Palo Alto, Calif.

Top Executive: Enrique Lores, President, CEO

While mostly known as a leading maker of PCs and printers, HP Inc. branched out into the edge market in 2020 with the debut of software that makes the ingestion of data for on-site processing into an easier undertaking. The product, HP Engage Edge, is powered by the open-source EdgeX Foundry platform and targeted for use on HP point-of-sale hardware in retail and hospitality environments. Key to the offering is its open framework—which is both sensor-agnostic and cloud-agnostic—eliminating the need for ISVs to perform tedious hardware-software integrations.
