Nearly everywhere you look in the enterprise, IT architectures are shifting. From the data center to the cloud to the edge to the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors coming online, compute is moving closer to end-users. But these accelerated changes are more than just shifts in architectures, tools and technology. They are changes in the ways business gets done.
A host of statistics reinforce the enormous change that is coming to the IT industry. According to Ziff Davis’ 2021 State of IT report, 76% of businesses plan long-term IT changes. IDC estimates that investment in edge computing power will grow much faster than core computing power over the next five years, and worldwide spending on edge computing servers will account for 24.9% of total servers by 2025. GSMA estimates that the global IoT market will be worth more than $1.1 trillion in revenue by 2025.
These changes will disrupt business models in nearly every sector. Organizations that embrace change with an innovation mindset will be uniquely positioned to leverage actionable insights from their networks and tools, becoming more agile and, ultimately, better able to serve their customers.

When data is reported to executives, it is generated according to the specific needs of the business unit leaders and their KPIs.
