IBM Data, AI & Automation

IBM has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: API Management Software, Q3 2026. To us, this recognition reflects a bigger shift happening in the market: AI is changing what enterprises need from API management. As agents and AI systems become new consumers of APIs, enterprises need consistent governance, security and visibility across API and AI interactions. At IBM, we are addressing this shift with a unified approach: we bring API management, AI mediation, and enterprise-grade security together to help organizations securely expose trusted enterprise capabilities to applications and AI across hybrid environments.

Building AI agents is getting easier. Operating them on an enterprise scale is not. As organizations deploy AI agents across different frameworks, clouds, and platforms, many are encountering a new challenge: agent sprawl. Without a unified approach to governance, observability, security, and cost management, complexity can quickly outpace value. Join me, Mihai Criveti and Robert Sesink Clee on August 27 to learn how IBM watsonx Orchestrate helps organizations manage, govern, evaluate, and optimize AI agents across IBM, third-party, custom, and open-source environments from a single agentic control plane.

Only 32% of organizations have agentic AI in production despite record levels of AI investment. What's holding AI back isn't necessarily the model. It's the ability to deliver trusted, governed, real-time data when and where AI needs it. That's exactly what I'm unpacking in The Missing Ingredient for AI ROI: Trusted, Real-Time Data, an upcoming fireside chat with Sahil Thapar, Staff Infrastructure Engineer at Graphiant, exploring key findings from Confluent's 2026 Data Streaming Report. If you're responsible for data, AI, or technology strategy, this conversation will offer practical insights into the data foundations required to turn AI ambition into measurable outcomes. 📅 August 25 🔗 [https://lnkd.in/gRy4hCgY] #AI #AgenticAI #DataStreaming #DataManagement #DataStrategy #CIO #CDO #DataLeaders #Kafka #DigitalTransformation

You can't scale enterprise innovation on a fragmented data architecture. Scaling AI-ready data means closing the gap between business users and the data they need, without adding more tools or waiting weeks on a technical team. With agentic data integration in IBM watsonx․data integration, users describe what they need in natural language, and a governed pipeline gets built and deployed in minutes.
