Event Overview
Manufacturing, Retail, and Distribution (MRD) enterprises are moving beyond cloud-enabled automation into a new era of intelligence powered by AI and real-time analytics. With GPU-accelerated, AI-ready cloud platforms and hybrid/multi-cloud architectures, organizations can drive predictive maintenance, demand forecasting, dynamic pricing, and personalized customer engagement. Seamless integration of edge environments ensures resilient, real-time operations across factory floors, warehouses, and retail networks, while digital twins enable simulation and optimization at scale.
At the same time, sustainability and cost optimization remain central to boardroom priorities. Carbon-aware computing, FinOps-driven governance, and AI-enabled orchestration are reshaping how MRD enterprises extract business value from cloud innovation. This webinar hosted by Sify will explore how cloud and edge strategies accelerate AI adoption, operational excellence, and customer value while ensuring enterprises remain future-ready.
Discussion Points:
- Building AI-ready cloud platforms for MRD enterprises;
- Designing hybrid and multi-cloud architecture for smart operations;
- Integrating edge and cloud for real-time insights;
- Driving governance, cost control and sustainability with FinOps;
- Deploying digital twins and agentic AI for continuous innovation;
- Real-world MRD use cases and Sify’s AI Cloud stack.
