From Start to Scale — Transformation & Acceleration with Agentic AI
Hosted by NTT DATA
In a market defined by fierce competition and fast-moving AI innovation, CIOs are under pressure to deliver measurable business impact. Agentic AI is shifting the conversation from adoption to responsible, effective scaling. At the same time, cloud modernization is entering a new phase — one where AI agents are fundamentally changing how enterprises approach business processes and service delivery for greater agility and cost savings.
CIOs are uniquely positioned to lead this transformation but must overcome key barriers: technical debt, skills shortages and heightened security and compliance risks. So how can IT leaders move beyond pilots and drive measurable ROI with agentic AI?
Join this town hall to learn how CIOs are:
- Tackling tech debt, skills gaps, and cost pressures to manage the risks and benefits of scaling AI agents
- Building AI-driven ecosystems focused on high-impact use cases and continuous improvement
- Collaborating enterprise-wide to leverage agentic AI for cloud modernization, innovation, speed and measurable outcomes
