2025 is emerging as a year where enterprises begin to move from AI experimentation to AI pivot with a laser focus on outcomes, return on investment and governance.
A successful AI pivot requires a resilient, high quality data, scalable technology platforms and AI-ready workforce.
It is no surprise then that the key themes for C-suites are: re-invention of business through AI; transformation of data and cloud infrastructure for AI-readiness; upskilling; and a greater focus on optimization, control and proactive governance.
C-suites are expected to deliver on these key themes in the context of high IT complexity, rising risks, limited resources, and ever-toughening regulatory landscape. Their businesses are characterized by data growth; high interconnectedness of devices, people, applications, data, and networks; and increasing vulnerability. Combining this with innovation pressures, rising technical debt, and regulatory needs means the areas that will see significant budget increases are: modernization of digital infrastructure as well as enhancing digital resilience.
The question is how to make these investments count and develop a continuous digital resilience strategy that is fit to address the modern complexity whilst empowering the business to realize its AI-focused innovation? What are the best approaches for enabling continuous digital resilience?
Join this webinar featuring IDC analyst and intelligent data technology provider, NetApp to understand the industry trends around AI strategies, regulations, security and infrastructure. The webinar will shine a spotlight on the challenges organizations face and c-suites’ investment priorities and plans. It will also explore how digitally-savvy organizations are navigating through the complexities, what their strategies are and how they differ from digital-follower organizations. This can help IT and business leaders to assess their strategies against their peers and take some actionable points to overcome some challenges or secure stakeholder support for their initiatives.
Join us on 24th April to navigate through the regulatory and security complexity whilst preparing to maximize the AI potential.
