ENTERPRISES MUST BEGIN
THEIR JOURNEY TO THE EDGE
Edge Computing technologies allow for enterprises to
provide a radically improved level of service and those
that make the necessary changes now will be in the
best position to achieve market leadership. Morten
Illum, VP of EMEA, Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise
company, stresses the importance of the Edge which is
set to transform existing business models.
I
n the search for competitive advantage,
it is increasingly clear every business
should be looking in one place: at the
edge of their network where technology and
people meet. Where data and processing
power were once concentrated in the back-
office, now they live at the edge, near the
people who are using it – as both employees
and customers.
This shift has radical consequences for
companies in every industry. As a new
book, Opportunity at the Edge from Fast
Future – and in collaboration with Aruba
– demonstrates, it has the potential to

overhaul business models, transform user
experiences and even create entirely new
industries that could be worth trillions.
At the Edge, enterprises can deploy
technology to create user experiences that
are faster, more dynamic and personalised
to individual needs. Edge Computing
technologies – from the mobiles that
customers use to connect to service, to
the sensors that can track activity, and the
Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can analyse
the data collected in real time – make it
possible for every organisation to provide a
radically improved level of service.
