Tech Monitor’s Roundtable: Preparing for digital transformation in the age of AI

This event provides an opportunity for senior IT leaders to meet in the relaxed surroundings at Scotts of Mayfair, London to network with peers and exchange their thoughts on the subject matter

While the aims of digital transformation remain unchanged – to drive productivity, foster innovation, and offer a competitive edge – the means are changing. Artificial intelligence, and generative AI in particular, is opening up a world of opportunities.

To underscore the power and potential of GenAI, organisations need to review their infrastructure to ensure that it is fit for purpose. Can it handle AI workloads? Does it have the scale and elasticity to manage a step change in data processing? Will it protect the integrity of your intellectual property? Will it keep your network and applications safe? And your customer and employee data secure? Most firms have a pressing need to get their data in shape. Here data visibility and data resiliency will be the watchwords.

At this forthcoming Tech Monitor roundtable event – in association with Cisco – we will explore what your organisation requires to get ready for the next wave of digital transformation.

Among the topics we’ll explore:

– The increasing demands of AI workloads

– Securing AI use across the stack

– Data visibility and resiliency across network, applications, and security

– Differentiated insights to inform decision making

– On premise, cloud, and hybrid approaches to infrastructure
