What is Board’s core vision for AI?

Our vision is to help our customers make great decisions for their

business. I think what AI has done is brought in the ability for every

business to consume large volumes of data, which historically would've been very

difficult. Number two, it has given the ability for multiple different

people that are making decisions to ask their own questions.

Because historically you had a data team, an analytics team, and they're constantly

bombarded with questions from sales teams, marketing teams, channel teams, as they

go through planning and decision-making exercises.

And there's only so much bandwidth they could do.

But again, with AI, there's just this whole personalization of analysis that

each individual user or teams that they can go out and do.

And the third piece that AI has now strengthened is just around narrative.

A lot of FP&A teams spend time figuring out what happened, and then

how do you then interpret the data and bring out the right commentary and

descriptions so that their managers can understand it, and then they updating the

executives and so on. So there's a huge amount of time spent in organizations

around that. So for us as Board, we absolutely want to embrace all of these

abilities that AI brings in and put that into our platform. Right?

And then the fourth one is agentic and autonomous, right?

And obviously the more and more you do all of this with less human

intervention or less of your teams doing it, that's again an added bonus because

you're immediately driving both speed, throughput, and velocity on your

decision-making. So we want to embrace all of that in Board.
