Built for What’s Next: Creating the Enterprise Foundation for AI at Scale

Cloud and AI are no longer separate transformation conversations. As organizations accelerate AI adoption, many are discovering that their ambitions are beginning to expose weaknesses in the foundations underneath them: fragmented data, brittle integrations, disconnected point solutions, and business processes that were never designed for intelligent, autonomous systems.

For growing organizations in particular, that creates a difficult choice. Existing systems may no longer provide the scale, visibility, or integration the business needs, yet traditional modernization can feel too costly, complex, and disruptive. The temptation is to keep adding tools around the problem, but every additional layer can create more fragmentation and make it even harder for AI to understand how the business actually works. SAP’s re:INVENT narrative describes this as the “Growth Trap”: organizations need to scale operations and adopt AI while fearing that modernization itself could cost them their agility.

Join Blend and SAP alongside AWS re:INVENT for an executive dinner exploring how organizations can build an enterprise foundation capable of supporting both growth and AI at scale. Through candid peer discussion, we’ll examine how leaders are modernizing without overcomplicating, connecting trusted data with business processes, and preparing for a future in which AI increasingly moves beyond insight toward execution. Together, we’ll explore what it takes to create a foundation that understands how the business works, and can continue adapting as the business changes.
