Embracing IT modernisation is not just a strategic choice but a critical necessity for staying competitive in a rapidly changing world. Upgrading to advanced technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and automation empowers businesses to enhance operational efficiency and adaptability while ensuring robust data security and compliance. This transformation not only fosters innovation but also equips companies with the tools necessary to respond swiftly to evolving market demands. But for leaders, the path forward isn’t just about upgrading systems — it’s about doing so without disruption to operations, compliance, or customer experience.

This half-day event, organised by the Financial Times in partnership with Rocket Software, will bring together leaders from FTSE companies and other large organisations to explore strategies for modernising IT systems. The discussions are designed to provide practical business-critical takeaways focused on leveraging AI to manage data effectively while enhancing security and ensuring regulatory compliance.
