LTIMindtree announced on Thursday that it has partnered with Vodafone to offer connected and smart IoT solutions, powered by its Insight NXT platform (iNXT) and Vodafone’s IoT Managed Connectivity.

LTIMindtree’s iNXT Business Unit, an ecosystem of connected, intelligent, and sustainable solutions, along with Vodafone’s IoT-managed connectivity solutions, will work together to address complex business challenges. By leveraging a best-in-class ecosystem of partners, LTIMindtree aims to empower clients to maximize revenue acceleration, cost efficiency, and sustainability through Smart IoT and Industry X.0 solutions.
