Innovate Now Episode 5: From BI to AI – Building a Modern Data & Analytics Strategy

Welcome to Innovate Now: Replacing Legacy BI with AI-Driven Intelligence

Is your business still relying on static dashboards and siloed data? In today’s AI-first era, legacy business intelligence (BI) tools are no longer sufficient. Modern organisations need agile, governed, cloud-native platforms that not only visualise data but also predict, learn, and act on it in real-time. 

In Episode 5 of Innovate Now, Kagool’s Lalith Korae and Microsoft’s Peter Humble, hosted by Kevin Little, dive into the real-world transformation from traditional business intelligence to AI-powered decision-making. Learn how leading organisations are modernising data architecture, migrating SAP to Azure, and building scalable platforms that turn data into a competitive advantage.
