In this series of five whitepapers, CIOs, IT leaders and executives get a panoramic view of how agentic AI is redefining industries — and what you must do to stay ahead.
Artificial intelligence is evolving fast. The shift toward Agentic AI (autonomous systems that perceive, reason, and act independently) is not just another tech trend. It’s a fundamental change in how businesses and public institutions run their operations.
The question is no longer if agentic AI will reshape industries, but how quickly.
To help leaders prepare, we’ve created a series of five industry-specific whitepapers:
- Financial Services
- Energy & Utilities
- Healthcare
- Manufacturing & Industry 4.0.
- Government & Public Sector
Each report cuts through the hype to explore concrete opportunities, risks and governance requirements, giving CIOs and IT teams the insights they need to act now and embed AI securely into their systems and workflows.
Inside the whitepaper series: A blueprint for the Agentic Era
The series delivers a clear framework for understanding and implementing agentic AI:
-
The state of automation & integration: How agentic AI changes the role of automation.
-
Emerging trends: From early pilots to Gartner’s forecast of 15% of all work decisions being AI-driven by 2028.
-
Integration as the enabler: Why AI agents can’t operate without secure, governed connections across systems.
-
Sector spotlights: Industry-specific applications, challenges, and use cases.
-
Governance and digital sovereignty: How Europe’s regulatory landscape is shaping adoption.
Together, the five reports provide a panoramic view of how agentic AI is redefining industries, and what leaders must do to stay ahead.
Financial Services: AI that protects, complies and personalizes
Banks, insurers and investment firms generate huge volumes of real-time data. Agentic AI can detect fraud in seconds, streamline compliance and deliver hyper-personalized financial services.
The challenge: ensuring every automated decision is explainable, auditable, and aligned with regulations.
