AI assistants have changed how people work everywhere. Now they can connect directly to B2B networks. A new open standard, MCP, lets AI assistants query live operational data directly and interactively. This session explores MCP and what it means for operations teams, platform builders, and integrators who can now interact with B2B communications right in their AI chat.
Jim Lewis, Founder & CEO, Enhanced Retail Solutions LLC
Many companies know they should be doing something with AI but really don’t know what to do. They don’t want to waste time and money for something that may end up being a “nice to have”. In this presentation, Jim will walk through 5 real-world use cases where AI has provided a significant improvement in decision making capability. From improved forecasting accuracy to creating an AI Chat agent for designers, the advantages of integrating AI are abundantly clear. While the examples are in the retail-wholesale arena, the approach is applicable to just about any business.
