Integration: The Foundation of the Connected Agentic Enterprise

The rise of AI agents is reshaping the enterprise architecture landscape. As agents move beyond experimentation and begin participating in real business processes, their effectiveness depends on their ability to securely access enterprise data, invoke business capabilities, respond to events, and coordinate work across an increasingly distributed technology landscape.

This makes integration a foundational capability for the agentic enterprise. But the integration challenge is also changing. Enterprises are no longer connecting only applications, APIs, and data. They must now connect a new ecosystem of agents, models, tools, knowledge, events, people, and existing business processes, while bridging deterministic enterprise systems with the non-deterministic nature of AI.

In this session, we’ll explore the architecture of the connected agentic enterprise and the evolving role of integration within it. We’ll examine how existing enterprise capabilities can become accessible to agents, how context and actions flow across the enterprise, and why established integration principles remain critical even as new agentic patterns emerge.

We’ll also look at how the integration platform itself must evolve to support this new landscape, establishing the foundation for AI-native integration development and for operating agents and integrations with the security, governance, and control required by the enterprise.
