Orchestration and Data Management Must Work In Unison To Enable Agentic AI

When: Wednesday, 2 December, 2026

Time: 1.00 PM to 2.00 PM GMT

Location: Virtual

Event Details

It is now well known that integration and orchestration are foundational for successful agentic AI initiatives. CIOs are leveraging traditional orchestration platforms, such as iPaaS, and emerging, specialised products, such as MCP gateways and model gateways, to enable these capabilities.

However, the data management dimension is also crucial. Data orchestration is key to prepare AI-ready data. Semantic models, ontologies and knowledge graphs provide AI agents with a homogenous understanding of enterprise data.

In this session Avi and Massimo will discuss and share examples of how the orchestration and data management dimensions must work in unison to support agentic AI initiatives that deliver business value.
