Moving analytics from a transactional database to a column store is a good decision that gets scoped as a data project and paid for as an application project. This is about the second half.
Build went from weeks to hours. The process did not move. This is the argument behind our 8 December session on what the AI-native SDLC becomes in 2027, and who runs it.
Unlock the power of anti-fragile AI: Build intelligent systems that grow stronger with disruption, not just survive it. Explore strategies, principles, and a roadmap for deploying adaptive AI in your organization.
This article provides a practical, strategic framework for maximizing ROI from Databricks. It outlines how to avoid the mistakes many organizations make with the platform and offers a 3-pillar approach -- optimizing infrastructure, accelerating workflows, and aligning teams -- to transform Databricks from a high-cost tool into a high-impact business asset.
As these organizations explore cloud options, a key consideration is how to integrate their existing VMware environments with cloud services without undergoing extensive re-platforming. Amazon Elastic VMware Service (EVS) is designed to address this need by allowing users to run their VMware workloads natively on AWS.
This blog introduces the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a new standard for enabling seamless collaboration between AI agents by unifying how they access tools and context. It explains how MCP breaks down integration silos, supports dynamic workflows, and fits into the growing ecosystem of AI interoperability protocols—paving the way for truly intelligent, multi-agent systems.
In today's relentlessly evolving business landscape, technology has decisively shifted from a mere support function to the very engine of business strategy and competitive differentiation. The pressure is immense: deliver value faster, pivot with market dynamics, and satisfy ever-increasing customer expectations. Businesses that can harness technology effectively will lead, while those that don't risk falling behind. This is where the concept of application modernization becomes not just relevant, but critical.

AI agents are becoming practical tools that autonomously perform tasks, support decision-making, and adapt to business needs. By starting with focused, high-value use cases and ensuring strong data governance and human oversight, organizations can unlock real value while building long-term capability.
A data-centric approach to AI prioritizes improving data over tweaking models. The four pillars are data quality, data accessibility, data context and data governance. Each addresses a different way AI systems fail when the underlying data is wrong, unreachable, unexplained or ungoverned, and together they describe what has to be true before model work is worth doing.
Explore the critical differences between AI agents and RPA. Learn their strengths, limitations, and how businesses can combine both to drive intelligent, scalable, and future-ready automation strategies.
AI agents rely on a layered architecture: Data (storage & retrieval), Model (learning & decision-making), and Deployment (scalability & reliability). Developers must choose between open-source tools (flexibility) and commercial solutions (support & integration).
Key considerations include context management, prompt engineering, error handling, security, and scalability. AI agents are transforming customer service, sales, and software development, with future trends pointing toward specialized AI, proactive automation, and AI-assisted coding.
This blog provides a practical roadmap for business leaders looking to adopt AI agents to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and drive innovation. It covers key steps, including identifying opportunities for AI agents, selecting the right technology, deploying AI solutions, and ensuring long-term success through maintenance and ethical considerations. Whether you're just starting your AI journey or refining existing implementations, this guide helps businesses harness AI agents effectively while mitigating risks.
