In his presentation, entitled “The Future Enterprise: Hyperscale, Hyperspeed and Hyperconnected,” Gens will share more insight into how the greater scale and speed of innovation and operation will be powered by hyperconnected operating models, sourcing value from - and distributing value through - massive, API-based digital platforms and communities.
