Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how businesses operate, but the impact goes far beyond applications and algorithms. In the AI era, enterprise connectivity must be permanently available, highly secure, and compliant with growing demands around data sovereignty. Expereo delivers enterprise connectivity as AI accelerates, offering ‘visibility at the speed of life’—a shift that reflects how critical the network has become to modern digital operations.
Why Speed Alone Is No Longer Enough
While performance has always mattered, speed by itself no longer defines a capable network. According to Julian Skeels, Chief Digital Officer at Expereo, what organizations truly need is certainty. AI workloads are distributed across environments, run continuously, and are extremely sensitive to latency. Functions such as inference, monitoring, retrieval, and automated remediation never pause, fundamentally changing the role of the network.
In this environment, the network becomes a core system dependency. Any degradation is felt instantly by applications and users alike. An AI-ready network must ensure deterministic data movement—not just fast, but predictable, observable, governable, and resilient, even as conditions constantly change.
The Visibility Gap Facing CIOs
Despite massive investments, many CIOs today face what Skeels describes as “connectivity everywhere, but visibility nowhere.” Enterprises are juggling hybrid infrastructures, multiple cloud environments, and numerous service providers, each with its own portal and management layer. The result is operational friction that drains IT teams.
What leaders are really seeking is clarity and control, not another layer of tools. They want a way to understand how their networks are performing, where risks exist, and how connectivity decisions impact business outcomes.
Transforming a Historically Slow Industry
Skeels joined Expereo last year, bringing extensive experience in product innovation and digital transformation across industries. What he found was a sector primed for disruption. Global connectivity, he observed, has long resisted meaningful digital transformation, often remaining slow, manual, opaque, and fragmented across dozens of providers.
Expereo’s ambition is to change that reality. With advances such as agentic AI, the company believes global connectivity can finally become simple, fast, and transparent—more like cloud computing, where provisioning happens in minutes rather than weeks.
Visibility at the Speed of Life
Delivering this transformation requires more than raw performance; it demands real-time insight and proactive control. This is where the expereoOne platform plays a central role. Designed to provide a single, global view of network deployments, performance, and costs, it embodies the idea of “visibility at the speed of life.”
Beyond visibility, the platform enables deeper integration with customers’ order management systems, IT service management tools, and ERP platforms. This allows enterprises to manage connectivity at scale without friction. Crucially, the goal is not to overwhelm teams with dashboards, but to connect network behavior directly to business outcomes—resilience, security, user experience, and cost efficiency.
Rethinking Networks for an AI-First World
Skeels will be sharing these insights at the Digital Transformation Expo Global on February 4–5, where his session on designing AI-ready networks aims to challenge conventional thinking. In an AI-driven world, many long-held assumptions about networking no longer apply.
As enterprises adapt to continuous AI workloads and distributed architectures, Expereo delivers enterprise connectivity as AI accelerates, offering ‘visibility at the speed of life’, helping organizations move from reactive network management to a model built on certainty, transparency, and business-aligned outcomes.
