SESSION
Andres Ramirez
Senior Director, Architecture & Enablement Strategy
New agentic frameworks seem to emerge every week, fueling rapid innovation—but also chaos. As organizations rush to experiment, agent sprawl becomes inevitable unless there's a way to bring structure and control. The answer lies in a centralized, enterprise-grade MCP (Model Context Protocol) layer that unifies orchestration and governance. In an ecosystem where even small errors can have outsized consequences, mission-critical automation demands more than experimentation—it demands reliability.
Learn how robust orchestration and deterministic business logic empower enterprises to balance risk, scale confidently, and capture the full promise of Agentic AI.
