The CIO’s AI-Ready Enterprise
About this episode
Jeanne Glass discusses the CIO's vision for building an AI-ready enterprise and the importance of trusted enterprise data.
What separates CIO visionaries from CIO operators in 2026? In this episode of Skyward Data, Jeanne Glass shares the CIO vision for building an AI-ready enterprise — without risky migrations or operational disruption. As organizations race to adopt AI and modern analytics, the true bottleneck isn’t infrastructure. It’s access to trusted enterprise data. Jeanne unpacks the architectural shift toward real-time data access, hybrid cloud execution, elastic storage modernization, and incremental transformation — revealing how forward-thinking CIOs are turning legacy platforms into engines of innovation. Modernization is no longer a migration project. It’s a data strategy.
