Large, knowledge-rich, regulated enterprises can turn scattered, fragmented data into trusted decisions, fast today, scalable tomorrow, so teams ship work sooner, reduce risk, and prove ROI with human-centric, contextual AI. 

Hear from organizations — our customers — on how they’re creating trustworthy, accurate, and cost-effective AI applications and business insight engines with the Progress Data Platform for AI.

Discover how to build enterprise-ready AI systems with insights from Progress experts — developers, engineers, and knowledge managers — who will share proven strategies and best practices for success.


AI leaders are under pressure to turn unstructured content into measurable outcomes quickly. But most DIY RAG projects stall in the messy middle: connectors, security, data governance, evaluation, and ongoing MLOps. On top of that, the technical stack is getting more complex - moving from basic RAG to Agentic RAG and now Model Context Protocols (MCPs) that broker connections to enterprise systems. In this session, we’ll compare internal “build” paths with Agentic RAG-as-a-Service, showing how a managed, modular stack accelerates time-to-value and de-risks production.

We’ll demystify the core components, covering what RAG is beyond the buzzwords, how Agentic RAG extends it with agents and workflows, and where MCPs fit into the architecture. From there, we’ll have a pragmatic build-vs-buy discussion, then look at how Agentic RAG moves from ingestion to verifiable, explainable answers with evaluation and governance baked in, so you can scale confidently.

Topics will include:
Why DIY RAG stalls AI projects time and time again
What are the building blocks of a RAG implementation and how do they fit together
The pros and cons of “build or buy” RAG
What RAG-as-a-Service actually delivers

Build vs. Buy for Enterprise RAG: The TCO, Risk & Speed Case for Agentic RAG-as-a-Service

Innovation and research go hand in hand, and staying ahead in R&D requires the right tools. Generative AI is transforming the field, opening up new possibilities and applications.

Leveraging AI and Future Ready Data to Accelerate R&D

Financial fraud techniques are evolving in scale and sophistication. Modern fraudsters operate across identities, devices and geographies and exploit blind spots within siloed data systems, making it increasingly difficult for analysts to rely on traditional methods to detect suspicious activity.  

With regulatory pressure mounting, tightened customer protection requirements and collaborative institutional intelligence sharing are necessary for effective fraud prevention. This is where multi-model data management and visualization offer a powerful remedy to this complexity.

Join experts from Cambridge Intelligence and Progress for a live demo of advanced data visualization. You’ll learn how to:  

-> Unify your data intelligence into a single data platform to enable real-time collaboration and secure sharing across your organization and with external partners 
-> Visualize hidden fraud networks through intuitive interfaces to enable analysts to navigate and uncover complex relationship patterns other systems miss  
-> Accelerate investigation workflows that trace suspicious activity to transform weeks of manual investigation into hours of analysis

How to Prevent Financial Fraud with Real-Time Graph Analytics
