Breaking Data Barriers: Unlocking AI’s Full Potential

Executive Dinner

In Association with
Overview

Today, most organizations are in an experimentation phase with AI use cases, as expectations and investments continue to evolve. However, AI’s value ultimately hinges on its ability to deliver connected predictions, recommendations, optimisations and actions that drive real outcomes – in a world where insight is increasingly the real differentiator within industries. 

A recent IDC study found that 81% of IT leaders cite data silos as a major barrier to digital transformation, and in truth, this is not only a story about “classic” data integration; key AI use cases will rely on foundations leveraging unstructured and structured data, event streaming and APIs. As AI adoption accelerates, organizations must prioritize effective integration to unlock AI’s full potential and drive business innovation. 


Join IBM and IDC to discuss the below over a delicious three course meal at The One Aldwych Hotel: 

  • How can Organizations Break Down Silos Across Multiple Clouds & On-Prem Environments to Ensure Seamless AI Enablement? 
  • What Strategies can Businesses Use to Efficiently Host & Manage AI Services While Maintaining Scalability & Performance? 
  • How can a Platform-Based Approach Reduce Operational Costs & Enhance Competitive Advantage Through Improved Efficiency & Customer Experience?
