GE Digital,a much-touted software unit headquartered in San Ramon,Calif.,was key to the strategy of Mr.Immelt,who left last summer.As part of an effort to reorient itself away from financial and media assets and bolster a sluggish stock price,the company built a software platform called Predix that aimed to help industrial customers like utilities and airlines gather and analyze data to better manage their equipment and wring out greater efficiencies.

作为备受瞩目的软件部门，GE Digital总部位于加州圣拉蒙，是于去年夏天离职的伊梅尔特的战略关键。作为将自身从金融和媒体资产上重新定位并支撑低迷股价努力的一部分，该公司开发了Predix软件平台，旨在帮助公用事业和航空公司等工业客户收集和分析数据，以更好地管理其设备，并提高效率。
