This fragmentation places an undue burden on IT leaders, who often lack the resources and time to integrate these disparate systems effectively. Our CTO, Nabil Bukhari, will discuss the critical need for platforms that offer a simplified, unified experience across networking, AI, and security. By providing seamless, out-of-the-box integrations these platforms alleviate complexities for both users and decision makers alike, enabling CIOs to focus on driving value and strategic initiatives. Join us to explore how platformization is transforming IT management and driving escalating value and efficiency.
