Driving Outcomes with Autonomous Agents: Lessons from Cisco
March 10, 2026
3:00 P.M.
Coastal A
Scaling AI agents requires a solid knowledge foundation, not better models. Cisco has seen strong business results by deploying agents across the supply chain, helping drive efficiency and reduce latency and cost. Joe McMorrow shares lessons from demand planning to order management use cases: working backwards from business outcomes to data management, choosing what to automate first, building knowledge foundations for autonomy, and establishing governance to scale.

How AI Agents Enable Outcome-Based Data Governance
March 11, 2026
12:15 P.M.
Theater 1
Governance today is too manual, too slow, and disconnected from business outcomes. As regulatory pressure rises and AI moves into production, many governance teams are buried in policies, requirements, and tools they can’t scale.
Join Gary Dugan, SVP, Head of Data Management Execution at Truist, and Jonathan Bruce, Vice President & Field CTO at Alation as they share how Truist is shifting from policy-driven compliance to outcome-driven governance — expressing intent once and using intelligent agents to govern critical data at scale, reduce risk, and enable AI with confidence.
