Edge computing is now a top IT priority in organizations as they look to gain real-time business insights from data. Ideally, they're able to achieve that while minimizing the IT infrastructure deployed at edge locations. But our research shows that the number of applications run at a location can have a big impact on the required IT resources. The amount of time data is retained there is another key factor to consider in planning edge deployments.

Organizations increasingly are deploying edge applications to gain business insights from data as it’s generated. But our research shows that they face various challenges: security issues, high infrastructure costs, a lack of skills, management complexity, and more. Being aware of the biggest application challenges and ways to address them before starting a deployment is crucial to ensuring that edge initiatives deliver the expected business value.

Strong network connectivity is needed in edge computing environments to extract business value from edge applications. 5G technology could be key to that, and the research shows that most organizations are bullish about using it at the edge. Adoption of both public and private 5G is expected to increase as a result, but organizations should watch deployments closely to make sure the technology is appropriate for their edge use cases.

While organizations can have altruistic reasons for embracing and implementing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, there are also more self-serving drivers. Indeed, not only is improved brand development the most commonly cited ESG objective, nearly half of early adopters identify it as a benefit they have already realized as a result of implementing these initiatives.

The principles of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives increasingly matter as a technology brand attribute and are subsequently new and important evaluation factors for IT buyers. It follows then that the vast majority of organizations will pay a price premium for products and/or services from vendors that demonstrate a firm commitment to ESG, a trend that is even more pronounced among younger organizations.

Based on a survey of 742 senior IT decision makers at midmarket and enterprise organizations, the 2023 Technology Spending Intentions Survey analyzes private and public sector technology spending expectations, the business and technology priorities driving those plans, and year-over-year trends in technology adoption and customer preferences. This year’s study from TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group finds that enterprise technology spending will generally slow due to global macroeconomic conditions and the threat of a worldwide recession, but aggressive investments are expected to continue among more digitally transformed organizations.
