One of the sharpest architecture conversations I had at Boomi World 2026 on The Ravit Show was with Kenneth Maglio, Principal Architect at World Wide Technology. His view on agentic AI was refreshingly honest. Can't wait to do this again!!!!
A lot of teams are still debating whether to prioritize data management or agentic AI. Ken's answer was simple. That debate is the problem. If you separate them, you end up with agents that look impressive in a demo and fall apart in production.
We talked about what his team was spending too much time on before Boomi, and how much of that work was not moving the business anywhere. The bigger shift was around data freshness. Ken made the case that this is the single biggest factor in whether an agent can actually be trusted. Stale data is not a small issue. It is the difference between a system that scales and one that quietly erodes confidence across the business.
We also got into the measurable outcomes WWT has seen since adopting the Boomi architecture, and what would break if that layer was removed. His answer made it clear how foundational this has become.
The takeaway for me. Agentic AI in the enterprise will not be won by whoever has the best model. It will be won by whoever has the cleanest, freshest, most governed data feeding those agents in real time.
