IDC FutureTech Summit – Germany
Mastering the AI economy with innovative platforms
In an increasingly connected and digital world, companies are faced with the challenge of making their business processes efficient and flexible. Integrated platforms form the technical backbone of almost all digitalization projects. Ideally, they enable the seamless integration of data, applications, and processes, thereby increasing the innovation and agility of IT organizations and your companies.
The range of application scenarios is vast, extending from improving user experience (UX) and client experience (CX) to data and IT service management, human capital management (HCM), and process automation.
In addition, there are platforms for machine learning, (financial) analytics, and artificial intelligence. The latter is increasingly becoming an integral part of platform solutions and is boosting their innovation potential.
Overview
Renowned IDC analysts provide a comprehensive overview of solutions, providers, and the maturity of platforms. We also highlight the practical suitability of these approaches using numerous case studies and interactive discussion forums.
We will explore the following topics in depth:
- Flexibility and scalability: How can integrated platforms make companies more agile?
- Data integration and interoperability: How can data and applications be intelligently linked?
- Cloud technologies and microservices: Which architectures are suitable for future-proof IT landscapes?
- Innovation and competitive advantage: How can platforms be used to establish new business models?
