1:30pm – 2:30pm:  How to Modernize Your Architecture

 

Digital Transformation may be overused as a catchphrase but it is a necessary disruption for most organizations to sustain their operations and continue to be successful let alone think of innovation or adding new revenue streams. There are 3 keys aspects to transformation – culture, business model and technology. While cultural and business process transformations are daunting and could be more challenging to execute, organizations need a strong technology foundation with modern capabilities that deliver better outcomes, speed to market and quality that is reflected in great customer experiences. How do you get there?

 

A few highlights of the content that will be covered:

  • Business and Technology trends driving the need for modernization

Join us as we navigate through the high waves of AI adoption, seeking to ensure cybersecurity measures are considered, and major risks are managed amidst aggressive AI adoption efforts.
