In this episode, Nathaniel Whittemore is joined by Danielle Beringer, Principal, Advisory – Data Modernization at KPMG LLP, and Ellery Fisher, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer at McKesson Medical-Surgical, to unpack why enterprise AI success depends on more than better data. The conversation explores the shift from treating AI as a data problem to understanding it as a systems challenge — one that requires modernizing legacy infrastructure, connecting real-time and batch systems, prioritizing the right use cases, and building the business-led operating model needed to turn agentic AI from a promising demo into real enterprise value.
