Overview: Technology is making the world smaller and more interdependent. There's an explosion of applications and technologies at "The edge": mobile, wireless, always-on devices including cell phones, PDAs, and machine-to-machine communications using RFID and Bluetooth technology. This is transforming how and where work is done. And the explosion at the edge is beginning to tax the capabilities of legacy information systems originally designed to process manual inputs and batch loads. This paper: Addresses the state of edge computing; Defines the value and benefits of a more mobile enterprise; Looks at the challenges associated with supporting an organization focused on edge computing; and Examines existing and emerging solutions that meet the unique challenges of workers on the edge.
