Transforming to an AI-Driven Organization: Data, AI, and Cloud Trends

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a luxury initiative—it has become a strategic imperative for organizations seeking to maintain competitive advantage. Yet industry studies reveal that up to 80% of AI initiatives fail to deliver expected outcomes, not because of flawed algorithms, but due to insufficiently prepared data infrastructure.

For today’s CIOs and CTOs, the challenge is increasingly pressing:

  • Data Fragmentation (Data Silos)
    Critical information is scattered across CRM systems, ERP platforms, SaaS applications, and internal databases, making it extremely difficult to establish a reliable Single Source of Truth.

  • Poor Data Quality
    Inconsistent, incomplete, or low-quality data leads to unreliable AI outputs and introduces significant risks to data-driven decision-making.

  • Complex Data Pipelines
    Managing and monitoring data pipelines across dozens of data sources requires significant operational resources while often delivering limited efficiency.

  • The Core Reality
    You cannot build a resilient AI ecosystem on a fragile data foundation. To successfully embed AI into business operations, organizations must first ensure that their data is standardized, unified, and governed within a robust infrastructure.

Key Topics Covered in the Webinar

This session will explore both technical and strategic approaches to addressing infrastructure fragmentation, focusing on three essential pillars.

  • Building an AI-Ready Data Platform
  • Dual-Path Strategy for System Integration
  • Regional Case Studies & Implementation Insights

            Dare to Orchestrate Data, Agents, and Roles

            What will matter most for enterprise AI success over the next 2 years?

            Webinar

            Qlik Trends 2026

            POWERING the Future of AI:
            Dare to Orchestrate Data, Agents, and Roles

            Available On-Demand

            Everyone is looking for AI ROI. But with so many organizations invested — yet so few seeing a return — what needs to change?

             

            For decades, companies have dutifully marched back and forth, loosening the reins when much-needed advancement becomes stifled, then pulling back to feel safe by “restoring order.” In 2026, however, the winning model when it comes to data doesn’t rely on choosing the “right” side of this perpetual pendulum. It’s about deriving power through orchestration across both sides.

             

            In this highly anticipated streaming event, join Qlik’s Market Intelligence Lead, Dan Sommer for Powering the Future of AI: Dare to Orchestrate Data, Agents, and Roles, where he will reveal the three key areas that successful enterprises must wire together to ensure integrity, connect every system seamlessly, and fuel innovation at the edge. And we’ll map out how to get your organization’s data strategy there by exploring the trends that underpin this new model — where the challenge isn’t perpetual reactive motion but creating a unified grid that spans the divide.

             

            Register and dare to embrace a new model for AI mastery.
