I had an incredible time presenting at the session on "How Microsoft Can Help You Build and Sell Differentiated AI Apps" at #MSIgnite. We delved into the transformative potential of #AI, likening its impact to past technological revolutions like the steam engine and electricity. AI is truly a game-changer, and it's exciting to see how it will continue to revolutionize our world.    One of the highlights was discussing how AI is democratizing technology, making it accessible to everyone. From Siemens' natural language copilot for factory workers to Visier Inc.’s Gen AI journey enabling them to roll out solutions to enterprise customers and partners, the possibilities are endless. It's amazing to see how AI is being used for good and making a real difference in people's lives.    We also emphasized the importance of growth and retention in the #SaaS model. Expanding revenue through new channels and retaining customers are essential strategies for success. Let's keep pushing the boundaries and exploring new opportunities!    Exciting times ahead!    Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the insightful discussions. Let's continue to innovate and leverage AI to create a better future. #AI #Innovation #TechRevolution #SaaS #BusinessGrowth #Partnership Adam Binnie, Jeff Zobrist, Mike Hulme, Mandy Whaley & Yina Arenas https://lnkd.in/gaMYeXJk

Generative AI isn't exactly a “light” workload! 💡 It requires immense computational power and infrastructure and multi-cloud architecture enables businesses to tap into these resources. Instead of hosting on-premise or only through one cloud provider, using a mix-and-match approach allows companies to optimize costs and ensure greater flexibility and scalability in their operations. ✅ https://lnkd.in/dBJmH7yG #Cloud #Multicloud #GenAI

The sale of IBM's Qradar is a one-sided win. Not for IBM... but for the Palo Alto network. Palo Alto is about 15 years old with $8B in revenue, growing at roughly 20% YoY. IBM is a 100+ year-old company with $66B in revenue, growing at 2% YoY. Their security revenues have rather fallen recently. For IBM, this is a play of operational efficiency, defining its priorities, and focus. But, for Palo Alto, this is another rocketship deal. It gives them: 💡 Access to a Gartner-leading SIEM solution. 💡 Access to a massive customer base 💡 1000s of IBM sales reps who will now sell Palo Alto solutions.
