Avanade at Microsoft Ignite 2024
Featured Speakers
It seems like a new AI copilot is announced every week. While they may be seen as tools for productivity, this view is short-sighted. Copilots will upend IT, requiring a re-think of enterprise architecture, app portfolios, and how to measure and enable people. Led by Avanade Chief Technology Officer Aaron Reich, this session will explore the evolution of copilots, the workforce, and your digital core, emphasizing the need to think differently to uncover value across Microsoft investments.
