Beyond Visibility: Turning Risk into Continuous Compliance

A practitioner-led discussion on how mature ITAM — powered by AI and unified with ITOM, Security Posture Management, and access intelligence on ServiceNow — reduces audit exposure, license overspend

Overview:

As organizations scale, unmanaged assets, inconsistent operations, and unclear access rights quietly erode audit readiness and expand risk exposure.

Topic: AI in the SDLC: From Experimentation to Enterprise Advantage

AI is redefining how software is built.

AI is rapidly becoming a core layer of the software delivery lifecycle. The leadership challenge is no longer whether to use AI in the SDLC—but how to scale it in a way that preserves speed, restores trust, and maintains control. We are looking at this from three key lenses:

• Enterprise Perspective: How do we institutionalize AI in software delivery without slowing it down—or losing control?
• Engineering Perspective: What does an AI-native engineering workflow look like that improves both speed and quality?
• Market Perspective: In a world where models change fast, what will enterprises pay for—and stick with?

The Industrialization Gap: Straight Talk on What It Actually Takes to Make Enterprise AI Stick

Most enterprises are not short of AI ambition or AI spending. They are short of the unfiltered truth about why industrialization keeps slipping and what the few who’ve crossed that threshold actually did differently.

Only ~30% of organizations have reached maturity level 3+ in AI strategy and governance. It’s not because the technology is immature, but because the hardest problems are organizational, architectural, and deeply human. In this closed-door session, senior executives from Retail, Banking, and Insurance will hear first-hand from peers who have navigated the inflection point — the data decisions that couldn’t be delegated, the governance structures that enabled rather than entombed, and the cloud foundations that turned isolated models into enterprise-grade capability. Hosted by Brillio and Amazon Web Services, this is a room built for candour.

• Only ~30% of organizations have reached maturity level 3+ in AI strategy and governance
• Only a minority of enterprises who have invested USD 25 million & above report AI-driven EBIT impact above 5%
• Only 27% have fully embedded an AI strategy across business units, and just 37% are comfortable assigning AI agents to execute full end-to-end processes in operations
• 87% say poor data quality has hampered their progress in achieving value

What you will leave with:

• The unspoken decisions that determine whether AI compounds or stagnates: Peer accounts of the data ownership, cloud architecture, and organizational calls that textbooks don’t cover and that consultants rarely surface, drawn from executives who made them under real business pressure.
• A governance blueprint that gives AI teams speed without surrendering control: How enterprises in regulated industries built risk, compliance, and model-oversight structures that accelerated deployment by replacing performative guardrails with frameworks that actually reduce exposure while preserving velocity.

The cloud and data foundation beneath every AI success story: A practitioner’s view of the architectural choices from data modernization to scalable AI infrastructure on AWS that distinguish enterprises whose AI grows more valuable over time from those whose pilots quietly expire.
