To maximize the benefits of digital initiatives across all operational areas, organizations must go beyond modernizing their core to include the edge environment. For manufacturing companies looking to migrate their ERP to cloud platforms such as Azure, the transition demands robust integration between cloud and edge operations for real-time data processing and collection.  

Service providers play a crucial role in assessing the current IT landscape to proposing the best suited hybrid/multi-cloud strategy to drive innovation into key operational areas like warehousing and logistics at the edge.

Organizations require integrated solutions encompassing connectivity, security, and managed services to ensure low latency, compliance, efficient data analytics, and to harness AI’s potential. This dual focus on cloud and edge modernization translates technological investments into tangible business outcomes and operational efficiencies, setting the stage for future innovations.
