Just as each person has a unique fingerprint, each customer has a unique set of needs that determine how they can and should run their business, specifically at “their” Edge.

Join guest host Kelly Lynch as she chats with Ty Schmitt and Dave Graham, two Edge-focused experts at Dell Technologies, about the evolution of Edge over time and why it’s more important today than it was 10 years ago, even. From conversations around Dave’s “personal health Edge” that helped him lose nearly 50 pounds this year to discussions with Ty “beyond the Edge,” laughs and learning go hand-in-hand this week.
