Imagine making a decision with only 20% information? For example... - Would you eat at a restaurant if you only knew the first few appetizers but not the main courses or desserts? - Would you purchase a house if you only saw the living room (but not the dining room, bedrooms, kitchen, etc.)? - Would you buy a car if you only knew what kind of tires it had (but not the make, model, color, safety features, etc.)? Check out below to learn how to drive digital transformation success by obtaining more than 20% data on your operations with an easy-to-deploy yet robust IoT platform such as Thinaer.

I was proud to stand alongside Sec. of Energy Jennifer Granholm, Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, Dominion Energy, Energy Northwest and X-energy today at Amazon HQ2 as Matt Garman announced innovative agreements to pioneer the development of a new nuclear energy project in Washington State and explore another in Virginia. These agreements will support the construction and exploration of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), an exciting moment of progress for the carbon-free energy transition. And our Climate Pledge Fund investment in X-energy will help develop the fuel and technology to advance more than five gigawatts of new nuclear over the next 15 years. As Amazon Web Services (AWS) continues to expand our infrastructure to meet customer demand, we’ll continue finding new ways to bring carbon-free energy to the grid to help power our operations and advance our Climate Pledge commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
