OpenText and Google target the data layer gap holding back enterprise agentic AI

Organizations racing to deploy agentic AI are discovering that raw model performance is only part of the equation — context engineering is the key to managing decades of unstructured, ungoverned data trapped inside legacy information management systems. As Google Cloud Next 2026 signals a complete pivot toward the agentic enterprise, the deeper question for IT leaders ...

In the enterprise AI race, who is leading and who is just reacting?

Enterprise AI scaling is accelerating as organizations shift from experimentation to full deployment, embedding intelligence into core workflows. At the same time, agentic systems are driving a broader move toward AI-native operating models. With operating models under pressure from every direction, the question is which enterprises are driving that change and which are simply reacting ...

Stop experimenting, start deploying: Kyndryl’s blueprint for enterprise AI at scale

Enterprise IT is shifting from AI experimentation to enterprise AI enablement, pushing companies to modernize systems and unlock data value. At the same time, cloud-first strategies and evolving governance are reshaping how organizations stay competitive. This next moment for AI is focused on real-world deployment, changing the question from “what to do” to “how to do ...

SUSE sees open architectures redefining resilience and digital sovereignty

Resilience and digital sovereignty are emerging as defining priorities in enterprise IT amid rising multicloud complexity and AI adoption. In response, organizations are betting on open, modular architectures and partner ecosystems to reclaim flexibility and control. Resilience is often tied to sovereignty and security. That link can create a tendency to think systems need to ...

Crossing the ‘production chasm’ is now enterprise AI’s defining test

Enterprise AI is moving fast, but not fast enough to outrun the governance blind spots that are quietly undermining the rush from controlled pilots to at-scale production. With one in five organizations reporting a breach tied to shadow AI and only 37% having policies in place to manage or detect it, the governance gap has ...

Proprietary lock-in is holding back enterprise AI ambition, says SUSE CEO

As enterprises race to adopt AI without sacrificing control or flexibility, open-source infrastructure is the stable foundation that enables organizations to modernize while maintaining full digital sovereignty. The promise of cloud computing was flexibility — but for many enterprises, years of deepening proprietary dependencies have quietly turned that flexibility into a constraint. That is a ...

From cloud-first to control-first: theCUBE’s SUSECON keynote analysis

Multicloud resilience is no longer a buzzword. As enterprises wrestle with surging AI adoption and mounting compliance pressures, digital sovereignty has become the new battleground for control over infrastructure and data. That conversation was a top agenda item at SUSECON, where resilience, multicloud choice and AI all emerged as key forces shaping enterprise IT. Open-source infrastructure ...

Most agentic AI initiatives are stalling, and the reason has nothing to do with the tech stack

Agentic AI orchestration has become the engine of enterprise AI success, but technology alone won’t get it there. The real differentiator is business-led execution that ties AI workflows directly to outcomes, building on existing systems rather than replacing them. Agentic AI demands coordination across business departments and units. But many failures come from focusing too much on ...

Data-driven tools are turning the tide in the fight against human trafficking

Fragmented anti-trafficking efforts across the U.S. are leaving communities without the complete picture they need to protect vulnerable populations. But as AI and advanced data-driven tools mature, organizations working to end human trafficking now have an opportunity to convert that scattered data into coordinated action. For more than 15 years, Qlik Technologies Inc. has partnered ...

Distributed AI is putting real-time data replication at the core of enterprise infrastructure

As enterprises push to eliminate latency and guarantee continuous availability, distributed multicloud architectures have become the foundation of a new data reality. In this new world, AI is mission-critical for large organizations and the data they process. Sustaining it requires strong transaction support, consistent data and the ability to deliver inferencing power at the edge, ...
