CHANDLER, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Insight Enterprises (NASDAQ:NSIT), a Fortune 500 Solutions Integrator driving client success through digital transformation, united more than 700 of its technical leaders and global industry experts in Phoenix for the company’s seventh annual Mastery conference.

“Change is constant in business. It’s especially accelerated from a technology perspective as monumental breakthroughs are happening now around artificial intelligence.

Moving faster on realizing value through innovation is core to Insight’s work in creating accelerator tools that exercise the art of the possible. The SnapStart discovery engine quickly maps an organization’s data estate for infrastructure modernization. Repeatable frameworks like Insight Lens for Gen AI allow clients to quickly and securely stand up generative AI, exploring opportunities like AI-infused applications for mobile devices and augmented reality that put key information instantly to work for front-line workers.
