AI Ambition Meets Data Reality: APAC Technology Priorities and Challenges

,

74% of APAC organisations have AI initiatives underway, but only 46% have the integration foundation to support them.

Disconnected ecosystems, ungoverned data, and fragmented point solutions are leaving AI investments flying blind, and CFOs are starting to notice. Based on a recent survey of 1,100+ senior decision-makers across APAC, this webinar unpacks where APAC organisations are falling into the complexity trap, why it's putting AI ROI at risk, and what it takes to build the infrastructure that turns AI into measurable business outcomes.

Michael Barnes, Chief Analyst, Enterprise IT Asia at Omdia, and David Irecki, Chief Technology Officer, APJ at Boomi, will discuss what it takes to close the gap between AI ambition and outcomes.

You’ll learn:

  • Where APAC organisations are falling short on data integration, governance, and AI readiness
  • Why shadow integrations and fragmented point solutions are putting AI initiatives at risk
  • How a unified, AI-ready platform like Boomi helps organisations activate their data and scale AI with confidence
Join us to find out where your organisation stands and what it takes to lead.
