As a result, today’s IT leaders increasingly find themselves fulfilling multidimensional, strategic, and collaborative roles with evolved and prominent reporting structures and mandates. These new roles carry greater responsibilities as AI becomes increasingly embedded in services, products, and experiences, intertwining with the lives of employees, customers, partners, and society at large.
The IDC Saudi Arabia CIO Summit 2024, which takes place at the Fairmont Riyadh on September 18–19 under the theme The Future of IT: Rethinking Digitalization for an AI Everywhere World, will provide an essential platform for empowering the Kingdom’s IT leaders to succeed in this new era. It will help them to better understand their roles in an increasingly AI-infused business landscape, with renowned industry experts serving up essential guidance on deploying innovative solutions, forging new business models, and scaling massively in today’s dynamic digital economy.
“As AI continues to evolve and integrate into multiple facets of our lives, organizations must be prepared to embrace data-centric platforms, migrate workloads to cloud infrastructure, optimize security and digital trust, and invest in skills,” says Hamza Naqshbandi IDC’s country lead for Saudi Arabia and Bahrain and Vice President of Custom Solutions for the META region.
