By 2025 roughly a quarter of all data generated globally will be created in real time, according to IDC. IoT and edge computing play an essential role in making sense of that data right at the source. As government agencies work to expand and become more responsive to real-time insights gathered through sensors and devices, this can enable better decision making to help meet their mission demands.To gain insights on the latest IoT and edge com...

The next evolution in cloud computing are users without technical experience but can create programs and applications on their own. These end users would have the ability to employ a drag-and-drop interface that is accessible to more than just those on an IT team. Business and program users will no longer have to rely on IT to maintain system operations. IT will spend more time delivering advanced technologies. For the foreseeable future, the...
