Over 70% of enterprises cite fragmented data and legacy platforms as the biggest blocker to scaling AI. But market leaders are leaping ahead of the pack by laying foundations with modern data platforms—which reduce time-to-insight by up to 80%. This allows enterprises such Volvo to maximise cloud utility and power AI capability, helping them scale cost efficiency and procurement optimisation across the digital supply chain. This approach helped a leading healthcare think tank improve data accuracy by 30%, while others report cost savings of between 20-40% through cloud and software optimisation. At this event, we’ll share exclusive methods to help you modernise your own organisation and step into the AI-ready future.
Key discussion points
- Where AI programmes fail inside large enterprises and how to unblock them
- Why governance, architecture, and cost visibility are the starting point of AI success
- How to skyrocket time-to-insight and cost savings through cloud optimisation
This exclusive networking experience is open to just 12 IT, data, engineering, and architecture leaders leaders in Amsterdam. Invite a relevant senior colleague by contacting the Event Director—but seats are filling fast, so book yours first.
