Software AG (a top software vendor in Europe that has nearly 5,000 employees and over 10,000 enterprise customers in over 70 countries) will use IOTA.

A nice write up from Software AG's Vice President for Innovation & Architecture, on why "distributed ledger technology (DLT) is about to live up to the hype."http://www.b2b.com/three-reasons-iota-will-elevate-blockchain​We expect to make use of native blockchain and token-related capabilities for device identity, data provenance, integrity and security – and for micro-transactions and micro-payments in the M2M economy.By extending our webMethods integration offerings with suitable IOTA capabilities we intend to bridge the on-Tangle world with the off-Tangle world (e.g., typical applications like ERP or CRM). This allows the seamless execution of end-to-end business processes in a minimum trust environment. (As an aside, this also provides an efficient solution for mediating between different blockchains).With IOTA we can help companies secure device and machine communications, improve process quality and efficiency, enable automation beyond a single workstation eventually extending to the full supply chain - and create entirely new peer-to-peer (including M2M) ecosystems.
