The Agentic Enterprise

The era of software-as-a-silo is over. The age of the Autonomous Enterprise has arrived.

Are your most critical business processes held together by "human glue"? Despite millions spent on digital transformation and iPaaS solutions, modern enterprises are drowning in SaaS sprawl. Highly paid employees spend their days acting as biological middleware-copying, pasting, and manually reconciling data between brittle, disconnected systems.

In The Agentic Enterprise, enterprise architect and technology strategist David Maiolo unveils the blueprint for the next massive paradigm shift in corporate IT. Moving beyond the rigid, imperative logic of the past, Maiolo introduces the declarative power of Large Language Models (LLMs)-not as simple chatbots, but as the headless cognitive engines of an autonomous digital workforce.

This is not a book about AI theory; it is a rigorous, practical manual for dismantling technical debt and building the corporate stack of the future.

Inside, you will discover how to:

• Architect Swarm Intelligence: Move beyond monolithic AI to design specialized, least-privilege micro-agents that collaborate asynchronously to execute complex, cross-functional workflows.
• Build the Agentic Tech Stack: Master the new primitives of enterprise IT, including Vector Databases for semantic memory, ReAct reasoning frameworks, and dynamic tool-use APIs.
• Implement Zero-Trust AI Security: Protect your enterprise by deploying semantic firewalls, cognitive state monitors, and dynamic ephemeral credentialing to safely govern autonomous actions.
• Execute the Strangler Fig Strategy: Discover a pragmatic, risk-mitigated approach to starving legacy monoliths and replacing them with self-healing, agent-native micro-workflows.
• Create a Self-Correcting Enterprise: Harness Exception Data Lakes and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) feedback to build a system that learns from its mistakes and continuously optimizes its own operations.
