IIoT Translation 

We have been helping our clients simplify and organize their industrial data by bridging the gap
between Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) to accelerate IIoT digital transformation for over 20 years.

We were providing “IIoT” before it was called “IIoT”.

 We collaborate and proactively work with our clients to reduce costs and downtime, and ultimately improve their performance.

Leanna Chan, B.Comm | Co-Founder & Chief Revenue Officer

She specializes in helping industrial companies solve their operational information management problems with proven results. She spent over 15 years at Matrikon (and then Honeywell Advanced Solutions), working with clients from “Shop Floor to Top Floor” in designing, developing, and implementing global enterprise solutions and programs to solve their business problems.

More than ever, Leanna sees that companies are spending too much money on their data and are getting too little value out of it. She feels that data should be useful and that IIoT should be simple. Leanna and Dave created ShookIOT to drive innovation, intelligence and insight, and to accelerate ROI.
