AI agents are transforming how work gets done—but they're also creating a new enterprise challenge. As organizations deploy agents built on different frameworks, clouds, and platforms, they face increasing complexity around governance, security, observability, cost management, and operational consistency. Building agents is no longer the hard part; operating them at enterprise scale is.

Join IBM experts to discover how IBM watsonx Orchestrate serves as the enterprise agentic control plane, helping organizations manage, govern, observe, evaluate, and optimize AI agents across IBM, third-party, custom, and open-source environments—without vendor lock-in. Learn how leading enterprises are moving beyond isolated AI pilots to establish a unified operational layer that brings visibility, policy enforcement, lifecycle management, and continuous optimization to their growing AI ecosystems.

During this session, you'll see how organizations can:

• Manage agents across multiple vendors, frameworks, and clouds from a single control plane

• Govern AI with centralized policies, identity, security, and auditability

• Evaluate agents before production and continuously monitor runtime performance

• Optimize agent quality, reliability, and cost as deployments scale

• Accelerate enterprise AI adoption with an open, hybrid approach that preserves flexibility while reducing operational complexity

Whether you're just beginning your agentic AI journey or scaling hundreds of AI agents across your organization, you'll leave with practical guidance for transforming agent sprawl into trusted, enterprise-scale AI operations.
