From Experiment to Impact — Realizing AI Value on Internal and External Use Cases

The first AI inflection point was a year ago when early use cases centered on accelerating or revamping internal processes for enhanced productivity and business outcomes. Today we are at a second AI inflection point with the advent of agentic AI and the opportunity to scale external-facing initiatives. In this environment, it is more important than ever that CIOs leverage flexible platforms and develop frameworks to test, iterate, and scale AI use cases with confidence.

Join this Town Hall to explore:

  • Examining early wins in automation and customer-facing use cases
  • Developing modular ecosystem-neutral approaches that enable fast experimentation
  • Shifting from internal AI pilots to scalable external deployments with confidence
