Agility is no longer simply a desirable business characteristic. Because of the unprecedented levels of agility that have been enabled by IT, it is now a critical business quality. To maintain competitive levels of agility and keep pace with a quickly evolving macro-IT environment, organizations are currently facing a pressing need to modernize both their applications and their methods for developing and deploying those applications. Organizations that have already done so are reaping the benefits of faster application development and deployment, as well as greater portability across their expanding environments, which can include multiple public clouds, on-premises data centers, and edge locations. IT organizations that don’t modernize their applications will not only fail to enjoy these benefits, but will also be unable to sustain competitive levels of agility.

Similar to IT technology, the development of the cloud is accompanied by digital transformation, and has experienced trials and explorations entering the era of comprehensive practices at the current stage. While enterprises are enjoying the agility and innovation provided by cloud services, there are a series of challenges and pain points that come with it. Most enterprises cannot simply abandon existing systems and build entirely new platforms on the cloud. They must consider the requirements and limitations of talent, technology, cost, compliance, security, environment, etc., before transforming and building IT systems with multi-cloud visioning to support the sustainable development of businesses.

Cloud is now the default choice for organizations delivering new value to their customers. Successful companies use a cloud operating model — a framework for adopting cloud services — to maximize agility, reliability, and security and deliver superior business outcomes. But that’s only the first step. The most mature organizations are further tuning their people, processes, and tools to create centralized platform teams that help scale their cloud adoption enterprise-wide.

Communication Service Providers (CSP) are looking for new revenue sources to grow their businesses, especially in the enterprise area which will be increasingly important in the future. According to the Ericsson report “5G for business: a 2030 market compass”, by 2030 up to USD 700 billion of the 5G-enabled, business-to-business value could be addressed by CSPs. With the introduction of 5G and edge computing, they are now in a better position to provide new offerings both to enterprises that need to automate industrial processes and to consumers who require improved user experiences for on-line gaming. Edge computing provides distributed computing and storage resources closer to the location where it is needed and targets new business opportunities that provide support for specific application use cases. Some examples of use case areas are augmented and virtual reality, manufacturing and automotive. The innovation rate in this part of the application ecosystem will be significant going forward. The edge opportunity should be seen in a larger context of the enterprise opportunity, where edge computing will be an enabler for many broader use cases, for example within the Internet of Things (IoT) and potentially bundled with other enterprise offerings such as 5G private networks.
