AI Agent Orchestration: The CIO's Crucial Next Step
CIO, Thursday, July 10th, 2025
As companies deploy dozens of AI agents and LLMs, they will need to control and connect them all through an orchestration and integration platform, experts say.
In the near agentic AI future, enterprises will run dozens if not hundreds of AI agents, with CIOs in charge of orchestrating and connecting them to help employees navigate a range of interconnected business processes.
Take onboarding a new employee. In the not distant future, an HR rep might ask a chatbot to set up the new employee. By coordinating several agents, the chatbot would in turn enter the employee into the payroll system, walk her through health insurance options, and set up her email and videoconferencing services. Further agent coordination could also deliver the new employee training, issue a building entry badge, and even ship her a laptop or assign her a desk, all with minimal human input.
