Edge computing is integral to digital transformation, and projects are emerging in different parts of enterprises. To avoid edge sprawl, accelerate deployments, ensure extensibility, and drive efficiency and effectiveness, I&O leaders must be proactive and create an edge computing strategy. 

Leaders responsible for cloud and edge infrastructure projects should:

• Lead their edge computing strategy by creating and socializing a vision for edge computing, and linking it to integral enterprise and technology initiatives.
• Identify existing and potential use cases for edge computing through proactive collaboration with business units, and develop a process to identify new use cases. 
• Accelerate expanded deployments of edge computing by identifying and mitigating common challenges and risks.
