AI continues to reshape technology and business; yet for the network, enterprise connectivity in the AI age means being always-on, and extra vigilant for sovereignty and security besides.<\/p>\n
This means that speed is not the only requirement. As Julian Skeels, chief digital officer at Expereo notes, it is more about \u2018certainty.\u2019 \u201cAI workloads are distributed, they\u2019re continuous, they\u2019re incredibly latency-sensitive. Inference, monitoring, retrieval and remediation never stop, so that changes the network\u2019s role,\u201d says Skeels.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the world of AI, networking actually becomes a system dependency,\u201d he adds. \u201cWhen the network degrades, the application degrades immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn AI-ready network needs to make data movement deterministic. It\u2019s not just about it being fast; it\u2019s about it being predictable, and observable, and governable, and resilient \u2013 and to do all those things under continual change.\u201d<\/p>\n
Many CIOs, however, are struggling right now with what Skeels describes as \u2018connectivity everywhere but visibility nowhere.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re dealing with hybrid networks, multiple clouds, multiple providers and portals that create a constant operational drag to their teams,\u201d says Skeels. \u201cWhat they want is clarity and control \u2013 not more tools.\u201d<\/p>\n
Skeels arrived at Expereo last year with myriad cross-industry experience in product and digital transformation initiatives under his belt. He found an industry ripe for accelerative change, and a company determined to lead the way and ensure pricing global connectivity should take minutes rather than weeks.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I came to Expereo, I saw that global connectivity has, I would say, largely resisted real digital transformation for a long time,\u201d notes Skeels. \u201cMost customers will still experience it as slow, and manual, and opaque, and fragmented across the dozens of providers and portals they need to work with.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe, though, that with emerging technologies such as agentic AI, that\u2019s finally changing,\u201d adds Skeels. \u201cOur ambition here is to make global connectivity as simple, and immediate, and transparent as cloud computing is for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Enabling such change for customers requires that mix of speed and visibility \u2013 and this is where the expereoOne platform comes in, to provide what the company calls \u2018visibility at the speed of life\u2019 and give customers a single, global view of what is being deployed, how it is performing, and what it costs. Beyond visibility, customers also need proactivity, as Skeels explains. \u201cWe\u2019re deeply integrated into our customers\u2019 order management, their ITSM, their ERP systems, which makes working with Expereo at scale absolutely seamless,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe key point is that better visibility isn\u2019t about more dashboards. It\u2019s about connecting network behaviour to their business outcomes in terms of resilience, security experience, and cost.\u201d<\/p>\n
Skeels is speaking at the Digital Transformation Expo Global on February 4-5 around designing the AI-ready network \u2013 and his session promises to subvert the usual advice for those in attendance. \u201cI want to challenge a few things,\u201d notes Skeels. \u201cI want to ask people to consider even unlearning things they\u2019ve learned in the past.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of what we\u2019ve taken for granted about networks no longer holds in an AI world.\u201d<\/p>\n
