ROI demands disciplined data foundations for the agentic AI stack
Artificial intelligence is well into its prove-it phase, and the agentic AI stack is the new system for task-driven agents that ship, scale and pay back. The enterprises looking beyond the headlines are instead standardizing on measurable outcomes. Bigger models alone won’t close the gap between demos and dividends. Instead, real progress comes when reliable, ...
Forget the chip wars: Scalable intelligence is the real metric for AI factories
Artificial intelligence might be the headline, but scalable intelligence is the story. Enterprises today want more than just increasingly-complex algorithms powered by faster chips. Instead, they are searching for systems that deliver reliable outcomes, drawing from the torrent of data now expected to shape core business decisions. This is where the conversation about AI factories comes ...
Turning AI into ROI: Inside the demand for process orchestration
As enterprises outgrow fragmented systems, process orchestration is stepping in as the connective layer — aligning automation with human strategy and delivering measurable return on investment. The enterprises that are enjoying the most success are the ones with the map, not the tools. Process orchestration models the end-to-end flow and lets teams slot in bots, ...
AI agents in finance signal a final reckoning for manual audits
Artificial intelligence might be closing the book on traditional auditing, as AI agents in finance are turning manual spot checks into full-population assurance that scales with complexity without sacrificing oversight. Across enterprise operations, the industry is moving away from task-level scripts and toward outcome-first agents that can compare contracts with billing, reason over exceptions and ...
Premises to perimeter: Hybrid cloud AI braces for a new wave of threats
Now grounded as a core enterprise concern, artificial intelligence is shifting to hybrid cloud AI strategies, forcing firms to reconsider the best pathways to secure models, data and application programming interfaces. In this context, hybrid cloud AI adoption is rewriting the economics of security. As generative and agentic systems scale, the mix of platforms and ...
Stop the science fair: AI outcomes are now in a race to prove their worth
Artificial intelligence is leaving behind the era of flashy demos. In their place, organizations are demanding AI outcomes that deliver a measurable return on investment. As the industry reckons with the question on whether AI deployment is truly delivering bang for its costly buck, enterprises are reconsidering their outlooks. But whether or not this change in ...
Automation reaches the classroom: How agentic AI is redefining operational efficiency
Automation and operational efficiency are drawing the dividing line between companies that accelerate and those that idle. The organizations seeing real returns aren’t just deploying artificial intelligence — they’re stripping friction out from manual workflows and allowing machines to make structured decisions at scale. While education isn’t often seen as an automation proving ground, it ...
Neocloud strategies reshape the future of compute efficiency
As enterprises push into next-generation computing, the old rules of cloud no longer apply. In their place comes what has been dubbed the neocloud, a specialized layer of infrastructure built for scale and security, engineered to handle workloads well beyond yesterday’s limits. At the core of an ever-demanding infrastructure market is a divide. Training massive artificial ...
Agentic security reshapes risk as AI agents enter the workforce
Artificial intelligence is entering the workforce, raising a new question: Who protects AI agents? For that, agentic security could well be the answer. If traditional human-centric security is focused on protecting people, their devices and their data, agentic security extends that model to digital counterparts. And human-centric models alone are no longer sufficient, according to ...
AI takes the wheel as digital accessibility deadlines speed closer – HPE and SHI weigh in
Digital accessibility has long been treated as a compliance checkbox. But for government agencies, it’s rapidly becoming something else entirely: a test of public trust. What’s at stake is clear: Too many agencies continue to see compliance as a single audit instead of an ongoing responsibility. Without future-conscious solutions the problem is twofold: Millions lose access ...
