Insight’s quarterly magazine also gets back to basics on cybersecurity and shows how tech can flip the deck on the Great Reshuffle and next-gen retail
Discovering how to smartly adopt new technology, keeping company assets secure, and succeeding at winning and retaining top talent aren’t new challenges — but they have significantly evolved. The new horizon is digital and may just start at the edge.
Insight Enterprises (NASDAQ:NSIT), a Fortune 500 solutions integrator helping clients accelerate their digital journey, lays out a new roadmap to successfully scale and operationalize edge computing in the new edition of its quarterly Tech Journal magazine, released this week. The magazine also examines today’s top security, workforce and retail challenges, and how technology is poised to turn existing valleys into catalysts elevating organizations to new peaks.
Amol Ajgaonkar, Distinguished Engineer, Insight, shares in the cover story his advice on best IT strategies to “enjoy the view” that edge computing can provide through real-time insights across an organization. The intelligent edge creates faster decision-making, better visibility and transparency into the health of a business, more efficient workflows through automation, reduced operating costs, enhanced productivity and increased reliability.
“Data is traditionally created, moved to a data center or the cloud, processed, and then accessible. This approach has lag and latency,” said Ajgaonkar. “Intelligent edge moves processing, or at least a portion of it, closer to the point where data is created. As a result, data analysis is faster and business decisions are more deliberate.”
