EP20: The Agentic Enterprise

In this episode, Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana and Asanka Abeysinghe are joined by WSO2 Chief AI Officer Rania Khalaf to discuss what the agentic enterprise really means. The conversation looks beyond AI pilots and explores the architectural foundations needed to make agents practical at enterprise scale. Topics include agents as first-class actors, the platform capabilities required to support them, and why identity, policy, observability, and audit matter in an agentic world. The episode closes with a practical view of what architects should start doing now.🔥 Key topics covered: What an agentic enterprise actually meansAgents as first-class actors in the enterpriseWhy AI pilots don’t scale without architectural foundationsThe platform foundations needed to support agents at scale ○ APIs, Integration, Identity ○ Data (KBs, context graphs, data lakes) ○ Agent control plane Identity, policy, observability, and audit in an agentic world What architects should do nowAdditional reading: https://wso2.com/library/blogs/agentic-enterprise-with-wso2/HostsSanjiva WeerawaranaLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanjivaweerawarana/Twitter: @sanjivaMedium: https://medium.com/@sanjiva.weerawaranaAsanka AbeysingheLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/asankaabeysingheTwitter: @asankamaBlog: https://blog.architect2architect.com/Medium: https://asankama.medium.com/Rania KhalafLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raniakhalaf/
