Middle-Market AI Success: Real-World Case Studies of Peer-Driven Value Creation

Description

Middle-market companies often lack the massive R&D budgets of the Fortune 500, yet they possess a distinct agility advantage. Dr. Gleb Tsipursky presents concrete case studies where mid-sized organizations utilized peer-driven development to outperform enterprise competitors. You will examine how finance and operations teams successfully deployed low-code platforms to build custom internal tools, bypassing seven-figure vendor contracts. This session analyzes how a "bottom-up" innovation strategy maximizes limited resources and turns your existing workforce into a high-ROI development engine. Learn how your peers leverage this accessible technology to secure a competitive edge without bloating the balance sheet.
