The Future is NOW!
|
|
We believe innovation begins with people. That’s why
we take a human-centric approach to designing intelligent solutions to empower
users and IT to work and innovate everywhere. The future of work has evolved,
and workers have new expectations for technologies that power their workday The
most successful companies will be those who proactively invest in their
organization’s technological agility, to not only be best equipped for the next
major disruption but forge their own strategic path. Modernization is no longer
an option. It is needed for companies not only to survive but to effectively
thrive, grow and innovate. Accelerating transformation for hybrid work and IT
agility helps enable flexibility, build resiliency, and advance performance.

Who Is Responsible For Sustainability?
|
|
More and more IT Leaders are stepping
forward to take the lead in driving positive change in their organisations,
but, as we inch closer to our net-zero deadlines, what progress has been made?
And how can we track it?
IT can help provide the visibility and
insights to reduce energy waste, intelligently repurpose real estate, improve
operational efficiency, and explore new go-to-market models that support a
lower carbon future. But, the responsibility belongs to all of us, working
together.
Join Cisco to discuss the progress we have
made towards our own goals and, more importantly, how we are helping our
customers to do the same.

Developing differentiated services in a Gen AI future
|
|
Generative AI (GenAI) is ushering a new wave of digital transformation. This will transform the way how companies find, sort and analyze information at scale impacting services to customers across all industries. GenAI will impact departments, processes, employees, and customers. As with any transformation wave there is both opportunities and risks at the same time. Organisations are at risk to be disintermediated from their internal processes, employee’s knowledge, clients experience. Conversely, companies can leverage the GenAI transformation to reimagine existing processes, create new operational efficiency, new client solutions, new revenues streams and establish lasting market differentiation. Whilst ensuring companies retain and increase employees, clients, and regulators trust. Therefore, how do you differentiate, what is your USP and how do you shine a world where GenAI will be a new normal?

Optimize to innovate at scale
|
|
Every organization wants to be able to operate at cloud scale—this means meeting growing or shrinking demand at a moment’s notice, adding and expanding new services in days if not hours, and extending to new regions or operating centers with little to no downtime. Not everyone has the resources, headcount, or budget of a hyperscaler. More than likely, there is a mix of traditional IT investments, services across multiple clouds, and a mix of IT skills. This doesn’t mean that scaling can’t be done—it can be, it just has to be done smartly. Optimization and focusing on what has to scale right now is key to transformation, even in leaner times, and open hybrid cloud can help you do it.

WS 1 - The Future of AI is to deliver extraordinary employee experiences
·
How is AI already helping us having a
better user experience?
·
How AI and Generative AI are reshaping the
work environment?
·
What could we expect in the near future?
Cognitive Technologies are the fastest
growing area in modern computing today. Applications that previously required
human intelligence, including data analytics, complex processing, statistical
modelling and visualizations are now augmented by powerful machine learning
algorithms, shortening the time between ideas and results. In this workshop, we
will focus on the need to remove barriers and enabling enterprise-wide AI
strategy adoption through an end-to-end holistic approach from desk to data center.
