Architect to Win the Agent Age

As AI agents move from pilot to production, three tensions are surfacing across every enterprise: Complexity: teams building with different tools, vendors, and platforms, fragmenting how AI actually gets used across the business. Cost: token usage spiraling in ways that are hard to predict or control, with CIOs and FinOps teams watching usage blow past projections by 10x or 20x in a single month before the invoice arrives. And Risk: agents now touching real data and taking real actions, turning security and compliance considerations that once seemed theoretical into live, daily challenges. As agents become more autonomous and take on increasingly consequential business processes, organizations must also confront urgent questions around visibility, governance, and accountability.

Organizations sit across the full agentic maturity spectrum, from those managing dozens of agents operating across multi-vendor ecosystems to those still laying the groundwork. Every core initiative already underway - ERP consolidation, cloud migration, API modernization - is foundational to AI readiness. When siloed systems are connected and exposed as APIs today, organizations create a world where autonomous agents can discover and act on that logic tomorrow.

Join us for an interactive discussion with senior leaders to explore how organizations are navigating agent complexity across tools and vendors, getting ahead of spiraling token costs before they become a budget crisis, and putting the governance and security guardrails in place to move AI confidently from isolated pilots to a coordinated, trusted digital workforce.
