The potential for AI to transform your business is highly dependent on the quality of your data. There is a path to improve your AI data-readiness and capture ROI today. Outcome-based scoring with proven AI-models can create quantifiable improvements in customer churn reduction, growth acceleration, and cost efficiency. Learn how to invest today for Net Retention impact this year.

The big play in customer support is to look at the total cost to serve across the enterprise, not just within individual service delivery channels, like field services, assisted support, or self-service. So, if we want to optimize service delivery costs and serve customers in a timely manner, meaningful product telemetry is the only way to go.   With an install base under contract generating telemetry, you can develop a data strategy to feed your AI strategy.

‍

Join us as our Ask the Experts panel gives insights into their journey to reduce their total service cost and how data analytics and AI play a strategic role in the process.

CROs, CCOs, and top sales executives know AI and Analytics will significantly impact their worlds. But what are people doing right now? How are they leveraging AI, or are they using it at all? What data and analytics are companies using, and how are they preparing for a data and AI-driven future?

‍

In this Ask the Expert discussion, we'll address your questions and others, such as:

‍

How do we get our data ready for AI?

What's APLAER, and how do we practically leverage analytics?

How do we bust through our data silos?

What sort of data will our partners need to be successful? What are the important questions I should ask our company and vendors?

There is a belief that AI can fundamentally improve the intelligence, profitability, and scale of the business models of TSIA members. However, it is not clear what the actual use case scenarios and business benefits companies will receive from employing AI. AI is an incredibly broad topic that will impact and potentially accelerate managed service organization capabilities.

‍

To learn more about AI's use cases and business benefits, you can attend this Ask the Experts session on AI and Automation in Managed Services, where our experts will share their insights and answer your questions on how AI can help transform your business.

Join this Professional Services interactive session and ask the experts questions about AI use cases in PS delivery or operations.

As the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”  And so it goes with AI.  The hardest part is just getting started.  It could be that you need to identify an opportunity for which AI could be implemented.  Or, maybe you have identified an opportunity, but you’re meeting resistance from executive management.  Whatever the case might be, this open Q&A session provides a platform for the audience to pose questions to each other and to a panel of Education Services members who have implemented AI in their organizations.

‍

Please come to this session prepared to participate, whether asking a question, answering a question, or just sharing the current state of AI in your education organization and/or company at large.  Hopefully, you’ll leave this session inspired to take that first step towards implementing an AI project.
