Listen to this articleBelow is our recent interview with Matt Hatton, the founding partner at Transforma Insights:
Q: Matt can you tell us something more about Transforma Insights and your cor competence?
A: Transforma Insights is a leading technology research advisory firm focused on the world of IoT, AI and Digital Transformation (DX). The company was founded by Jim Morrish me, we previously founded Machina Research, which was acquired by Gartner in 2016.
Q: Any highlights on your recent announcement?
A: The recent announcement related to the publication of our Communications Service Provider IoT Peer Benchmarking report, which is available as part of our advisory service. That report analyses the relative strengths of 12 leading providers of global IoT connectivity (Aeris Communications, AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, KORE, KPN, Orange, Tele2, Telefónica, Telenor, Telia, Verizon and Vodafone) in areas such as networks, platforms, vertical solutions and commercial strategy. The key highlight was that Communications Service Providers need to adapt their strategies to reflect the increasing price pressure which is pushing connectivity revenue towards $1 per year. In order to do that they need to become what we term ‘Hyperscale IoT Connectivity Providers’, supporting the necessary suite of scalable technologies and capabilities necessary to profitably address the growing cellular IoT market opportunity. Vodafone is, today, the best positioned company to do that. The other big opportunity for CSPs is in vertical solutions and consulting/systems integration. Deutsche Telekom and Orange Business Services score well on those metrics.

Q: What is the best thing about your company that people might not know about?
A: We were pretty much born during lockdown. Officially we got started in November 2019 and we had a couple of months before the pandemic hit. It meant we had to completely adapt how we expected the business to develop. It’s all gone very well, but we do miss face-to-face interaction. We’re very much looking forward to getting back out on the road, to conferences and to visit clients.
