Igniting Enterprise Truth: Activating Core Data for the Agentic AI Era

Agentic AI is no longer a model conversation. It is an enterprise data architecture decision.

According to IDC research, only 24% of organizations describe their data as ‘highly prepared’ to support generative and agentic AI workloads, and 47% identify a consistent semantic layer as critical for safe AI. 42% cite data duplication and fragmentation as the #1 issue holding agentic AI back. At the same time, 80%+ of enterprises now say ‘AI agents are the new enterprise apps,’ triggering a reconsideration of investments in packaged applications, and 76% expect to consolidate enterprise application suppliers as agents reshape the workflow layer.

The operative question for senior IT, Data, and Application leaders is no longer whether agents will act on enterprise data, but whether your ERP, CRM, and supply-chain data — and the governance around it — are ready when they do.

IDC, Google Cloud, and Oracle will convene a curated group of CIOs, CDOs, and Heads of Data Platforms and Enterprise Applications for an invitation-only executive forum, sharing intelligence, challenging assumptions, and leaving with a clearer path forward.
