Trusource Labs Blog Alton Martin to Discuss IoT Support Best Practices at Parks Associates' 21st-annual CONNECTIONS

Austin, Texas - Trusource Labs, the premiere provider for end-to-end complex technical support services, announced today that Chief Evangelist Alton Martin will participate as a speaker at Parks Associates' 21st-annual CONNECTIONS : The Premier Connected Home Conference, held May 23-25 in San Francisco. Martin, Chief Evangelist of Trusource Labs, will participate in the "Winning Support Strategies for IoT" panel session on Tuesday, May 23 alongside other industry experts. The interactive panel session, moderated by Patrice Samuels, research analyst at Parks Associates, will examine the importance of support in the smart home and the new business opportunities emerging to protect a brand against technological pitfalls. Parks Associates research has found that 26% of U.S. broadband households own a smart home device, and 19% state that they plan to buy a smart major appliance in the next 12 months. "As IoT adoption continues to grow, the demand for good support will grow with it," said Martin. "What was considered 'above and beyond' before is becoming common practice, and smart brands need to realize that the service is what's going to set them apart." The conference also features keynotes by executives from Comcast, Cox Communications, Intel, and Vivint Smart Home, as well as new research from Parks Associates. Sessions will provide insight into critical issues including consumer privacy, interoperability, partnerships, platform integration, big data, personalization, and new distribution models.
