New Buying Signals Regarding Data Play to EdgeTI Strengths

Within AI, Automation, and Digital Twin solutions, which industry and market analysts anticipate growing at an impressive 40% CAGR through 2030, the Company reports increased demand signals around Data Mesh (coined by Zhamek Dehghani) and Data Fabric (an earlier approach to reach and interact with data at its authoritative source) as more organizations are resonating with the approaches’ more efficient use of data across wider audiences.

“Our edgeCore™ platform and previous versions of our software have always been devoted to reaching source data and expanding use according to security and privacy policies. edgeCore aligns with Data Mesh's additional principles of treating data as a product, enabling self-service, and promoting shared governance,” said Jim Barrett, CEO. “We also see a similar trend with Application Mesh, where different workflows and interactions come together to enhance the user experience, speed-up tasks, and make information more useful. Our approach of integrating data and applications is crucial in today's digital twins and hyperautomation eras. Our discussions with multiple organizations confirm that a combined view of data and applications is what organizations need to simplify the complexities of operations."
