Utilizing cloud computing and applying enterprise architecture principles is essential to effectively manage across platforms that are governed and secure. Leaning in and leading with the focal point on investment and technology requirements for automation and intelligence through generative AI will determine the destiny of a technology battle to one that is destined for winning.
