight to enter the UK market. The IoT marketplace is a tough one for existing Microsoft partners – clients have ambitious plans for transformation but realising them poses technology and people change challenges far greater than previous screen-centred cloud applications. We’ve proven at Nexer that we can deliver for clients, and now we are doing it in the UK!”
Welcoming Nexer’s UK launch and Mark’s appointment, Dominique Bastemeijer, EMEA IoT Director for Microsoft commented, “Nexer Insight have shown through work in the Nordics and Eastern Europe that they are ninjas with Microsoft IoT technology, so their growth plans in the UK are good news for Microsoft teams needing a strong local partner!”
