Data & AI Summit NSW 2025 was a great success! Our Instaclustr team share their key takeaways from the event: ?? AI remains the hot topic. It’s clear that artificial intelligence is still the buzzword on everyone’s lips, shaping conversations across industries. ?? COVID-19 was a game-changer. The pandemic didn’t just disrupt businesses—it accelerated investment, innovation, and transformation, especially in traditionally slow-moving industries. ?? AI isn’t replacing people—it’s empowering them. Business leaders are laser-focused on using AI to enhance their teams, not replace them. The goal is to help employees be more proactive rather than reactive in their roles. ?? Successful AI initiatives involve the whole business. The companies seeing the best results are those bringing together stakeholders from across departments, aligning AI projects with clear objectives and measurable success metrics. ?? The data behind AI: What matters most When it comes to the data fueling AI, three priorities stand out: ? Quality: Ensuring accuracy and reliability. ? Security: Keeping data safe and protected. ? Ethics: Using customer data responsibly. ?? A recurring challenge? Siloed data. Many companies struggle to break down internal barriers and make their data accessible across teams in a way that drives real value. ?? AI adoption: One size doesn’t fit all While most companies have AI initiatives in place, they’re at vastly different stages. The problems they’re tackling, the roadblocks they encounter, and their overall level of AI maturity vary widely. The bottom line? AI is here to stay, but the way businesses approach it will make all the difference. #NetAppInstaclustr #AI #DataSolutions #EnterpriseInnovation
