Industry Leaders at the Forefront

Bogdan Herea-Buzatu, our VP, Engineering in the EMEA region, interacted with attendees, offering a unique perspective on the evolving relationship between AI and engineering in the region. He emphasized the role that the iX Product Suite plays in delivering exceptional experiences for businesses. He added, “at the end of the day, it’s all about creating better experiences for people.”

Atif Rashid, Solutions Director, Transformation, offered visitors deep insights into the transformational impact of tools like iX Hello in the workplace. For many prospective clients who spoke with Rashid, seeing the potential of AI to boost productivity and revenue proved invaluable.

And Julien Duméry, Senior Director, Financial Crime and Compliance, held discussions focused on areas such as know your customer (KYC), anti-money laundering (AML), fraud detection, and compliance innovations. Duméry opened dialogues with attendees who faced these complex challenges in fintech companies.

Based on the expert perspectives of Concentrix’s attendees at Web Summit, here are ways the future of industries is being shaped by AI transformation.

1. Customer Experience Reigns Supreme

Chris Caldwell’s fireside chat reiterated what many in the tech world are quickly realizing—CX is the ultimate differentiator. Leveraging AI and predictive analytics isn’t just a “nice to have” anymore. It’s a business imperative. Companies that invest in personalized, proactive CX will see increased retention and loyalty. He encouraged businesses to see their teammates as strategists, equipped with AI tools that empower them to better interpret customer needs.

2. AI Is Redefining Productivity

Throughout the event, there was a strong focus on leveraging AI as a tool to streamline operations. Rashid demonstrated how iX Hello integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, enabling companies to eliminate time-consuming, repetitive tasks. According to Rashid, this results in “meaningful changes for clients—accelerated productivity, reduced operational costs, and long-term scalability.”

3. Frictionless, End-to-End AI Solutions Are the Gold Standard

Herea-Buzatu challenged attendees to think about AI transformation holistically. “The days of disjointed or single-use tools are over. Businesses need platforms that combine features like customer data analysis, messaging, and automation in one place.” Such solutions not only reduce friction but also ensure consistency in delivery, a must for enterprise-level scalability.

4. The Future of Compliance Is Automated

For companies navigating fraud, disputes, or compliance regulations, Duméry explained how automation and AI reduce high-stakes errors in financial crime prevention. Using detailed rule-based engines paired with machine learning, “companies can proactively identify anomalies and stay ahead of irregularities.” Innovation in these areas enables an agile response to increasingly complex regulations.

5. Collaboration Is the Secret to Innovation

The biggest theme that emerged from Web Summit 2024 was that no one does it alone. Whether through cross-functional collaborations or partnerships, innovation happens when businesses align their capabilities. Caldwell encouraged attendees to seek out partnerships that challenge their thinking, elevate ideas, and speed up their results.

Shaping the Future of AI Innovation

Web Summit 2024 proved to be a hub of transformative dialogue and game-changing strategies. From customer service enhancements to compliance and fraud prevention, the event underscored one truth—businesses that innovate now will thrive tomorrow.
