Today’s enterprise infrastructure is under pressure. Fragmented across edge, branch and data-centre sites, it increases operational complexity and cost. Many organisations face significant vendor lock-in, slow deployment cycles and difficulty in bridging the IT and OT divide.

As we move into an era defined by distributed intelligence and real-time decisioning, enterprise IT will increasingly serve as the backbone of business resilience and innovation. The shift toward open, automated, and cloud-native infrastructures will become essential—not optional—as organizations seek to support AI-driven workloads, unified IT/OT operations, and large-scale edge deployments.

The enterprises that embrace this modernization curve now will be the ones that create flexible operating models, ensure long-term cost efficiency, and capture competitive advantage in an unpredictable, hyper-connected future.

In collaboration with Wind River, StrategINK brings together a curated group of technology leaders for a closed-door roundtable to explore how unified platforms and modern architectures can reduce overhead, accelerate innovation and improve security across distributed sites.

Key Discussion Areas

»	Simplified Edge Management — Automate deployment of edge sites in hours, not days; reduce operational burden across distributed environments.
»	Safe Migration from Legacy Platforms — Navigate exit strategies from legacy VMware environments to open, containerised and cloud-native architectures.
»	Unified IT/OT Operations — Break down silos, strengthen compliance and security, and manage operational technology alongside IT in a single, cohesive platform.
»	Infrastructure Cost Optimisation & Vendor Lock-in Avoidance — Leverage open-source based enterprise stacks to reduce footprint and maintain flexibility.
