2018. Two thousand eighteen! I can't believe it's almost over. As the saying goes, time flies when you're having fun, and let me tell you, it has been quite a year for us at RTI. As curators of content, we put much thought into helping our customers, advocates and partners – essentially, our audience – navigate through the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). When we plan our marketing initiatives for the year, one goal always remains the same: deliver value to YOU. With that in mind, in 2018, we focused on RTI's purpose: empowering our customers to solve their real-time connectivity challenges.
To wrap up the year, we want to gift you with podcasts, webinars, blogs and more full of insight, actionable advice and practical tips from technical and industry experts – all designed to help you drive value across your efforts for 2019 and beyond.
