Data Sheet
What is Foundry?
Foundry is a cloud-based solution development and
management platform (PaaS) that offers critical core
functionality for managing the entire lifecycle of IoT solutions.

also make the solution technically reliable and market-viable. Additionally, they must
ensure that they have the capabilities and resources to support the solution.
Bringing an IoT solution to market implies a full-lifecycle approach, from concept to
launch, to evolution, and onward to the next generation that replaces it. To be
attractive to end-customers and sustainable in the market, the solution must be
enterprise-grade: high-performance, reliable, scalable, extensible, and secure.
Market-facing features and functionality must drive real value and create meaningful
differentiation. Back-end technology enablers must be con?gured and continuously managed to ensure that the solution meets or exceeds end-customer expectations, as
well as the expectations of the business owners.
Forward-thinking organizations have already embraced the cloud to enable critical
business capabilities and thrive in the digital economy. Many of these organizations
have adopted Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provide core cloud infrastructure and
services. AWS has earned its reputation as the world’s leading cloud infrastructure
and services provider because it delivers a wide range of powerful, enterprise-grade
capabilities that help organizations succeed in a world increasingly governed by
digital technologies.
However, many organizations neglect to consider the complexity of weaving together
various AWS products and orchestrating functionality across them to deliver the
desired functionality in market-facing IoT solutions. Even in large organizations that
have ample IT budgets and highly experienced engineering staff, devoting time and
resources to navigating the intricacies of AWS may not be practical. Extrapolating
this time and resource commitment over the full life cycle of an IoT solution, IT
organizations must face the question of which activities generate the most value.
What if there was a way for every organization to focus on what it does best, while
enabling compelling IoT solutions in a simple, painless, and sustainable way?
The Internet of Things (IoT) – a network of devices and systems operating in synchronicity to achieve purposeful, coordinated
outcomes – is not a new concept, but only recently has the enabling technology advanced to the point at which IoT solutions have
become feasible at suf?cient scale and with suf?cient reliability to drive meaningful business results.Yet signi?cant challenges remain. Organizations must bridge the gap between IoT vision and functional IoT solution. They must

THE SOLUTION: An IoT PaaS, Optimized for the Serverless IT Environment
ThingLogix has developed a way to quickly and reliably bringenterprise-grade IoT solutions to market, not just once, but on a sustainable basis, with full-lifecycle management as a standard feature. We call it Foundry.
Foundry is an IoT solution development and management platform optimized for rapid time-to-market, ease-of-use, limitless scalability and extensibility, and reliable, secure, sustainable operations over time. With its platform-as-a-service (PaaS) architecture and its tight integration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure and services, it is a 100% serverless, cloud-based solution. Organizations using Foundry experience the full bene?ts of the AWS cloud – in?nite scalability, simple and modular extensibility, high availability, high performance, security, and cost ef?ciency – while also accessing a dynamic platform purpose-built for the unique requirements of creating and managing IoT solutions.
ThingLogix was originally part of the company that became AWS IoT, so we are intimately familiar with AWS functionality as it applies to IoT – both at the individual service level and across services that function in tandem with each other. This knowledge is critical for understanding how to optimize AWS resources for the unique requirements of IoT solutions. We know that developing and ?elding a viable IoT solution based on underlying AWS technology is about much more than stitching together the various discrete AWS products. It is also about creating a sustainable, trulyenterprise-grade solution rather than just an ad hoc development project, simplifying the developer experience, maximizing thedeveloper’s creative capabilities, and enabling operating capabilities to support the solution.
By simplifying the way that development teams work with AWS and providing the basis for holistic IoT solutions, Foundry extracts the developer from the tedium of writing custom code to make AWS work, and transforms the developer role into something more akin to a creative artist blended with a system administrator. Foundry allows developers and product teams to focus on making their IoT solutions better.
With Foundry, engineering and product management teams can collaborate more effectively, specialize in innovation activities that drive real value, and increase the pace and volume of IoT innovation. More time spent on IoT innovation = more solutions, better solutions, and better business results.
ThingLogix is a provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, solution components, and advisory services. We offer Foundry, a proprietary cloud platform architected on Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Foundry Packages, a series of related component applications, to enable IoT solutions for multiple industries and use cases. Our technology enables sophisticated functionality, rapid time-to-market, simpli?ed solutionevolution over time, and extreme cost ef?ciency. ThingLogix is a certi?ed AWS Advanced Technology Partner. We operate globally from our of?ces inSan Francisco, The Hague, and Dubai. For more information, visit us at: www.thinglogix.com
