Perfecting AI: 5 Strategies for IT Implementation Success
As businesses accelerate their adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), strategic implementation has become critical to realising its full potential. The BCG AI Radar 2025 survey reveals a significant trend: one in three companies globally plans to invest over $25 million in AI technologies this momentum is echoed in the latest SAP Concur CFO Insights survey, which found that 58% of finance leaders—particularly those overseeing travel and expense (T&E) functions—intend to invest in AI in 2025, underscoring the need for skilled and deliberate are five steps for IT teams to ensure successful AI deployment:1. Set Clear Objectives from the StartSuccessful AI implementation begins with purposeful planning. Rushing to adopt the latest technology without a clear plan often leads to wasted resources and unmet leaders should collaborate across departments to define compelling business cases for each AI initiative. Aligning these projects with organisational goals, forecasting future developments, and identifying specific use cases ensures that selected tools serve real business key performance indicators (KPIs)—such as accuracy gains, cost reductions, or time savings—helps quantify success. The right AI solution should support existing strategies, comply with regulatory requirements, and integrate securely within current systems.2. Adopt a Phased Implementation ApproachA phased, structured rollout reduces risk and improves outcomes. The early stages of AI deployment can be complex, so taking a measured approach allows for technical stability and employee with a focused pilot project in a high-impact area—such as audit or compliance—before scaling up. This allows teams to gather feedback, refine processes, and build internal adoption helps avoid the pitfalls of hasty, organisation-wide deployments and ensures that employees have the time and support to adjust to new AI-enhanced workflows.3. Centralise and Optimise Data ResourcesAI thrives on quality data. Disconnected systems and fragmented data silos can severely limit the effectiveness of even the most advanced lay a strong foundation, IT teams should implement comprehensive data integration tactics. Whether through data lakes, warehouses, or virtualisation layers, creating unified data environments enables accurate insights and reliable centralising data requires effort, the payoff is significant. Consolidating sources, eliminating redundancies, and applying appropriate access controls create ideal conditions for scalable AI success.4. Support and Upskill EmployeesEven as AI adoption accelerates, employee concerns persist. Deloitte research shows that 28% of workers worry that technology may replace their transparent communication is essential. Involve employees from the outset and position AI as a tool that enhances—not replaces—their work. This builds trust and helps ease also presents opportunities for upskilling and professional growth. Organisations should invest in training and empower internal champions to model adoption and share practical benefits across teams.5. Lead Through Cross-Functional CollaborationAI transformation cannot be confined to the IT department. According to SAP Concur research, 37% of senior decision-makers believe AI-powered T&E solutions could ease pressure on IT support is key. The SAP Concur 2025 CFO Insights reveals that 54% of IT leaders want to partner more closely with finance teams on digital implementations must support broader organisational goals. By building collaborative frameworks with finance, sales, operations, and beyond, IT leaders can ensure alignment, accelerate adoption, and maximise the return on AI investment. With thoughtful planning, robust data foundations, and cross-functional leadership, IT teams can drive transformative AI adoption—unlocking efficiencies, strengthening decision-making, and delivering long-term business value.

Canon, Coral Spawning Lab, and Nature Seychelles Team Up to Regenerate Coral Reefs
Canon EMEA is partnering with Nature Seychelles, a leading non-profit organisation in the Western Indian Ocean, and the Coral Spawning Lab (CSL), to lead a first-of-its-kind project designed to safeguard the Seychelles' vital marine ecosystems. The project aims to restore and protect coral reefs against climate change by embracing a new method of coral regeneration in the will provide investment to Nature Seychelles for the construction and operation of a coral breeding facility as well as Canon imaging equipment to enhance observation and documentation of coral spawning, to be used in citizen science, and for education and awareness. Canon's equipment will allow researchers to witness coral spawning events in detail previously not seen will be the first of its kind in the region and will enhance Nature Seychelles' new Assisted Recovery of Corals (ARC) facility, a land-based coral aquaculture facility aimed at boosting coral restoration efforts to save reefs from the impacts of climate support from Canon and CSL, Nature Seychelles will develop a deeper understanding of coral reproductive timing, post-settlement growth, and survival. The technology provided will also facilitate photomicrography, photogrammetry, and the production of high-quality imagery and videos for new cutting-edge coral breeding facility will create a genetic bank of resilient coral and document the process like never before. It will be built by CSL – a UK-based team of researchers that work to better understand the life cycles of reefs to equip communities with the information they need to regenerate coral ecosystems. CSL will also provide training in Seychelles to operate the reef restoration in the Seychelles has traditionally relied on the 'coral gardening' technique where coral fragments are selected from existing reefs and grown in nurseries, before being transplanted back into degraded areas. However, given this process results in a reef populated by genetically identical corals, the technique falls short of creating corals that can routinely withstand the events that degrade them; for example, coral bleaching events, where stress triggered by rising ocean temperatures causes damage to their tissue. The lack of genetic diversity within gardened reefs is a critical weakness, rendering the technique only a temporary fix rather than a long-term solution for improving reef health and resiliency in the region."Currently, we're essentially cloning corals, creating reefs of genetically identical species," explains Dr Nirmal Shah, CEO of Nature Seychelles. "Evolution thrives on diversity – the strong, the weak, the healthy, and everything in between. To build truly resilient reefs, we need to embrace true diversity. Canon's partnership, alongside Coral Spawning Lab's expertise allows us to do just that, by enabling us to breed corals and create a genetic bank of resilient species. Canon's technology will also allow us to unlock the secrets of coral reproduction, leading to more effective conservation strategies and, ultimately, inspiring true change in how we protect and regenerate these vital ecosystems."Canon's support is part of its broader commitment to environmental sustainability and using its imaging technology from cameras to satellites to further enable conservation coral reefs are crucial for the Seychelles' tourism, fisheries, coastal protection, and biodiversity – and this partnership supports a more sustainable future for the slands."Coral reefs are the foundation of our economy, our environment, and our way of life," says Dr. Shah. "This partnership with Canon is not just about restoring reefs; it's about safeguarding the future of the Seychelles."Dr Jamie Craggs, marine biologist and co-founder of the Coral Spawning Lab, says: "The Coral Spawning Lab has always pushed the boundaries of coral reproductive science. This partnership with Canon and Nature Seychelles allows us to continue that tradition of innovation, combining our expertise with their cutting-edge imaging technology to develop new and more effective approaches to coral conservation. Working together, we can raise awareness about the urgent need for conservation with a broader audience. As a former underwater cameraman, I know the power of imagery to communicate complex scientific concepts and inspire action. By partnering with Canon, we can share the beauty and fragility of coral reefs with the world.' Peter Bragg, Sustainability and Government Affairs Director at Canon EMEA, says "Our partnership with Nature Seychelles and the Coral Spawning Lab in this innovative effort to protect the Seychelles' vital coral reefs, demonstrates our commitment to biodiversity. The power of our imaging technology and expertise can play a significant role in building a more sustainable future for small island nations facing the challenges of climate change. By providing the tools to see, understand, and share the story of coral reefs, we hope to empower communities and raise awareness to protect these vital ecosystems for generations to come."
