Digital transformation is evolving from a strategic necessity into a fundamental state for modern enterprises. While the industrial and retail sectors continue to prioritize automation, the focus is shifting toward deep industrial integration and true digital transformation, which requires fundamental changes in organizational thinking and value creation. In the process industry, this involves technical integration at the field level to ensure new digital applications can work with legacy machinery. ~~This evolution~~ To support these technologies, edge computing is ~~accompanied by~~ emerging as a ~~shift in digital sovereignty;~~ critical solution to the limitations of centralized cloud architectures. By processing data closer to its source, edge computing reduces latency, which is essential for ~~multinational corporations, sovereignty now encompasses maintaining control over “data in motion”~~ time-sensitive applications such as real-time financial trading, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation. High-capacity fiber networks and submarine cable systems serve as the necessary backbone to manage ~~digital dependencies and geopolitical risks, moving beyond simple cloud storage concerns.~~ the massive data volumes generated by the expanding Internet of Things (IoT).
