The Edge Advantage
for High Performance IoT Solutions
Turning real-time performance into business value.
As global IoT and AI deployments scale, the ability to process data at the edge, close to where it’s generated, has become essential for achieving real-time performance, resilience, and compliance.
Yet while 95% of businesses are exploring edge, our latest survey shows that few have reached mature deployment.
The opportunities are clear, and forward-thinking organisations are now turning this potential into measurable value.
The Edge Advantage for High-Performance Solutions explores how companies are overcoming latency, cost, and security challenges to build next-generation, data-driven operations.
The most advanced implementations of edge are:
Drawn from exclusive Beecham Research analysis, new survey data, and expert interviews, this latest report reveals how businesses are harnessing the edge to stay competitive:
Why Edge Matters Now
As connected systems expand and data volumes surge, businesses are finding that traditional cloud models alone can’t deliver the responsiveness or control modern operations demand.
Edge computing changes this dynamic, bringing processing closer to the data source to enable real-time decision-making, resilience, and compliance at scale.
The Edge Advantage for High-Performance Solutions report highlights how adoption is accelerating: global edge spend will reach USD261 billion in 2025, and 93 % of business leaders believe it’s essential for real-time operations. Across sectors, the benefits are tangible – from faster decisions to measurable operational value.
- Manufacturers report an average 184 % ROI from edge deployments within three years (Deloitte Benchmark, cited in The Edge Advantage).
- Healthcare providers are using edge connectivity to deliver secure, compliant, real-time care.
- Energy and utilities are improving uptime through local automation.
- Smart cities and buildings are using AI-driven edge systems to optimise lighting, safety, and maintenance.
