Intelligent Networks and AI survey

• Great response rate (65 respondents) with good cross organization representation

• High % of respondents looking to do something in the next 12 months. Many still in pilot stage.

• @Beth Cohen would like a workshop on initial findings and discussion- Would like to understand what they are thinking with regard to deployment methodology - that was a little fuzzy from the survey. Need to dig into that more. Workshop would be dialogue, not just sharing the survey results.

• LFN use of the survey as part of marketing collateral - @Brandon Wick No specific time driver at the moment but would like to see this shared as a webinar in addition to the white paper that is already planned. Would like to do that in the 1st part of the year.
