Organizations invest in AI to enhance business value, concentrating on data, partnerships, infrastructure, security, and application development. According to the latest CIO Playbook from IDC, 42 percent of AI investments this year will flow to generative AI (GenAI), a clear indicator of where the industry is heading.
Lenovo is at the forefront of this evolution, investing $1 billion in AI initiatives that enhance productivity through AI devices and AI-optimized computing infrastructure. With 90 percent of organizations planning to explore AI-powered PC rollouts, there’s no better time for Lenovo 360 channel partners to align with these advancements and help clients leverage AI’s potential to drive business value.
