Overview

By 2027, IDC predicts that the massive computational and data demands of AI will compel 80% of organizations to modernize their legacy cloud environments, shifting to platforms specifically designed for AI-driven workloads. Modernization is no longer a choice; it has become a mandate for growth in an economy shaped by AI and digital transformation.

Yet, as enterprises adopt AI workloads and distributed, microservices-based architectures, complexity intensifies, and modernization efforts often fall short. The reasons are familiar: poor planning, skill gaps, fragmented processes, rising costs, and shifting priorities. Together, these challenges derail transformation and ultimately erode customer experience – the very goal modernization aims to achieve.

AI-powered observability is emerging as a strategic differentiator in this context, by helping enterprises manage complexity, accelerate resolution, and ensure modernization success.

This exclusive roundtable brings together senior IT executives and technology strategists for a candid exchange on how modernization and observability are shaping the next chapter of enterprise transformation.

Why Attend

This IDC Executive Roundtable brings together a select group of senior technology, business leaders and IDC Analysts for an in-depth discussion on how organizations are approaching modernization with intelligence and confidence.

In a collaborative, off-the-record environment, participants will exchange perspectives and experiences on:

Lessons learned from real-world modernization journeys

Integrating observability as a core enabler in transformation strategies

Leveraging AI and automation to enhance visibility, reliability, and agility in cloud-native environments

Seize your unique opportunity to engage directly with IDC analysts and industry peers, share challenges and best practices, and gain strategic insights to guide modernization initiatives in the AI era.
