"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
- Arthur C. Clarke

For many we’re still in that honeymoon phase, we’re head-over-heels in love with this technology. But what happens after the magic is gone? The next phase is critical. How do weapply these technologies in a way that makes sense for our business? How do we add real value to justify the investment? 

In this presentation you will:
