About the webinar

Let’s say one of your business units wants to use AI. How do you support their growth, while also accounting for the ripple effect it could have rest of your IT ecosystem?

Take optimization. It’s an AI capability where models are built to calculate the best outcomes based on the available resources and the constraints defining the range of possibilities.

For example, this could help marketing know which customers are most likely to respond to campaigns. Or enable finance to know the right warranty terms to set based on operations’ production parameters.

With the right insights, IT can plan for and accommodate successful optimization.

Join us as we discuss:

  • Examples of optimization being used today.
  • The typical technical requirements of AI software for optimization.
  • How those requirements affect issues for IT, such as: computing policies, processes, staffing and training, data management, privacy and security, accommodating open source software and cloud-based solutions in your stack.
