Concirrus connecting the ‘internet of things’

We strayed somewhat from our traditional software and IT services brief to invite the top team at London-headquartered Concirrus to our Little British Battler day (see here) – especially given that the company was only born in June last year. But – and perhaps surprisingly – they were the only company amongst the 100 or so applying to participate that had the ‘internet of things’ as their raison d’etre. And we believe in the internet of things.

Concirrus is best described as a turnkey provider of internet-based machine-to-machine systems. They cover the whole gamut, including solution design, (contract) hardware manufacture, application development, network connectivity, right through to hosting the back-end software (via Amazon Web Services).

The founding co-owners – CEO Andy Yeoman and COO Craig Hollingworth – both have relevant pedigree (Yeoman at Trimble, Hollingworth at O2, Telefonica et al), and self-fund the business. A cash-free ‘reversal’ into electronic component distributor Alpha Micro Systems provided access to the hardware supply chain.

At its ‘base’, Concirrus is all about remote monitoring and measurement. But at its ‘peak’ is the analysis of all the data that streams in from connected devices.  It is exciting to find all of this in a single ‘package’.
