In today’s digital-first economy, the promise of artificial intelligence (AI) is undeniable. Yet, for many organizations, the journey to scalable, effective AI is stalled by legacy data systems—fragmented, siloed, and ill-equipped to support the demands of modern analytics and intelligent automation. At Publicis Sapient, we believe that true digital transformation begins with data modernization. By moving from outdated infrastructures to cloud-native, AI-ready architectures, enterprises can unlock new value, agility, and growth.
Legacy data environments are a significant barrier to innovation. Outdated architectures, inconsistent data quality, and limited scalability result in slow insight delivery, high operational costs, and an inability to harness the full potential of AI. For CIOs, CTOs, and data leaders, the mandate is clear: modernize data infrastructure to enable real-time decision-making, personalized customer experiences, and rapid innovation cycles.
However, modernization is more than a technical upgrade. It’s a strategic transformation that requires reimagining data governance, integrating disparate sources, and building a foundation that supports both current and future AI use cases. The stakes are high, but so are the rewards for those who get it right.
At the heart of Publicis Sapient’s success is our SPEED model—Strategy, Product, Experience, Engineering, and Data & AI. This integrated framework ensures that every data modernization initiative is:
Modernizing data infrastructure is inseparable from cloud transformation. Our partnerships with leading cloud providers—including AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud—enable clients to migrate and manage data at scale, unlocking the flexibility and power required for AI-driven innovation. Industry cloud solutions further accelerate this journey, providing tailored platforms that address sector-specific challenges in financial services, retail, energy, and beyond.
A modern data platform is only as strong as its governance. As organizations handle increasing volumes of sensitive data, robust governance frameworks are essential for ensuring data quality, security, and regulatory compliance. Publicis Sapient embeds governance and security at every stage, leveraging automated controls, zero-trust principles, and continuous monitoring to protect data and maintain compliance with evolving regulations. This approach not only mitigates risk but also builds the trust required to scale AI initiatives across the enterprise.
With a modern data foundation in place, organizations can move beyond descriptive analytics to predictive and generative intelligence. Publicis Sapient’s AI solutions—such as the enterprise-scale Bodhi platform and Sapient Slingshot for software development—empower businesses to automate workflows, personalize customer interactions, and drive operational efficiencies. These platforms are designed for speed, scale, and security, ensuring that AI initiatives move from prototype to production seamlessly.
