"We aim to differentiate ourselves by taking IoT further and embedding advanced technologies into IoT applications, such as conversational enablement and artificial intelligence. To be recognized as a leader in multiple IoT categories by ISG not only solidifies HARMAN's presence in multiple IoT markets, but it also exemplifies our commitment to creating leading IoT technologies across industries."
