Industry insights, AI innovation, and what’s next for Sphera’s Master Data Management for MRO

Watch this on-demand webinar to explore key findings from Sphera’s 2026 MRO market survey and discover why trusted MRO master data is the foundation for stronger supply chain performance, optimized inventory, improved maintenance execution, and successful AI initiatives.

Our research found that more than 80% of industrial organizations carry between $5 million and $50 million in excess MRO inventory, while many continue to struggle with procurement inefficiencies, maintenance delays, and underperforming AI initiatives. We unpack what these findings mean for MRO leaders and show how better data reduces costs, boosts productivity, and accelerates AI readiness.

You’ll also get a first look at Sphera’s Data Governance AI Agent, with a demonstration of how it automates MRO data governance, reduces manual effort, improves data quality, and speeds up procurement, inventory, and maintenance decisions. We close with a look at what’s next for Sphera MDM for MRO, including upcoming AI innovations and our vision for the future of AI-powered MRO data management.
