Automated IT Resilience in the Fast Lane: Improving Productivity & ROI from Tool Sprawl
Managing enterprise applications across hybrid cloud environments is increasingly complex and resource intensive.
Organisations are burning time and resources keeping the wheels on, instead of driving real innovation. Despite all the dashboards, alerts and manual checks, outages still happen and delays in remediation can cost you the podium. It's time to shift gears.
This high-octane demo shows how IBM Concert can proactively spot risks, autonomously analyse app-specific data and deliver tailored recommendations to accelerate response time. See how your teams can design no-code workflows and leverage AI agents for continuous resilience and compliance assessment.
Speaker: Kevin Shen, Principal Product Manager, IBM Concert, IBM | Annie Lin, IT Automation Technology Leader, IBM
Agentic AI in the Driver’s Seat: How to Accelerate AI Adoption Without Losing Control
In the race to lead with intelligence, agentic AI acts like a race engineer — driving performance, navigating complexity and making autonomous decisions at speed. Smart automation must operate within strict guardrails to ensure governance and enterprise-readiness. When outcomes, risk and compliance are on the line, you need more than a passenger. But where do you begin? Join IBM and industry peers in an interactive discussion on how businesses are transitioning to agentic AI with built-in governance – delivering autonomy with accountability to drive real business value.
Speakers: Michal Chorev, Trustworthy AI Lead, IBM | Kieran Hagan, Data and AI Segment Leader, IBM
