Using AI to reduce the cost and complexity of modernising London market operations
Overcoming the people, process, data and governance challenges to leverage AI-enabled software development
Bob Bob Ricard, Leadenhall
Free to attend | Only 15 places
Overview
AI-enabled software development is changing the economics of technology delivery, enabling London market organisations to develop and deploy solutions faster, at lower cost and with less reliance on traditional development models. This creates new opportunities to overcome legacy technology constraints, tackle longstanding operational inefficiencies and accelerate transformation.
However, realising these opportunities requires organisations to rethink how they develop, procure and manage technology.
From building the right internal capabilities and improving data accessibility to governance, security and development processes, organisations must balance the need for speed and innovation with maintaining control, resilience and operational discipline.

Topics for discussion include:
-
How AI-enabled software development can reduce technology costs, shorten development cycles and tackle longstanding operational inefficiencies
-
Rethinking traditional build versus buy decisions to reduce costs and accelerate the delivery of new solutions
-
Overcoming legacy technology constraints and fragmented data to modernise operations without costly, large-scale replacement programmes
-
Adapting governance, security and testing processes to enable faster development without compromising control, compliance or operational resilience
-
Developing the skills, capabilities and team structures needed to take advantage of AI-enabled software development and new ways of working

Case study: Leveraging AI to modernise legacy technology faster and at a lower cost
-
The business challenge of modernising legacy operations when traditional software development is expensive, resource-intensive and slow to deliver
-
How AI-enabled development was used to build an operational solution internally, reducing reliance on external suppliers and lengthy development cycles
-
The practical challenges encountered, from accessing and integrating data to managing security, governance and the quality of AI-generated code
-
Lessons learned about the skills, processes and capabilities needed to develop and deploy solutions faster, more cost-effectively and without increasing operational risk
