Turning Enterprise Data into Real-Time Action

The AI investment gap is widening. Despite significant spend, most AI initiatives fail to reach production or deliver measurable business value. The challenge isn’t the technology — it’s connecting data to real-world decisions and operations.

Enterprise data remains fragmented across systems with little shared context. This makes it difficult for both people and AI to interpret, trust, and act on information effectively. As a result, AI often operates outside the workflows where critical business decisions are made.

Leading organizations are taking a different approach. They are building operational data foundations that connect raw data to business concepts like customers, assets, and risk — creating shared context across the enterprise. This enables AI to move beyond isolated insights and drive real-time, consistent business actions.

By connecting data, workflows, and business logic, organizations can accelerate AI adoption, reduce operational complexity, and maintain a trusted single source of truth.

Join Rackspace Technology, Palantir and a select group of your peers as we discuss how to move from fragmented data environments to a more unified, context-driven model that supports real-time decision-making. You will gain insight into how to unlock scalable AI value by aligning data with operations and walk away with practical approaches to building a foundation where both people and AI can drive consistent, measurable business outcomes.
