Hitachi Ltd., which is spending about $2.8 billion over three years on its Internet of Things platform, is merging three units into Hitachi Vantara, seeking to boost its ability to provide technology solutions as a single offering.
The new wholly-owned subsidiary combines Hitachi Data Systems Corp., Hitachi Insight Group and Pentaho, the parent said in a statement Tuesday in Las Vegas. The company will also offer a commercial version of its Lumada Internet of Things platform software, now in version 2.0, it said separately. The statements didn’t include any sales estimates.
