Michael Colaneri
SDWAN and Edge computing allow upgraded and secure customer experiences/app integration. 5G will redefine the industry once its full capabilities become common expectations. Customers will expect modern experiences in seconds as the convenience 5G allows becomes standard.

- the interesting thing about #retail is that whole industry has already had #edge in play with EFTpos, ATM, smart cash trays / tills, device buying ( i.e. smart phones etc ), tracking, logistics, transport, warehousing etc..
CrossTalk
indeed another great tech to hack -- more in your security course I'll bet

5g is key because with high bandwidth....you can process more inputs and outputs....which means you can make decisions faster, with larger datasets...which if done optimally, results in faster learning....and an edge
Michael Colaneri
Open architecture is foundational to on- and off-boarding capabilities, scale, and transformation. Micro targeting, cashier less POS, loss prevention, automating BOPIS and unassisted returns are just a few examples of capabilities that seamlessly integrate.

Sounds like visual recognition technology will also come into play to make this happen?

So these capabilities all comprise the various value streams....so to build on your point...it's important to understand and prioritise those value streams...to ensure the integration is optimal and efficient....

- and those numbers are sure to rise as well

Why is that...is that because of maturity of the architectures...or is because they have become stale and no-one is investing in sharing and maintaining open architectures?

- Architecture has always been critical, which is why from a systems and platform position we use "Reference Architectures" from vendors and partners where possible

Paul Colmer #DevOps 🎸☁️🛰️🚀🇦🇺
Architectures need to be affordable...built in small increments, ala #Agile, and loosely coupled....which means each component is independent of each other...failure of a single component does not result in catastrophic service failure...focus on the #CX

@dez_blanchfield It does Dez...it comes up all the time...the challenge is balancing openness with security...fortunately the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive...and that's part of the learning for some...
