Overview
The Problem
Your .NET applications are stuck. Your SQL Server databases are expensive. Your competitors are already modernizing. And now, with AI reshaping every industry, the cost of standing still just got higher.
The Opportunity
AI doesn't run on legacy. Enterprises that modernize their .NET workloads and database estates today will be the ones deploying Agentic AI tomorrow — autonomous systems that don't just answer questions, but execute entire business workflows.
This half-day executive event brings together AWS, SoftwareOne, and real customer voices to give Philippine enterprise leaders one thing: a clear, executable path from legacy .NET and SQL Server to modern, AI-ready architecture.
What's On The Table
AI-Driven Modernization: A Defining Moment for PH Enterprises
Why the convergence of Microsoft licensing changes, SQL Server end-of-support, and the rise of Agentic AI makes 2026 the year to act — not plan.
Transform Your Data Estate for Agentic AI
Your journey to agentic AI begins with unlocking your most valuable asset – the data. Learn how to quickly migrate and modernize your SQL Server estate into AWS, where AI agents at scale live, and unlock the rapid innovation that will transform how you operate, compete, and serve your customers.
How to Execute a Successful Modernization Initiative
No slides about “journeys.” SoftwareOne breaks down the actual solutions, strategy, and execution approach that gets .NET and database workloads off legacy and into production on AWS.
Voice of a Tech Leader
An IT leader will share how their organization turned modernization into a strategic advantage for growth and customer excellence.
Who This Is For

-
Running .NET Framework applications on-premises or on VMware
-
Managing SQL Server estates with rising licensing costs and looming end-of-support
-
Evaluating how to make their application and data stack AI-ready
-
Looking for a partner-led approach that de-risks execution
