Bending the Exponential IT Curve: Exciting Advancements in IT Process Improvement

Wednesday, December 4, at 1:00 PM ET | 10:00 AM PT

Webinar Summary

Gen AI is an inflection point that has steepened the curve of Exponential IT – what we call today’s unprecedented revolution in IT capabilities – and accelerated the growth of other technologies. IT leaders know it: 57% say AI is likely to disrupt their business in the next 12 months, and 35% say they expect the same from other emerging technologies, according to Info-Tech’s Future of IT 2025 Survey.  

As exponential technologies have skyrocketed, so has their potential value – and organizations’ expectations for them. CIOs must lead the transformation required to spur innovation and adapt these burgeoning technologies to their organization’s benefit. 

Join this dynamic webinar for insights and guidance on how best to make this world of Exponential IT work for your organization, including: 

  • The inevitability and necessity of exponential transformation, whether it’s to improve customer value, extract better market insights, increase revenue, or keep up with competition.
  • The rise of purpose-built solutions powered by Gen AI across industries and their value for organizations.
