Retail CIOs face a daunting challenge in the post-COVID market. Supply chain risk, flagging consumer confidence, cyber risks, and the race to full omni-channel convergence require technology to deliver end-to-end data and process orchestration faster, cheaper, and nimbler. The traditional ways technologists approached and prioritized these large-scale business demands will no longer be sufficient.
Intelligent Automation’s (RPA, AI/ML) fundamentally simpler architecture, shorter time-to-value, and lower cost-to-serve provides CIOs with a new value delivery vector that disrupts legacy solutioning approaches.
Previously, too often CIOs had to say “no” to legitimate business needs to protect their scarce (and expensive) development resources for only the most critical few projects. Fast changing business needs presented a moving target IT couldn’t keep up with, given their capacity. Marshalling scarce resources, CIOs would wait for the business change dust to settle before the technology change. On the other hand, the business viewed the tech team as unresponsive, slow, and costly.
Intelligent Automation’s time-to-value is less than a quarter to deliver, with a minimal cost-to-serve. Now CIOs can enable business benefits in a matter of weeks and let their business partners reap the benefits of that quick response for the quarters or years before a “big iron” core transactional system change request works its way through the IT backlog queue.
Intelligent Automation is not just a new “tool” in the enterprise toolkit. IA represents a new vector of IT value delivery – it’s fundamentally smaller time and cost scales change the reality and perception of IT value delivery.
This presentation examines IA’s game changing role and suggests where CIOs should focus to “move the needle” on Board-relevant value.

Data is king in the realm of retail innovation and differentiation. From marketing to customer experience and product development, data offers insight to streamline processes and increase bottom line growth.
However, as data collection and analysis increase, so do the regulations and policies that require serious re-evaluation of how retailers collect and use data.
Attend this keynote presentation to learn how companies are implementing data collection practices that assure consumer trust, offer personalized CX, and comply with the latest data privacy legislation.
