Six months ago‚ C3 Energy‚ the IoT platform provider that enterprise software pioneer Tom Siebel launched in 2009‚ broadened its focus beyond the energy market. IOT Journal spoke with him about the transition and why he thinks every system—even the human body—is becoming part of the Internet of Things.
Jun 16‚ 2016—Silicon Valley stalwart Tom Siebel has spent four decades developing enterprise software‚ beginning as an early executive at Oracle and later founding CRM software company Siebel Systems‚ which Oracle acquired in 2006.
