Event Focus: From Data to Business Value
The evening’s discussions revolved around a central question:
How can CIOs unlock the full potential of AI and data to transform banking and insurance – while radically reducing costs and complexity?
As the pace of innovation accelerates, CIOs in regulated industries face unprecedented pressure to:
- Modernize legacy platforms
- Consolidate fragmented information landscapes across systems and geographies
- Embrace AI and automation
- Ensure compliance and governance
- All while driving measurable business outcomes and reducing operational costs
Key Topics Explored
Throughout the evening, several powerful perspectives were discussed and debated:
- Data, AI, and Innovation – It’s All About Business Value
AI is a powerful enabler, but success is measured by the value it delivers – cost savings, improved compliance, and tangible results. - AI Hype vs. Real Outcomes
While the market is flooded with AI hype, enterprises must focus on outcomes over experimentation, framing AI as a means to achieve business goals, not an end in itself. - AI for Enterprises: Power, but with Control
CIOs must balance innovation with security, compliance, ethics, and governance – ensuring AI is scalable, responsible, and aligned with enterprise needs. - Content Modernization as a Strategic Lever
Legacy content systems create hidden costs and fragmentation. Modernizing through content consolidation, standardization, and AI-powered lifecycle management can reduce costs by up to 70% while unlocking AI readiness.
Why This Theme Matters Now
CIOs are increasingly expected to bridge IT and Business – not just delivering technology, but enabling strategic impact.
In this context, enterprise content modernization and consolidation becomes not just a technical upgrade, but a strategic business accelerator for cost reduction, AI enablement, and business agility.
Our Commitment
At Axivant, we believe that AI is no longer just a technology initiative – it’s a business imperative.
We are proud to support leading organizations in banking and insurance on their transformation journey – helping them move from ambition to execution, and from experimentation to measurable value.
