The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many enterprises to redraw their digital transformation maps as lockdowns and outbreaks force them to maintain hybrid work environments and provide flexible technology services to staff across international networks.

Enterprises now need more agile networks driven by network and security solutions that support applications and devices from the core to the edge. For many organisations, traditional MPLS connectivity is no longer sufficient.

This is your invitation to join CIO Australia's editor-in-chief, Byron Connolly, and executives from Lumen for an exclusive roundtable luncheon, 'Why your tech transformation needs to work at the edge.'

During this peer-to-peer discussion, you will get the opportunity to talk about the challenges you face in placing workloads across multiple locations, specifically how you are managing data processing, devices and security to support your digital business.

The discussion will include but not be limited to:

• The changes you are making to your wide area network infrastructure in Australia and overseas to put applications and services in the right place to ensure the smooth running of hybrid work environments that support your digitisation activities.
• How SD-WAN connections, overlayed with edge infrastructure, can improve application performance from your core head office networks and right across branch locations whether they be in Australia or around the world.
• How edge computing technologies, which ensure data is processed and analysed closer to the point where it is created, is particularly useful if information is being created for real time analysis across a growing internet-of-things (IoT) network.
