Is the future of enterprise software a seamless dance of AI and human collaboration? In the latest episode of Breaking Analysis, Dave Vellante and George Gilbert take us down the “yellow brick road” to agentic AI—a transformative vision that promises to overhaul the landscape of enterprise applications over the next decade. From separating compute and data to leveraging innovative open table formats like Iceberg and Delta, this journey promises a radical shift away from traditional systems. The pair underscore the critical role of harmonizing data, metadata, and business logic to achieve unparalleled productivity gains.
Dave Vellante, co-CEO of SiliconANGLE Media and a seasoned figure in tech analysis, brings his vast expertise to the table, presenting agentic AI as not just a technological upgrade but a fundamental reengineering of the SaaS landscape. Yet, this isn’t merely an exercise in abstract theory. Real-world applications, like Salesforce’s Data Cloud, show the tangible benefits of unifying customer data and shared business logic. As Vellante and Gilbert illuminate, the transition isn’t going to be without its challenges, as major players like Snowflake and Databricks continue to challenge legacy giants like Oracle.
The discussion makes it clear that achieving this vision will require bridging significant technological gaps and overcoming decades of siloed business operations. But as Vellante and Gilbert suggest, those who embrace this shift toward a new software stack may well find themselves on the cutting edge of efficiency and innovation.
