00:00:00.959 --> 00:00:02.160
Introduction.
00:00:02.399 --> 00:00:04.879
Welcome to the Cognitive Computing Era.
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:08.480
We're living through another major turning point in technology.
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:16.239
The beginning of the cognitive computing era, driven by the rise of Enterprise Artificial Intelligence, EAI.
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:21.519
What started as a digital revolution has evolved into something far more dynamic.
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:29.440
A world where data doesn't just inform decisions, it influences technology to interpret, learn, and act.
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:34.159
Over the past few decades, the ground beneath the IT industry has shifted.
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:39.840
The COVID-19 pandemic forced entire economies to digitize almost overnight.
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:46.240
Cloud adoption, remote work, and automation leapt forward in months instead of years.
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:47.119
The result?
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:56.320
A completely rewired business landscape where digital infrastructure isn't just an operational layer, it's the heartbeat of the organization.
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:06.640
Not long ago, enterprise IT meant makeshift servers running in overheated closets, where one bad line of code could crash an entire system.
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:15.359
Today, those fragile setups have been replaced by hyperscale infrastructure, global, resilient, and endlessly scalable.
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:26.400
On top of that backbone, a new intelligence has emerged, Agentic Artificial Intelligence, AI, can reason, adapt, and respond in real time.
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:35.200
Work that once took teams of developers, marketers, or analysts can now be orchestrated instantly across millions of users.
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.120
Classic enterprise applications are transforming.
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:45.359
The hyperscalers are laying siege to the B2B castle with low-cost services in the cloud.
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:51.760
The moat of the castle is GUIs and workflows, configuration management of the application.
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:57.599
The wall of the castle is the historical data in the archive that is needed for training AI.
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.560
The advent of agentic AI threatens to breach both defenses.
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:08.879
This is the new inflection point, the convergence of hyperscale computing and agentic AI.
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:16.639
Hyperscalers and sovereign clouds have become the industrial grid of the digital economy, the power that runs everything else.
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:26.159
Layer AI on top, and you get a nervous system for modern business, one that doesn't just store and process data, but anticipates and acts on it.
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:30.000
For enterprises, this isn't just another wave of innovation.
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:35.759
It's a complete redefinition of how work, value, and intelligence flow.
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.319
Classic enterprise applications are changing fast to keep pace.
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:54.000
Hyperscalers like Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure are moving in on the traditional B2B stronghold, offering powerful, low-cost cloud services that rewrite the rules of the game.
00:02:54.240 --> 00:03:07.439
For years, what kept those systems safe were the things that made them hard to copy, their complex workflows, their custom interfaces, and their mountains of historical data locked deep in archives.
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:11.039
But that's exactly where the new pressure is building.
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.719
Those old defenses aren't holding the way they used to.
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:21.120
The user interfaces and configuration tools that once felt unique can now be replicated in minutes.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:31.039
And the data sitting quietly in archives, the years of transactions, interactions, and records, has become the fuel that every AI model wants to learn from.
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:40.879
Agentic AI doesn't just compete with enterprise systems, it learns from them, imitates them, and in many cases, outpaces them.
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:47.360
The real advantage now isn't in building taller walls, it's in building smarter foundations.
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:57.680
What makes an enterprise resilient today isn't the size of its software stack, but how well it governs, protects, and activates the data inside it.
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:02.400
That's where real intelligence and real differentiation begins.
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:12.240
Leaders advancing cognitive computing must balance trust and innovation, recognizing that secure, well-managed data underpins trust.
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:23.279
While AI drives progress and innovation, trusted data ensures confidence, reliability, and compliance as AI unlocks new solutions and efficiencies.
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:30.240
Without strong data governance, rapid AI advancement can compromise privacy and security.
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.680
But without innovation, progress stalls.
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:37.360
In this era, trust and innovation must be in sync.
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:51.759
Aligning robust data practices with bold AI initiatives enables organizations to responsibly harness transformative technologies, ensuring every advancement is anchored in public trust and ethical standards.
00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:00.480
Simply put, only trusted data can power truly trustworthy and effective AI.
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:09.360
Eighty-one percent of organizations have integrated Gen AI with content management to some degree.
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:15.120
AI adopters report an average cost savings of twenty-three percent annually.
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:20.319
Early adopters are already benefiting from the adoption of integrated AI.
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:29.600
The next decade will belong to the organizations that understand this shift.
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:35.759
The ones that treat data not as a byproduct of business, but as its operating system.
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:42.720
The ones that know data can't be powerful unless it's also trusted, governed, and secure.
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:49.759
AI will transform every industry, but only if it's built on a foundation strong enough to carry it.
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.040
Consider this.
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:58.879
In May 2025, Salesforce announced it would acquire Informatica for approximately 8 billion US dollars.
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:04.639
A signal event that tells us exactly where the battle lines of enterprise software are shifting.
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.040
Why did this deal make sense?
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:20.879
While Salesforce relied on external systems for their critical data, their data integration capabilities were weak, and they wanted to close the data integration gap so that AI could run on governed, contextual information.
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:33.600
Salesforce recognized that the future of AI depends on access to secure, structured, and unstructured data, the kind of data that lives deep within organizations, not out in the open web.
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:43.360
This is especially true for the training of agentic AI systems, which are expected to become the cornerstone of global enterprise productivity in the decade ahead.
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:44.879
But here's the challenge.
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:49.759
Most of the world's valuable information doesn't exist on public data sources.
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:58.560
It sits inside corporations, governments, and institutions, governed, protected, and often regulated by law.
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:10.879
Public chatbots like Chat GPT, Claude, and Perplexity have already trained on nearly everything that's freely available Reddit posts, Wikipedia pages, and other open repositories.
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:21.120
As they reach the limits of that content and attempt to learn from more specialized information, they collide with copyright, privacy, and data ownership boundaries.
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:36.959
This is proprietary data, the information organizations have sovereignty over, and it's increasingly governed by strict privacy and security regulations, from municipal and federal frameworks to global standards set by the UN and NATO.
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:43.279
In reality, more than 90% of the world's data sits behind corporate and government firewalls.
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:47.120
It's not just hard to reach, it's protected by design.
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:51.279
Gaining access requires permission, compliance, and governance.
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.720
This is where enterprise information management comes in.
00:07:54.959 --> 00:08:02.959
Document and records management systems, workflows, and rules engines that control who can see what, when, and why.
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:14.399
For Enterprise Agentic AI to evolve responsibly, it will need to learn not just from information, but within the guardrails of trust that systems like these provide.
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:25.759
When a company trains or fine-tunes its large or small language model on data it doesn't have the right to use, it's basically teaching the machine someone else's homework, and that never ends well.
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:32.240
If that data turns out to be proprietary, the fallout isn't a quick fix, it's a full reset.
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:39.360
The organization that owns it can demand the AI be untrained, which in today's world means starting from scratch.
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:42.240
You can't just pluck out one bad data source.
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:46.240
You have to roll the whole thing back to where the mistake began.
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.240
That can cost millions of dollars and months of lost time.
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:55.039
In some cases, it can take a promising AI program right off the board.
00:08:55.279 --> 00:09:03.039
In short, when it comes to governing data to train effective AI models, organizations need to measure twice and cut once.
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.120
That's why understanding data sovereignty has become mission critical.
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.559
Every organization holds something too valuable to lose.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.159
It's institutional knowledge and data, the keys to the castle.
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:16.799
It's what makes your business yours.
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:25.360
Hand that over to the wrong system or the wrong partner, and you risk watching your own information come back to you repackaged and resold.
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:30.399
Governments see that risk too, which is why they're racing to set guardrails.
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:39.840
New AI and data protection laws are on the horizon, and that'll make General Data Protection Regulation look like the opening act.
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:47.919
They'll reshape how companies store, share, and train on data, especially when personal or sensitive information is in play.
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:56.639
To get AI ready, organizations need to understand the three kinds of data sets that fuel intelligent systems and manage them responsibly.
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:10.639
One, human generated content we create every day, documents, emails, presentations, images, videos, and conversations, or what we call the living record of how an organization thinks.
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:23.440
Two, machine generated content, log files, alerts, and telemetry from IT systems, networks and security tools, the constant hum of how an organization operates.
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:32.159
Three, data that flows between organizations, transactions, supplier exchanges, and B2B integrations.
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:36.000
This is the connective tissue that keeps the economy running.
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:39.279
Organizations require sovereign data.
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:45.279
Agentic Enterprise AI needs all three data sets to function with real business context.
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:59.600
The shift ahead is from content in context to AI in context, where intelligence doesn't just process data, it understands relationships, intent, and value in order to effectively take action and learn.
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:06.639
And just like the information it learns from, AI itself must be secure, governed, and compliant.
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:15.440
Those aren't just technical standards, they're the foundation of trust that determines whether AI can be safely put to work inside the enterprise.
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:21.279
The real question isn't whether you'll share your data, it's how you'll stay in control of it.
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:27.919
True sovereignty means knowing where your data lives, who's accessing it, and how it's being used.
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.879
Not once, but continuously.
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:41.519
You need secure ways to bring generative AI, GEN AI, inside where your information already lives, inside your governed, secure systems.
00:11:41.759 --> 00:12:01.759
Let your people chat with their content, find it, summarize it, and build on it without ever breaking governance rules, and transform analytics into something you can simply ask about in plain language and safely introduce other products that carry the same intelligence into cybersecurity, application management, and beyond.
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:08.000
With secure, governed, sovereign data, you don't have to hand over your crown jewels to innovate.
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.240
You can use AI confidently.
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:16.960
Because in an era of responsible intelligence, the smartest organizations aren't the ones who feed AI the most data.
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.000
They're the ones who know which data they can trust.
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:23.200
The Path Forward: a call to leadership.
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:31.840
As we've discussed, the next era of innovation won't be led by those who move the fastest, but by those who move the most responsibly.
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:35.519
It is the intersection of trust and innovation.
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:47.919
Every executive decision, every line of code, every AI model now carries a moral dimension, because information has power, and how that power is used will define the decade ahead.
00:12:48.159 --> 00:13:05.919
This is the moment when leaders in enterprise, government, and industry will be required to treat their data and information not just as a resource, but as a responsibility, to strengthen data foundations, to embed governance into design, and to make security the default, not the exception.
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:14.879
The future of AI depends not only on how much we can automate, but on how deeply we can trust the systems and the data we build it on.
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:22.240
Across sectors, we see the same challenge emerging: the need to transform at speed without sacrificing control.
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.720
The organizations that succeed will be those that combine the courage to innovate with the discipline to govern.
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:42.000
They'll be the ones that protect privacy as fiercely as they pursue insight, that make transparency a competitive advantage, and that build enterprise AI capable not just of reasoning, but of earning trust.
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:53.279
This is where readiness meets responsibility, where digital ambition becomes accountable intelligence, and where the most transformative technologies are also guided by principle.
00:13:53.519 --> 00:14:07.759
Just as trusted data forms the bedrock and AI innovation lights the path forward, the chapters ahead will unpack data frameworks, AI governance models, and key considerations for both sovereign and non-sovereign data architectures.
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:19.440
At the end of each chapter, you'll find a Fast Five download to distill the essentials for quick reference, ensuring you're prepared to build, govern, and innovate with confidence.
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:22.799
The decade of responsible intelligence has begun.
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:28.559
Together, we can build it securely, ethically, and for the greater good.
00:00:00.959 --> 00:00:02.160

And the data sitting quietly in archives, the years of transactions, interactions, and records, has become the fuel that every AI model wants to learn from.

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:51.759
Aligning robust data practices with bold AI initiatives enables organizations to responsibly harness transformative technologies, ensuring every advancement is anchored in public trust and ethical standards.
00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:00.480
Simply put, only trusted data can power truly trustworthy and effective AI.
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:09.360
Eighty-one percent of organizations have integrated Gen AI with content management to some degree.
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:15.120
AI adopters report an average cost savings of twenty-three percent annually.
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:20.319
Early adopters are already benefiting from the adoption of integrated AI.
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:29.600
The next decade will belong to the organizations that understand this shift.
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:35.759
The ones that treat data not as a byproduct of business, but as its operating system.
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:42.720
The ones that know data can't be powerful unless it's also trusted, governed, and secure.
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:49.759
AI will transform every industry, but only if it's built on a foundation strong enough to carry it.
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:51.040
Consider this.
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:58.879
In May 2025, Salesforce announced it would acquire Informatica for approximately 8 billion US dollars.
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:04.639
A signal event that tells us exactly where the battle lines of enterprise software are shifting.
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.040
Why did this deal make sense?
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:20.879
While Salesforce relied on external systems for their critical data, their data integration capabilities were weak, and they wanted to close the data integration gap so that AI could run on governed, contextual information.
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:33.600
Salesforce recognized that the future of AI depends on access to secure, structured, and unstructured data, the kind of data that lives deep within organizations, not out in the open web.
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:43.360
This is especially true for the training of agentic AI systems, which are expected to become the cornerstone of global enterprise productivity in the decade ahead.
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:44.879
But here's the challenge.
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:49.759
Most of the world's valuable information doesn't exist on public data sources.
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:58.560
It sits inside corporations, governments, and institutions, governed, protected, and often regulated by law.
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:10.879
Public chatbots like Chat GPT, Claude, and Perplexity have already trained on nearly everything that's freely available Reddit posts, Wikipedia pages, and other open repositories.
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:21.120
As they reach the limits of that content and attempt to learn from more specialized information, they collide with copyright, privacy, and data ownership boundaries.
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:36.959
This is proprietary data, the information organizations have sovereignty over, and it's increasingly governed by strict privacy and security regulations, from municipal and federal frameworks to global standards set by the UN and NATO.
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:43.279
In reality, more than 90% of the world's data sits behind corporate and government firewalls.
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:47.120
It's not just hard to reach, it's protected by design.
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:51.279
Gaining access requires permission, compliance, and governance.
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.720
This is where enterprise information management comes in.
00:07:54.959 --> 00:08:02.959
Document and records management systems, workflows, and rules engines that control who can see what, when, and why.
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:14.399
For Enterprise Agentic AI to evolve responsibly, it will need to learn not just from information, but within the guardrails of trust that systems like these provide.
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:25.759
When a company trains or fine-tunes its large or small language model on data it doesn't have the right to use, it's basically teaching the machine someone else's homework, and that never ends well.
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:32.240
If that data turns out to be proprietary, the fallout isn't a quick fix, it's a full reset.
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:39.360
The organization that owns it can demand the AI be untrained, which in today's world means starting from scratch.
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:42.240
You can't just pluck out one bad data source.
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:46.240
You have to roll the whole thing back to where the mistake began.
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.240
That can cost millions of dollars and months of lost time.
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:55.039
In some cases, it can take a promising AI program right off the board.
00:08:55.279 --> 00:09:03.039
In short, when it comes to governing data to train effective AI models, organizations need to measure twice and cut once.
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.120
That's why understanding data sovereignty has become mission critical.
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.559
Every organization holds something too valuable to lose.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.159
It's institutional knowledge and data, the keys to the castle.
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:16.799
It's what makes your business yours.
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:25.360
Hand that over to the wrong system or the wrong partner, and you risk watching your own information come back to you repackaged and resold.
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:30.399
Governments see that risk too, which is why they're racing to set guardrails.
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:39.840
New AI and data protection laws are on the horizon, and that'll make General Data Protection Regulation look like the opening act.
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:47.919
They'll reshape how companies store, share, and train on data, especially when personal or sensitive information is in play.
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:56.639
To get AI ready, organizations need to understand the three kinds of data sets that fuel intelligent systems and manage them responsibly.
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:10.639
One, human generated content we create every day, documents, emails, presentations, images, videos, and conversations, or what we call the living record of how an organization thinks.
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:23.440
Two, machine generated content, log files, alerts, and telemetry from IT systems, networks and security tools, the constant hum of how an organization operates.
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:32.159
Three, data that flows between organizations, transactions, supplier exchanges, and B2B integrations.
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:36.000
This is the connective tissue that keeps the economy running.
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:39.279
Organizations require sovereign data.
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:45.279
Agentic Enterprise AI needs all three data sets to function with real business context.
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:59.600
The shift ahead is from content in context to AI in context, where intelligence doesn't just process data, it understands relationships, intent, and value in order to effectively take action and learn.
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:06.639
And just like the information it learns from, AI itself must be secure, governed, and compliant.
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:15.440
Those aren't just technical standards, they're the foundation of trust that determines whether AI can be safely put to work inside the enterprise.
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:21.279
The real question isn't whether you'll share your data, it's how you'll stay in control of it.
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:27.919
True sovereignty means knowing where your data lives, who's accessing it, and how it's being used.
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.879
Not once, but continuously.
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:41.519
You need secure ways to bring generative AI, GEN AI, inside where your information already lives, inside your governed, secure systems.
00:11:41.759 --> 00:12:01.759
Let your people chat with their content, find it, summarize it, and build on it without ever breaking governance rules, and transform analytics into something you can simply ask about in plain language and safely introduce other products that carry the same intelligence into cybersecurity, application management, and beyond.
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:08.000
With secure, governed, sovereign data, you don't have to hand over your crown jewels to innovate.
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.240
You can use AI confidently.
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:16.960
Because in an era of responsible intelligence, the smartest organizations aren't the ones who feed AI the most data.
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.000
They're the ones who know which data they can trust.
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:23.200
The Path Forward: a call to leadership.
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:31.840
As we've discussed, the next era of innovation won't be led by those who move the fastest, but by those who move the most responsibly.
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:35.519
It is the intersection of trust and innovation.
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:47.919
Every executive decision, every line of code, every AI model now carries a moral dimension, because information has power, and how that power is used will define the decade ahead.
00:12:48.159 --> 00:13:05.919
This is the moment when leaders in enterprise, government, and industry will be required to treat their data and information not just as a resource, but as a responsibility, to strengthen data foundations, to embed governance into design, and to make security the default, not the exception.
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:14.879
The future of AI depends not only on how much we can automate, but on how deeply we can trust the systems and the data we build it on.
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:22.240
Across sectors, we see the same challenge emerging: the need to transform at speed without sacrificing control.
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.720
The organizations that succeed will be those that combine the courage to innovate with the discipline to govern.
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:42.000
They'll be the ones that protect privacy as fiercely as they pursue insight, that make transparency a competitive advantage, and that build enterprise AI capable not just of reasoning, but of earning trust.
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:53.279
This is where readiness meets responsibility, where digital ambition becomes accountable intelligence, and where the most transformative technologies are also guided by principle.
00:13:53.519 --> 00:14:07.759
Just as trusted data forms the bedrock and AI innovation lights the path forward, the chapters ahead will unpack data frameworks, AI governance models, and key considerations for both sovereign and non-sovereign data architectures.
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:19.440
At the end of each chapter, you'll find a Fast Five download to distill the essentials for quick reference, ensuring you're prepared to build, govern, and innovate with confidence.
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:22.799
The decade of responsible intelligence has begun.
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:28.559
Together, we can build it securely, ethically, and for the greater good.
