This research supports edge monetisation in three key ways:

  1. Accelerate your edge computing strategy through education of the key use cases that are driving adoption in different industries.
  2. Drive alignment within your organisation on the proposition and requirements of use cases.
  3. Highlight the monetisation opportunities and roles that need to be filled in order to deliver an end-to-end edge computing solution.
