"The first-half results" said Mario Rizzante, Chairman of Reply, "confirm a trend that in now well-established: investments in technology are increasingly focusing on AI initiatives that have a direct impact on companies’ competitiveness. Artificial intelligence has become a structural component of growth strategies and is accelerating the convergence of software, data and domain expertise. In this context, Reply has established itself by leveraging a model that combines innovation, specialisation and speed of execution.”

“Over the past few months,” continued Mario Rizzante, “we have witnessed a very profound change within companies. Artificial intelligence is not replacing people, but it is redefining the way digital systems are designed and developed, reshaping the role of software and the professionals who build it. The ability to orchestrate networks of intelligent agents, supported by increasingly specialised and contextualised models, is opening a new phase in application development and the organisation of business processes.”

"In this new landscape" concluded Mario Rizzante, “our value will be increasingly determined by our ability to design and governe intelligent ecosystems. Reply will continue to invest in this vision by developing expertise, platforms and new models. Our aim is to support companies in transforming artificial intelligence from a collection of one-off initiatives into a widespread, reliable and governable industrial capability, embedded in processes, products and decision-making.”
