C3 IoT: Full-Stack IoT Development Platform for Next-Gen Enterprises

CIO VendorThomas M. Siebel, Chairman & CEO
As an avid innovator, Thomas M. Siebel, Chairman and CEO of C3 IoT, has always been passionate to create and adopt new business methodologies. With an entrepreneurial mindset, the industry veteran likes to crack problems and embraces robust technologies to drive his business. He believes, the keystone to success for any enterprise in the current marketplace is the effective usage of cloud computing and IoT applications to streamline business processes. However, the lack of performance visibility into the technology agnostic platforms and their accompanying components remains a major hurdle for operational efficiency. C3 IoT plays a significant role at the forefront of enabling enterprises across all verticals to realize the immediate business benefits of elastic cloud computing in ways that were unexplored even a few years ago. With C3 IoT, organizations are attaining unprecedented levels of operational efficiency, productivity, and competitive advantage.

The Redwood City, CA based firm offers a full-stack development platform for next-generation enterprise—IoT applications and business processes. The enterprise platform provides a unified and cohesive product architecture and suite of proven cross-industry software applications to deliver end-to-end solution across the value chain.

Built over 7 years of tedious work, the C3 IoT platform provides a complete enterprise-scale platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution enabling the rapid design, development, deployment, and operation of next-generation software applications. Unlocking data driven insights, it allows users to rapidly develop custom apps, integrate with existing enterprise and web apps, connect data from any system, and manage it all from any place. In addition, the platform offers an elastic cloud distributed computing architecture capable of handling peta-scale data sets growing by hundreds of terabytes per day, bursting at millions of messages per second. With 70 million meters and sensors under management at more than 20 enterprise-scale production deployments worldwide, the C3 IoT platform has achieved unprecedented performance results.

Our technology solutions empower step-function improvements in our customers’ business performance


Initially focused on the energy industry, C3 IoT now provides a suite of pre-built, cross-industry applications developed on its platform, that facilitate IoT business transformation for organizations in energy, manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and financial services sectors. Furthermore, the suite enables companies to improve efficiency and reduce costs, increase customer engagement and loyalty, optimize operating performance, and generate new revenue streams. Customized to fit the unique needs of business organizations, the C3 IoT applications employ advanced analytics and machine learning at scale to deliver real-time actionable insights for enterprise business imperatives.

Additionally, C3 IoT has essentially built a distributed data store, C3 Enterprise Data Lake, to unify disparate data from across the extraprise into a scalable, distributed, encrypted, cloud infrastructure. Along with this, the firm developed C3 EX Machina to visually create analytics and machine learning models. Being petabyte simple, it analyzes, explores, and derives business insights quickly without even having to write a single line of code.

“Our technology solutions empower step-function improvements in our customers’ business performance,” says Siebel. In an instance, C3 IoT implemented C3 Energy Management—facilitates data-driven energy management—for Cisco to perform detailed interval analysis of their high energy-usage facilities. They were in need of a software solution that understands their complex global energy consumption and helps them manage disparate energy- and emissions-related data inputs across their enterprise. C3 Energy Management provided Cisco with a single, unified, global energy, and environmental sustainability management and reporting solution.

With regard to the scalability, the company’s platform is extended to support a wide number of centrally managed services. In the near future, C3 IoT aims to be the cynosure of IoT development by introducing innovative software solutions for enterprises.
