Harbor Research is a growth strategy consulting and venture development firm that partners with leading manufacturers, service providers and technology developers to discover, design and develop smart systems and Internet of Things growth opportunities.
WHAT IS SMART SYSTEM DESIGN?
Multiple parallel technologies are increasingly reinforcing and accelerating one another. Cloud infrastructure, mobile and edge computing, machine learning and IoT technologies are combining to enable previously unimagined capabilities for both the B2C and B2B worlds. “Smart Systems” is Harbor Research’s term to describe this phenomenon—a new generation of computing and digital architecture that is very different from classical information, computing, and telecom systems.
