From insight to impact: How SIs are navigating scale, integration and AI readiness

Sponsored by InterSystems

System integrators are navigating a market where clients demand rapid, measurable results while expecting distinct, differentiated value. Organisations across sectors are pursuing AI, real-time analytics, and large-scale digital transformation, yet fragmented data estates and weak data foundations often limit how effectively these initiatives can scale.

This National Technology roundtable, sponsored by InterSystems, brings together those leading practice, industry and solution areas along with technical and operational execs for a candid discussion on the strategic pressures shaping the sector. Participants will explore how firms are balancing the need for quick wins with longer-term differentiation, how robust data foundations underpin AI and analytics readiness, and how they are integrating across legacy and emerging systems under regulatory and operational constraints.

The session emphasises peer exchange and debate, inviting attendees to share experiences, lessons from both successes and setbacks, and emerging approaches to client delivery. Attendees will gain insight into sector-wide patterns, explore strategies for accelerating time-to-value while maintaining strategic differentiation, and consider how evolving client demands and new technologies like generative AI are reshaping data and delivery strategies.

Topics for discussion:

• What does the current state of data foundations across large organisations reveal about their capacity for delivery speed, meaningful insight and AI readiness?

• What integration and data hurdles most commonly slow the path from concept to measurable outcomes, and what kinds of approaches have proved most effective at removing them at scale?
  

• How can short term, visible wins be designed so that they build towards durable, differentiated value rather than fragmenting effort?

• In what ways are delivery models and operating practices evolving in response to generative AI and related technologies, and how are organisations managing the associated risks and potential disruption?

• Where have changes to delivery models, architecture or operating practices most clearly shifted client outcomes, time to value or competitive position, and what made those shifts possible?
