From AI Access to AI Adoption: Aligning Finance and Operations for the Agentic Era

Move from AI experimentation to repeatable workflows, stronger adoption, and measurable business impact

AI tools are becoming easier to access, but access alone does not create adoption. Many organizations are still moving from one-off pilots and individual experimentation toward department-level deployment. The real challenge is helping teams make AI part of daily work in a way that is trusted, governed, and tied to business outcomes.

Join guest speaker IDC's Amy Loomis and Oracle NetSuite's Ranga Bodla for a discussion on how finance and operations leaders can move from AI proficiency to business value. Drawing from IDC research and NetSuite's work with customers, the session will explore why AI adoption often stalls, how organizational and human-skill gaps create friction, and what leaders can do to build practical playbooks for repeatable use.

• AI leaders are moving beyond pilots to embed AI in the workflows that drive day-to-day decisions and results.
• Finance, operations, and IT can share ownership to turn AI investment into sustainable advantage.
• Leading organizations build the data, governance, and workforce readiness needed to scale with confidence.
• Teams can measure adoption and business impact to identify what is working—and where to invest next.
