Key Platform Characteristics

ThingWorx is innovative M2M platform for building connected applications. The platform brings together an unique set of technologies specifically designed to address the challenges of today's increasingly connected world.

Codeless Mashup Builder Build Browser-independent, mobile friendly User Experiences in minutes
	ThingWorx "drag and drop" Mashup Builder empowers developers and business users to rapidly create rich, interactive applications, real-time dashboards, collaborative workspaces, and mobile interfaces without the need for coding. This next-generation application builder reduces development time and produces high quality, scalable connected applications which allows companies to accelerate the pace at which they can deliver value-add solutions, resulting in greater market share against new and existing competitors.
Model-Based Development Reduce development time by 10X to spur innovation and reduce time to market
	ThingWorx comprehensive Application Design and Development Tools allow companies to rapidly build M2M applications that take advantage of data and interactions from connected devices and remote systems. The "codeless" model-based development environment enables users to virtually model the Services, Storage, Events, Collaboration, and Relationships for the "Things" in your world, resulting in high levels of efficiency and reuse, increasing development velocity by 10X.
Always-On Real-Time Connectivity Securely and easily connect to your devices no matter where they are located
	ThingWorx patented AlwaysOn Connectivity gives companies fast and secure remote access to remote devices and equipment. Users benefit from common machine-to-machine (M2M) functionality such as software installation, file transfer, and remote desktop to simplify the maintenance and troubleshooting of a remote system or device. The technology provides a transparent, secure, IT friendly mechanism designed for bidirectional "non-polled" communications to devices and equipment across any network topology.
Search-based Intelligence Put tribal knowledge, corporate information and device data at your fingertips
	ThingWorx SQUEAL™ (Search, Query, and Analysis) brings Search to the world of connected devices and distributed data. With SQUEAL's interactive search capabilities, users can now correlate data that delivers answers to key business questions. Pertinent and related collaboration data, line-of-business system records, and equipment data get returned in a single search, speeding problem resolution and enabling innovation.
Event-Driven Execution and "3D" Storage Performance and Semantic Data Storage provide the foundation for connected applications
	ThingWorx's event-driven execution engine and 3-Dimensional storage allows companies to make business sense of the massive amounts of data from their people, systems, and connected "Things" - making the data useful and actionable. The platform supports scale requirements for 100K's of devices, and provides connectivity, storage, analysis, execution, and collaboration capabilities required for applications in today's connected world. It also features a data collection engine that provides unified, semantic storage for time-series, structured, and social data at rates 10X faster than traditional RDBs.

Deployment Options

ThingWorx realizes that the needs of each business is different and therefore allows cloud, hosted, on-premise, embedded, and hybrid deployment scenarios. The Platform's patented through firewall communication technology simplifies cross firewall deployment scenarios.
