Technology purchases are complex. Every organization needs to discover the pathway to elevate capital budgeting processes within their organization. Whether the current processes are centralized or decentralized budgeting we will discuss best practices for budgeting for capital asset wish lists, maintenance agreements, and annual licensing needs. Regardless of the budgeting tools used for your organization we will cover best practices to strategize for and enhance your budgeting processes to ensure the latest technology is available and annual licensing costs are not missed throughout the budget cycle. Enhancing this process is key to building a successful future for your organization.

In the rapidly evolving world where traditional analytics collide with artificial intelligence (AI) software, open-source solutions have become a game-changer, both technically and financially. Unlike most proprietary software, open-source AI enhanced software enables casino operators to freely examine the software source code, helping them to understand how the analytical and AI algorithms work, and verifying that the system aligns with their values and expectations. This level of "how does it work" transparency fosters trust and inspires confidence in AI and analytical tools while offering numerous benefits that can empower operators. This presentation will discuss the key advantages of using open-source software and demonstrate open-source software that can measure any casino guest's future behavior and the risk to a casino's potential future revenues.
