OVERVIEW
Modelling a business fit for the future requires serious focus and investment to integrate, scale and innovate. Just as AI-driven experiences are revolutionising customer engagement, AI-driven cloud transformation is reshaping IT landscapes. Companies using GenAI are seeing up to 50% reductions in migration time, improved code quality, and lower costs - while freeing up engineers to focus on innovation, not just maintenance.
The sheer volume of development, implementation and migration time and resource required used to be a big obstacle to overcome. GenAI can change the game by delivering results faster than ever before. How is it done and where do you start?
