We are witnessing a fundamental shift in enterprise architecture. Over the last decade, a major objective of architectural initiatives has been to automate workflows and gain efficiency. Today, that goal has moved, and we have entered the era of the Agentic Enterprise. In this new reality, it is no longer sufficient to have hard-coded business logic on top of a database. By supplementing, replacing, or integrating these workflows with intelligent, autonomous agents, businesses are gaining additional efficiencies. These agents are now capable of reasoning, making decisions, and taking action. Why agentic architectures need more data awareness These actions are entirely dependent on the quality and depth of the data available.
