Panel Discussion: The Economics of Enterprise AI: Beyond the Pilot, Toward Sustainable Scale

Moderator: CY Chan, MD for Singapore, GCR & KR at Qlik
Featuring GSI & Tech Alliance Partners: Accenture, Databricks & AWS
+ Darren Watkins, Regional Vice President of Sales, APJ at Starburst
+ Deepika Giri, Research Vice President at IDC

Despite unprecedented investment in AI, many enterprises still struggle to scale beyond isolated pilots—not because the technology falls short, but because the economics don’t. As organizations move from proof of concept to enterprise-wide deployment, success increasingly depends on balancing AI performance with cost, data readiness, governance, and architectural choices.

Bringing together leaders from Qlik, Accenture, Starburst, Databricks, AWS and IDC, this panel explores what it truly takes to make AI economically sustainable at scale. Through real-world experiences and regional deployments, the discussion will examine how organizations can optimize compute, reduce data movement, govern trusted data, and deliver measurable business outcomes—turning AI from an exciting experiment into an operational advantage.
