The world is awash in agents, and every enterprise vendor and large language model (LLM) provider is now agentic. At Constellation’s AI Forum DC in September 2025 and AI Forum Silicon Valley in March 2026, more than 150 AI practitioners shared many best practices and lessons learned in agentic AI deployment. These data, analytics, and AI professionals showed how they were able to achieve a real return on transformation investment (RTI) for sales, marketing, service, commerce, and advertising.
After dozens of conversations with customers, partners, and Databricks executives at this year's Data + AI Summit, I kept coming back to one question:
What do these announcements collectively tell us about where enterprise data platforms are heading?
Plenty of event recaps cover the product announcements. I’ll cover the more interesting story of the architectural direction they reveal.

Next, to coincide with the age of cloud expansion and digital explosion, we debated the issues between the CMO and CIO as IT sought stack order and data accountability while marketers craved the freedom to build in the name of personalization but unintentionally created a martech “Frankenstack”.
