Generative AI is defining the next generation of marketing today. Delivering hyper-personalised, multi-channel customer experiences at a fraction of the time and cost. Helping you glean insights from your data in an instant. Detecting and responding to conversion opportunities in real time. Experimenting to enhance
customer experience and deliver results at pace.

This year, 98% of CEOs will invest in their company’s generative AI capability. But 66% remain uncertain of the optimal adoption path for their organisation.1 To assist, Adobe collaborated with the EY organisation to undertake a series of structured, qualitative interviews to learn from generative AI first movers.

The Patriots found uniformity, efficiency and more in Paycom. After making the switch, the benefits of having a single software became immediately apparent, from improved customer service to an intuitively designed interface.

With Paycom’s Employee Self-Service®, every member of the organization — including the players who take the field — now has easy access to his or her own HR information, from time-off requests to benefits enrollment and everything in between. And thanks to the Paycom mobile app, clocking in and out — whether for another day at the office or that big game — is as easy as logging in and pressing a button on the same device most people are already using in their personal lives.

How much more effective would you be at work if you could instantly understand the context of any project or policy in the history of your business? With Slack AI, you can.

Slack AI is an intuitive AI experience embedded in your workspace that helps you search, summarize and find answers faster. You don’t need to become a prompt engineer to harness the power of AI; in Slack, with one-click solutions, it’s easy for anyone to take advantage of AI.

Join this upcoming webinar to learn more and see our AI in action. You’ll learn how it can empower your employees with trusted AI in Slack—where the flow of work already happens—so they can reach their most productive potential.

The race is on for companies to harness the power of generative AI (gen
AI) and translate the potential of this revolutionary technology into real
results. As the CEO of Slack from Salesforce, I’m privileged to witness and
contribute to this remarkable evolution. Every week, I meet with C-suite
leaders who are on the front lines of this transformation, determining how
their company can securely leverage artificial intelligence (AI) tools to take their business to the next level—whether that’s unlocking efficiencies,
driving growth, or empowering their people to be more productive.

One question I’ve heard time and again from business leaders is: What
should I prioritize as I’m developing my organization’s blueprint for AI? My
answer: business value. At Salesforce, we believe that AI tools must be
deeply trusted, intuitively embedded in the flow of work, and grounded
in your business’s unique data and metadata in order to really transform
business outcomes.

At the dawn of our new AI era, how are desk workers feeling about how AI will impact the way we work? What percentage are using AI and automation tools today and how are these tools affecting workplace productivity?

In its latest survey of more than 10,000 desk workers around the globe, the Workforce Lab from Slack, a Salesforce company, answers these questions and quantifies new trends in AI use among these professionals. This eBook specifically delves into AI adoption among UK businesses, comparing their position to other EMEA countries.

For British business leaders, this eBook serves as a guide to identifying key areas for AI implementation and in particular, Slack application, to help you stay competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape.

L’environnement commercial international est empreint d’un optimisme mesuré en 2024, et les responsables de la fabrication industrielle (M&I) ont plus de raisons que quiconque d’être enthousiastes. Les législations clés adoptées en 2021 et 2022 ont considérablement favorisé les investissements nationaux dans les infrastructures et la fabrication, avec les dépenses de construction
annuelles dans le secteur manufacturier atteignant 201 milliards de dollars en juillet 2023, soit une augmentation de 70% sur un an. 1 Malgré ces investissements, les responsables de l’approvisionnement continuent de faire face à des défis constants. Les retards récurrents dans la chaîne d’approvisionnement, la pénurie de talents, les objectifs de neutralité carbone et l’équilibre entre la numérisation et les risques de cybersécurité restent des
priorités.1 Beaucoup cherchent à répondre aux exigences actuelles avec de nouvelles innovations et stratégies, positionnant l’approvisionnement comme un contributeur clé dans la croissance de leur entreprise. Ces dernières années ont montré que la croissance et la réussite dépendent de l’adaptabilité et de la flexibilité. Les professionnels de l’approvisionnement qui visent l’excellence doivent adopter un état d’esprit flexible, en redéfinissant les paradigmes existants et ens’adaptant à de nouvelles pratiques. Les solutions numériques (transformations intelligentes de l’usine, l’IA générative, l’approvisionnement électronique) peuvent jouer un rôle crucial dans cette transformation, en offrant des avantages évolutifs, une facilité d’utilisation et des outils de mise en œuvre en libre-service essentiels permettant des opérations plus efficaces et résilientes.

History tells us that with every paradigm shift, there are planned promises and
unintended perils. The automobile enabled freedom, but also urban sprawl; the invention of plastic provided many products but accelerated environmental pollution; and while social media can connect and mobilize us, it has also triggered a mental health crisis. There is a roiling debate today over where AI
takes us. Tech optimists feel that its power holds life-altering promise. Tech pessimists, on the other hand, fear what those unintended consequences of AI will be and how they will affect humanity. How can we be certain —how can even the experts be certain — when the technology is moving so fast that taking
your eyes off it for a week renders you behind the times?

One thing is clear. AI is fundamentally reshaping society and business. As data
and analytics leaders, we have a critical role in shaping how AI is being — and will be — used. But we can’t wait for the tech pundits to settle their debate, because the decisions we make now will determine whether AI fulfills its
potential as a positive force or not. A crucial part of that role is identifying
emerging trends and the themes that inform them. With 2025 upon us, we highlight what we believe will shape the conversation around data and AI adoption over the coming year, to help organizations like yours make vital decisions that could have long-term consequences — for the better.

Real-time data today is in demand by everyone — and everywhere — throughout an enterprise. Now more than ever, it’s important for independent software vendors (ISVs), data providers, and digital businesses to be able to transform their customers’ complex data andscapes into a wide array of actionable insights. Data-driven insights powered by technologies like
artificial intelligence (AI) can quickly help coursecorrect a missed sales forecast, provide innovative, customer-centric ideas for new products; or help call
center reps better respond to unhappy customers. However none of those scenarios are possible without high-quality, clean, integrated dat.

If you’re an ISV, data provider, or digital business, the demand from your customers for real-time access to data with high business value may present you with integration scenarios that could be costly, timeconsuming, and difficult to resolve without the right technology. However, a data integration solution that takes advantage of innovative technology can provide your customers with the accurate data they need to make AI-powered, real-time intelligent decisions.

Increased demand for intelligent applications presents opportunities for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and data providers to create applications with embedded intelligence to improve engagement and fuel revenue expansion. As demand switches to SaaS applications and subscription licensing, working with embedded analytics providers enables SVs to respond rapidly to evolving customer requirements and the latest AI capabilities to deliver AI-powered analytics applications that provide non-technical users with contextual
access to data-driven insights. 

Leading organizations recognize that the use of data and analytics in decision-making processes is essential to establish and maintain competitive advantage. The use of analytics is foundational in helping business users shape strategic decision-making, with artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) increasingly being adopted to deliver advanced
predictive analytics and automated assistance. Analytics and AI are also critical in enabling organizations to run the business. The delivery of contextually relevant data, recommendations, predictions and forecasting increases efficiency and improves the customer experience by delivering actionable insight to decision-makers in their preferred applications—on desktop or mobile.
