Reinventing Industry in the AI Era: From Cloud Migration to AI Transformation

As the AI era unfolds, competitive advantage now hinges not on cloud adoption alone, but on how rapidly organizations can realize AI-driven innovation. Yet many enterprises continue to face challenges bridging the gap between cloud migration and AI modernization due to legacy environments, fragmented architectures, and the complexity of data security and governance. At the center of this transformation, this roundtable explores strategic approaches to accelerating innovation by leveraging the cloud as the foundation and AI as the catalyst for change. Executives will engage in a forward-looking conversation as we delve into sharing real-world experiences and insights gained from leading end-to-end transformations spanning cloud migration, modernization, and AI transformation. We will discuss how to drive measurable results through AI automation and cloud optimization, across industries such as gaming, media, retail, and finance– to achieve over 40% cost reduction, re-architecting data pipelines, and enhancing business productivity. Building on real-world outcomes, the discussion will explore the full transformation journey– from infrastructure modernization and data activation to embedding AI into enterprise workflows and preparing for the next wave of innovation with Agentic AI. Executives can expect to leave with practical strategies for accelerating AI-driven modernization, insights on turning cloud and data investments into business value, and peer-driven perspectives to help navigate complex transformation challenges with greater clarity and impact.
