[Virtual] PRO Session: From Hype to Impact: Cracking the Code on AI ROI

Wednesday February 19, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST

Nabil Bukhari, Extreme Networks, Chief Product & Technology Officer, EVP, GM Subscription Business

In the race to adopt AI, even experienced business leaders can find themselves focusing too much on the technology itself, leading to less-than-optimal results. AI isn’t just about algorithms, machine learning, and large language models - it’s about the meaningful impact it can deliver when applied strategically. Nabil Bukhari, CTO and GM of subscriptions at Extreme Networks, the world’s fastest growing cloud networking company, offers a fresh perspective on AI strategy—one that prioritizes real outcomes over flashy applications.

In this session, Nabil will present the ARC Framework, a proven approach that guides organizations (A)ccelerating existing processes, (R)eplacing outdated systems, and (C)reating valuable new experiences, all to ensure AI investments drive measurable business impact.

This framework took shape during the development of Extreme Platform One, one of Extreme’s most ambitious projects to date. In a world where 80% of AI projects fail, Extreme Platform One stands out for simplifying complex network management and delivering tangible value to organizations of all sizes. The ARC Framework highlights that AI itself is not the innovation - it’s how we apply it strategically to create meaningful outcomes. Learn actionable strategies to avoid common pitfalls, like chasing hype or low-impact use cases, and harness AI’s true potential to drive transformation in your business.

This is a must-attend for anyone looking to integrate AI in a way that optimizes AI investments, complements their organization’s culture, solves actual business challenges, and positions them for lasting impact. Join us to explore how you can lead AI-driven change with purpose and impact.

[Virtual] KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): The Agentic Workforce Revolution: How to Futureproof Your Governance Framework

Wednesday February 19, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST

VIRTUAL AI DevWorld Main Stage

Manish Rai, Snaplogic, VP of Product Marketing

The rise of AI agents shows no sign of slowing down, with the market projected* to grow tenfold from $5 billion in 2024 to nearly $50 billion by 2030. By this time, generative AI will be table stakes, and business and IT leaders will instead be grappling with how to manage an entire workforce of AI agents carrying out a range of automated tasks.

In an AI-powered future, enterprises are like gardens with AI agents as gardeners, helping the landscapers maintain the estate. These agents are smart, self sufficient tools, and excel at specific tasks, but if the tool shed is disorganized they will be slowed down — or worse, use the wrong soil or seeds and cause irreparable damage, preventing the garden from blooming to its full potential. To avoid this, organizations must keep their tools in order.

In this session, Manish Rai will explore a range of considerations for enterprises as they implement and scale a team of AI agents to set themselves up for long-term success. It will encompass topics such as function management, and how to govern the tools AI agents will have access to — while maintaining guardrails. As use cases for AI agents expand to non-technical teams, Rai will also discuss key stakeholders for overseeing implementation to prevent shadow data. Finally, he will provide tips for organizations seeking to rework their overall data governance framework to meet the moment head on, and be prepared for a new agentic workforce.
