Excerpt
Every generation of enterprise software followed the same pattern: manual process, then software-assisted process, then automated process. Payroll moved from ledger books to spreadsheets to ERP systems. Customer support moved from phone trees to ticketing systems to chatbots. Each transition reduced cost, increased speed, and shifted human effort from execution to oversight. AI agents represent the next transition. They do not just automate individual tasks. They orchestrate multi-step workflows, make decisions based on context, and interact with enterprise systems through APIs and protocols. A procurement agent does not simply fill in a purchase order template. It evaluates vendor options, checks budget thresholds, applies compliance rules, routes approvals to the right stakeholders, and generates documentation.
