What do Australian enterprises really think of Generative AI, and its impact on Enterprise Applications

With the advent of Generative AI (GenAI), expectations have been running high for a while now among many businesses searching for positive impact on productivity and efficiency.  ANZ businesses were more skeptical of short-term disruption by GenAI compared to their global counterparts, with more than 25% of respondents predicting “No Impact” over the next 18 months.  Today that has changed, with 87% of ANZ businesses doing initial proof of concept or investing significantly with new budgets for this purpose.  While AI has been around for some time, it has been the domain of the data science teams - with new interest from Boards, the main question they are asking the C-suite is 'how can this help?'  In this session, IDC will unpack how enterprises are now changing their minds about AI, and how business impact can be realised.  In this presentation, IDC will use the lens of a Chief Finance Officer to set the tone on use cases for business functions and roadblocks to overcome
