What you can do
Approach edge as a foundational capability, not as a bolt-on. For initial deployments, adopt a strategic approach to edge that identifies the opportunities and provides some guardrails — creating a common base for faster innovation.
Rather than investing in one-off projects that lead to siloed results, take steps to scale edge across businesses. Look for ways to standardize around successful use-cases while leveraging partners for help.
Edge affects the experience of employees across the organization, not just IT. Create centers of excellence to develop the technology and ensure operability. Set up local talent to help guide change management and identify pitfalls.
