GAIC November AI Monthly Workshop
GAIC November AI Monthly Workshop:
From System of Record to System of Intelligence
Moving beyond traditional CRM to intelligent, AI-powered business systems.
Join the Gauteng AI Community (GAIC) in partnership with Clarify for our October AI Monthly Workshop as we explore how businesses can move from traditional systems of record to systems of intelligence.
As AI transforms how teams work, simply adding AI features to existing software may not be enough. We'll examine what it takes to build systems that automatically capture information, adapt to business needs, and help teams make smarter decisions.
About the Event
Traditional CRM systems rely heavily on manual data entry, leaving teams with incomplete records, fragmented information, and missed opportunities. The next generation of business software is moving toward systems that capture information automatically and turn it into actionable intelligence.
In this session, we'll explore the architectural differences between traditional systems of record and modern systems of intelligence, what meaningful AI integration looks like, and how businesses can evaluate whether their existing tools are ready for this shift.
Together with Clarify, we'll discuss what this transition means for go-to-market (GTM) teams and businesses preparing for the next phase of AI adoption.
What We'll Discuss
The Problem with Manual Data Entry — Why manual data entry remains a major failure point in legacy CRM systems, and what automatic data capture requires beyond basic integrations.
Real AI vs. AI Add-ons — What separates genuinely adaptive intelligence from generic AI features bolted onto existing software.
Systems of Record vs. Systems of Intelligence — How these two approaches differ and what the distinction means for modern business operations.
Evaluating Your CRM — How GTM teams can assess whether their CRM simply stores information or actively helps teams understand, act, and make better decisions.
The Future of Business Software — Why this shift could become a competitive advantage for businesses over the next three years.
