Agentic AI And Enterprise Software In 2026 (55:53)

CxOTALK, Friday, April 24th, 2026

Exploring how agentic AI reshapes enterprise software, pricing models, and CIO strategy in 2026.

This CXOTalk episode examines the production impact of agentic AI on enterprise software stacks, costs, and vendor relationships. Praveen Akkiraju from Insight Partners discusses where agents deliver real value across support, finance, IT, and coding use cases, which SaaS categories face disruption, and how enterprises should approach agent governance, data boundaries, and cost management.

The conversation covers the evolution from large language models to agent harnesses, the gap between AI hype and production deployments, and the fundamental shift in pricing models from traditional seat-based to usage and outcome-based approaches. Key recommendations include developing governance frameworks before scaling, matching agent autonomy to specific workflows, and tracking AI spending against measurable business outcomes.
