Tech Monitor’s Roundtable: Staying Ahead in the Age of AI in partnership with AMD, taking place in Stockholm in September.

This invite-only Tech Monitor roundtable, in partnership with AMD, will convene senior leaders from a cross-section of industries to discuss how businesses are adopting AI technologies across the enterprise. What success stories can be shared? What challenges have they encountered? What AI technologies are having the most impact?

This private event is part of a series of invite-only roundtable dinners being hosted across two key European cities in September – London and Stockholm.

Businesses are deploying artificial intelligence (AI) in a variety of different ways to enhance operational efficiency, supercharge productivity, sharpen customer service, augment the sales process, and open the door to entirely new products, services and business models.

Scalable, Modernised and Flexible: Helping UK Insurers unlock additional benefit from their cloud platforms

The benefits of migrating legacy workloads to the cloud are well known, but only an estimated 15% of all workloads have currently been moved, so there is still a long way to go.  Furthermore, existing migrations have frequently led to dissatisfaction as the true value of the Cloud has not been achieved.

For UK Insurance companies currently undergoing their cloud journey, there is a great opportunity to achieve benefits beyond the widely stated operational efficiencies.  At this specially convened Tech Monitor roundtable dinner, sponsored by Sourced Group we will discuss key best practices relating to cloud adoption.

 

 

Resilience and Growth: How to Stay Ahead with AI

In today’s fast evolving digital landscape, businesses of all sizes – from SMEs to PLCs – must navigate the complexities of sustained hybrid working and quickly identify how to harness the benefits of new technologies such as AI, all while striving to maintain competitiveness, achieve sustainable growth, and uphold security.

It is why more and more enterprises are embracing the transformative power of hybrid cloud. The attraction is clear: it combines the scalability and cost-effectiveness of the public cloud with the security and control of on-premise infrastructure, enabling businesses to seamlessly integrate legacy systems, optimise workloads, and improve operational efficiency.

It is, however, not a one-size fits all solution and many organisations have yet to enjoy a significant return on their investment. Challenges such as interoperability, data residency and regulatory compliance underscore the critical importance of strategic planning and the need for effective collaboration.

Tech Monitor is therefore delighted to partner with Lenovo and Intel for an exclusive roundtable to discuss where opportunities and challenges exist with the hybrid cloud. Against a backdrop of global economic uncertainty and rising geopolitical tensions, this invite-only event will convene senior tech leaders from a cross-section of industries to assess how hybrid cloud can help unlock growth and improve business resilience. The event will also consider what the rapid adoption of AI means from a platform and infrastructure perspective as enterprise-wide applications continue to be explored.

 

 

This invite-only Tech Monitor roundtable dinner, in partnership with Lenovo and VMWare is designed for senior IT leaders in large organisations. We welcome registrations from anyone meeting that criteria and will review and respond as soon as possible.

There are several challenges that Enterprise IT leaders of today are faced with daily. Among those most frequently cited by readers of Tech Monitor are: the hybrid work landscape post-Covid, environmental sustainability, artificial intelligence (AI), cyber security, and edge computing.

All of these, combined with an ever-rising volume of data, means that finding the right platforms to store and manage workloads is crucial to the efficiency and ultimately the success of your organisation.  The hybrid cloud model offers the flexibility of storing data on a public cloud, on-premise or on the edge.

At this specially convened Tech Monitor roundtable dinner, in partnership with Lenovo and VMware, we will look at the benefits of hybrid cloud, from operational efficiency to cost manageability. We’ll also look at the factors that determine which data should be stored in the cloud and which is better kept on-premise, with due consideration of the shift towards AI.

The evening will aim to prove how the use of a hybrid cloud can help organisations gain a competitive edge and find success in the current economic climate.

This invite-only Tech Monitor roundtable dinner, in partnership with Lenovo, will convene senior tech leaders from a cross-section of industries to discuss where opportunities and challenges exist with the hybrid cloud, and discuss how it can be used to unlock growth at a time when businesses are under considerable pressure to deliver consistent returns.

 

New hybrid working patterns, sustainability, AI, cyber security and edge computing are often cited as the main reasons why more and more tech leaders are turning to hybrid cloud solutions. It is consistently proving to help organisations become more agile, manage costs and remain competitive in a rapidly changing digital landscape.

 

Cloud on its own, however, is by no means a silver bullet and many businesses across a variety of industries have yet to see a significant return on their investment. Spiralling costs, regulatory demands, interoperability in and between cloud providers, data residency and synthesising legacy systems are just some of the frustrations. For these and other reasons, hybrid cloud’s ability to combine the elasticity, scale and convenience of the public cloud, with the assurance, security, and guaranteed performance of on-premise infrastructure, is proving appealing.

This event provides an opportunity for senior IT leaders to meet in the relaxed surroundings of the Ivy City Garden (close to Liverpool Street Station), to network with peers and exchange their thoughts on the subject matter.

The evening will aim to prove how the use of hybrid cloud can help organisations gain competitive edge and find success in the current economic climate.

Topics for discussion will include:

1. Workload optimisation: public vs. private cloud
2. Combatting the escalating cost of the public cloud
3. Harnessing hybrid cloud to meet sustainability goals and boost ESG credentials
4. The important of transparency
5. The future of data residency
6. Striking correct balances in managed services agreements
7. Safeguarding interoperability
