Data Modernization in the Agentic World
Webinar Speaker: Donald Farmer, TDWI Research Fellow
Date: Wednesday, November 4 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET
Enterprises are shifting from AI pilots to agentic systems that act on business data with minimal human review. This forces a critical question for data leaders: Can legacy foundations built for dashboards support autonomous agents that operate at machine speed? Success hinges on modernizing your data layer. Agentic AI demands cloud-native platforms, automated governance, real-time metadata, and continuous quality controls.
Join TDWI research fellow Donald Farmer and experts from Informatica and Cognizant to learn how to modernize data across your enterprise. Discover where automation speeds delivery, which governance and metadata capabilities matter most, and how to sequence a program for both analytics and agentic workloads.
In this webinar, you’ll explore:
- Why agentic AI raises the standard for data quality, governance, and metadata
- How to assess your current data infrastructure for agentic AI and differentiate modernization from migration
- Ways automation reduces program effort and risk
