Accelerating Enterprise IoT at the Edge - Barton George, Dell Technologies

IoT is delivering significant business value by improving efficiencies and increasing revenue through automation and analytics, but widespread fragmentation and the lack of a common IoT solution framework are hindering broad adoption and stalling market growth. 

Hosted by The Linux Foundation, EdgeX Foundry is a new open source project that is accelerating enterprise IoT deployments by unifying the marketplace around a common IoT edge framework and an ecosystem of interoperable components. 

Barton George, Senior Architect in the office of CTO, will provide an overview of EdgeX Foundry and discuss how the EdgeX framework makes it easy for enterprises to quickly create IoT edge solutions that have the flexibility to adapt to changing business needs.
