CTERA Launches IntelliVerse 2025 to Address Data Readiness Challenges in AI-Driven Digital Transformation
CTERA's inaugural IntelliVerse 2025 virtual forum addresses the critical need for data readiness as enterprises face explosive data growth and AI integration challenges, providing strategic insights for IT leaders and business executives.
CTERA, a leader in integrated data intelligence, has announced IntelliVerse 2025, a free two-day virtual event scheduled for September 16-17. The forum aims to equip IT leaders, business executives, and technology professionals with strategies to manage, protect, store, and leverage data across distributed environments. This initiative comes at a crucial time when global data is projected to reach 181 zettabytes in 2025, highlighting the urgent need for enterprises to address data growth, security risks, and AI integration.
The event will focus on data readiness and leveraging artificial intelligence in digital transformation, emphasizing how organizations can operationalize enterprise intelligence for efficiency, resilience, and compliance. Industry experts warn that maintaining outdated storage infrastructure poses significant risks, making modernization essential to future-proof data strategies. Karyn Price, Industry Director of ICT at Frost & Sullivan, noted that educational forums like IntelliVerse offer invaluable opportunities for industry leaders to discover optimal strategies for their organizations.
IntelliVerse 2025 is structured into three distinct tracks: General Sessions featuring keynotes and panels by industry experts, Partner Sessions for CTERA's channel and strategic partners focusing on business growth, and Customer Sessions providing hands-on learning for maximizing data infrastructure investments. The forum will bring together thought leaders, analysts, partners, and customers to share expertise and real-world insights. For more details and registration, visit CTERA's blog.
Brad Shimmin, Vice President and Practice Lead of Data Intelligence at The Futurum Group, highlighted that many stalled AI initiatives stem from data readiness issues rather than AI challenges. He emphasized that forums like IntelliVerse allow experts to share insights on building competitive advantages beyond AI models. Cheryle Cushion, SVP of Marketing at CTERA, stated that the event addresses the challenges of a data-driven future, including threat landscapes, unstructured data growth, and AI's transformative impact, delivering practical strategies for organizations to stay ahead.
