IDC & Google Cloud Roundtable
From Intelligence to Action: Grounding Agentic AI in Enterprise Reality
In Partnership with
Singapore’s enterprises have moved beyond exploring AI to scaling it as a strategic business capability, yet trust and data readiness remain the biggest barriers to turning AI experimentation into measurable business outcomes. According to IDC research, only 23% of AI applications in Asia/Pacific successfully progress from proof of concept to production, underscoring that enterprise AI success depends as much on governance and data quality as it does on model performance.
The operative question for C-level leaders is no longer whether AI can be piloted, but whether it can be trusted to operate at scale. The answer lies in unifying operational and analytical workloads so that AI agents can work with trusted, real-time enterprise data under existing business rules and governance.
Join IDC & Google Cloud for an exclusive executive dinner exploring why the future of enterprise AI depends not simply on building smarter models, but on grounding autonomous intelligence in trusted enterprise data, governed business processes and the systems of record that run the business.
50%
of Asia/Pacific organisations are expected to unify operational and analytical workloads through HTAP by 2029, enabling AI agents to work with trusted, real-time enterprise data
