How AI is transforming the ITSM landscape, scaling IT maturity, and helping teams do more

Today’s IT teams do so much more than just ‘keep the lights on’—they’re powering experiences that help drive strategic value. But scaling IT operations while managing growing demands and limited resources requires a strategic approach.

So, what’s really moving the needle? How are best-in-class organisations delivering impact across cost, speed, and employee experience? How are they boosting productivity, cutting legacy tools, and improving IT efficiency?

Join experts from Freshworks, along with a group of likeminded peers, as we explore how organisations can effectively scale IT capabilities, optimise costs, and adopt practical solutions—including AI—to drive innovation and efficiency without compromising on sustainability. You’ll discover strategies to advance IT maturity, enhance efficiency, and integrate AI as a key enabler for growth and innovation, so your teams can work smarter, not harder!
