Accenture has built the Accenture Advanced Technology Agent (AATA), an agentic AI-powered integration platform that sits between the company’s human workforce and its technology platforms (earning the company a 2025 CIO 100 Award in IT Excellence).
Diving deeper into the detail, readers of this case study were keen to understand why traditional cloud tools cannot be relied upon to manage agentic AI. Calling on generations of human reporting Smart Answers opines that this insufficiency stems from the unique demands of agentic AI, which include autonomous decision-making, complex goal management, and the need for high levels of customization and optimization.
Unlike traditional automation, agentic AI systems operate autonomously, initiating tasks and making decisions without continuous human oversight. Consequently, enterprises need to consider moving away from public cloud solutions due to these specific requirements.
