Are the Agile & SaaS Models Dead with the Rise of Agentic AI? (#15)
In this episode of The Next Frontiers of AI, we’re joined by Arun Varadarajan, CRO of Ascendion, to explore a provocative question reshaping the future of software engineering and the software marketplace: Is Agile development dead? And as a result, will the SaaS model become a relic of the past? As AI agents begin to play an active role, not just assisting but actually engineering software, will Agentic AI-driven software engineering become the norm? And when? Arun discusses why traditional methodologies like Agile, which were built for human-centric development cycles, are giving way to a new model that is faster, leaner, and increasingly autonomous.
281 | Breaking Analysis | Ali Ghodsi’s Data Intelligence Playbook: Turning Data into Agentic Advantage
In last week’s Breaking Analysis we argued that Snowflake was attempting to cross the Rubicon, vaulting from cloud data warehouse innovator into AI leader and intelligent application platform. This week the competitive fire got a fresh accelerant. As usual, Databricks followed up Snowflake Summit and put forth bold claims of its own, emphasizing unified governance, data intelligence, simplified user experiences, transactional capabilities and, of course, open data.
Why Service Partners Are the Backbone of Modern App Dev
Open source adoption and app modernization require expert support. Learn why service partners like Adfinis are critical for scalable, secure, and future-ready app development strategies.
Agentic AI – What is Hype, Myth, and Truth (#14)
In one of our most clarifying episodes yet, we sit down with Satya Nitta—renowned AI innovator and CEO of Emergence AI—to separate fact from fiction in today’s rapidly evolving Agentic AI landscape. The enterprise world is awash in buzzwords, bold claims, and conflicting narratives, from predictive, generative, and agentic AI, onward to an AGI future. It’s never been harder to know what matters—and what doesn’t. Satya helps us decode the signal from the noise. He shares what agentic AI really is (and isn’t), how enterprises should think beyond AI assistants to intelligent systems that can reason, act, and collaborate, and where the real frontiers lie.
Breaking Analysis | A New Cisco for the Agentic-AI Era — Ambition, Innovation and the Burden of Proof – Cisco Live 2025
Cisco hasn’t enjoyed much organic revenue growth in more than a decade. It just rolled into San Diego claiming this year’s Cisco Live is the “most consequential” event in the company’s history. Hyperbole? Maybe. But after three days on-site comprising Q&A with Chuck Robbins and Jeetu Patel, closed-door roadmap dives, and a flood of product reveals in public, our assessment is that Cisco finally has a credible, end-to-end story for the AI era.
