Leading “Internet of Things” Analyst to add depth to Constellation’s disruptive technology coverage.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Constellation Research, Inc., the award-winning research and advisory firm focused on helping clients navigate emerging and disruptive technologies today announced the addition of Joseph A. di Paolantonio to the research team as VP and Principal analyst. The addition of di Paolantonio, a leading analyst in the Internet of Things, Big Data, and sustainable enterprise, signals Constellation’s commitment to providing its clients with the most comprehensive analysis of disruptive technologies.
di Paolantonio brings a focus on the Internet of Things, applying Data Management & Analytics to Energy Management, Sustainability, Smart Planet, Smart Cities, Smart Buildings, Sensors, M2M, CleanTech and Green Business Practices. Since 1978, Joseph has been involved with renewable energy research, developing advanced statistical methods for complex system analysis, and creating analytical techniques and management methodologies for solving business, engineering and scientific problems.
di Paolantonio commented: "A well cited white paper by Cisco claims that the Internet of Things was "born" sometime around 2008, and estimates that there will be 50 billion devices on the Internet by 2020, just counting cell phones, smartphones and tablets. Sensors, Robots, Healthcare monitors, smart meters and other connected objects, will number in the trillions by 2020. Data generated by less than one million humans using the Internet a few times a day swamped traditional systems, spawning "Big Data". Trillions of devices updating data every few nanoseconds will change everything. At Constellation Research, I plan to help our customers prepare for and implement these disruptive technologies."
Prior to joining Constellation Research, di Paolantonio served as President & CEO of InterActive Systems & Consulting, Inc., a consulting and research firm focused on system integration for data management and analysis. Prior to InterActive Systems & Consulting, Inc., di Paolantonio was General Manager of IT services at Capital Technologies Integration, Inc.

His statistical background, deep understanding of analytics, and business acumen brings a fresh perspective to the Internet of Things, Big Data, Smarter Planet, and Energy and Carbon management. As we grow out each of our business themes, we're looking for analysts who can make the tough calls, bring clarity to new markets, and strive to represent a voice for the buyer. Joseph brings these qualities and a strong sense of work ethic and customer centricity.”
