Gartner predicts that over 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027. Despite growing enterprise investment and promising pilot results, many initiatives struggle to scale, due to escalating costs, unclear value realization or inadequate risk controls. The result? Technical debt, fragmented architectures, and limited business impact.
This webinar is designed to help IT and AI leaders avoid those pitfalls by understanding the critical aspects of a successful Agentic AI ecosystem. You’ll gain insight into how to build systems that are scalable, interoperable with your existing tech stack, and optimized for value realization across the enterprise.

This session will offer a clear, end-to-end blueprint of what a winning Agentic AI Architecture looks like, equipping you with the insight and practical guidance to translate your agentic vision into enterprise-grade execution.

What we’ll cover:
-Key shifts in Enterprise AI Adoption
-Why Agentic AI Projects Fail: Lessons from the Field
-The Blueprint for Enterprise-Ready Agent Architecture

What you’ll learn:
Learn how to design enterprise-grade agentic systems that are scalable, interoperable, and drive measurable business outcomes.

Scaling with Confidence: The Agentic AI Blueprint for Enterprises

Gain actionable insights on AI agent performance with an AI analytics dashboard walkthrough and practical examples of improving efficiency and reducing costs.

From Agentic AI Insights to Action: AI Analytics for AI Monitoring & Optimization

Agentic AI promises a new frontier in enterprise automation where AI agents can make decisions, perform tasks, and improve over time. But hype has outpaced clarity. Many organizations conflate basic copilots with true agentic systems and stall when asked to move beyond pilots to production. The truth is: not every use case needs a fully autonomous agent. For most, the smart path lies in adopting ‘agent-ish’ systems, where agentic capabilities are embedded into structured flows and orchestration logic. As maturity grows, so do the stakes: integration, governance, ROI alignment, and platform choices get harder, not easier. Join guest speaker, Forrester Principal Analyst, Leslie Joseph, and Murali Raghuram, SVP Product Management at Kore.AI, as they cut through the confusion and offer a pragmatic guide to navigating the agentic AI landscape without falling for the buzzwords.

In this webinar, you will learn:
-How to distinguish copilots, agent-ish systems, and true AI agents
-When full autonomy helps—and when it hurts
-How to roadmap agentic adoption with business value in mind
