We are delighted to invite you to join us for an exclusive and highly interactive showcase event where we will deep dive on getting the most value from On-Demand Technology (Cloud, SaaS & AI) spend.

The focus will be around shared insights and discussion on how C-Suite, finance and technology leaders can maximise the value of On-Demand technologies – the culture shift it entails, the innovative adoption models that it requires, and the pros & cons of cost optimisation levers.

Technology is critical to every business and its pricing model has shifted towards On-Demand technologies consumption. Everyone is now a buyer, and traditional forms of control do not provide transparency.

The result is that cost pressures are being placed on senior leaders to maximise the value of this spend whilst continually optimising the spend has become a major challenge and has become a key priority for organisations.

This event is being organised by Capgemini Invent in partnership with PointFive.

Why Attend?

We will be answering challenging questions including:

Deep Waste in Cloud. Standard FinOps Cost Optimisation techniques are now table stakes, how can you tackle deep waste and get the full value of your cloud investments.
Tackling the challenge of SaaS purchasing outside of Technology & Procurement. We will look at the hidden OpEx costs driven not by Technology but affect the wider business from a cost and security perspective.
Why considering the economics of AI is critical to success. This will give insight in how to avoid your organisation failing to achieve the ROI of their AI Investments

We are delighted to be welcoming AI & emerging technologies expert Dr Daniel Hulme as our keynote speaker for this event. Further, we will have our customers sharing their experiences of navigating through this complex journey.
