Over breakfast, Zones will share the story behind some impressive results, including how a new Azure-based platform allowed the business to scale customer integrations by 10X and helped generate $16M in additional revenue as Zones rolled out Microsoft D365.
Now, they’re building on that foundation with agentic AI, exploring how agents can accelerate order processing and customer onboarding and thereby dramatically cut the time it takes from quote to cash. We’ll get into what they’re learning as they move from pilots toward production, and what it takes to turn AI investment into real business value at scale.
