When we talk about the future of enterprise software, AI is front and center. But behind the buzzwords, real transformation is happening in how businesses plan, execute, and deliver professional services. In this episode, I sat down with Raju Malhotra, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Certinia, to explore how AI is shifting from theory to practice in high-scale environments. Certinia, a native ISV on Salesforce, is helping global tech and service firms like Cisco, Siemens, and PwC automate their services operations. With over two million users and six million active projects, the platform isn't just adding AI for the sake of it. It's embedding it directly into workflows to solve tangible business challenges. Raju shares a clear framework for understanding how different types of AI are being implemented. Predictive AI is already deeply integrated into enterprise processes. Generative AI is gaining traction for simplifying content and communication. Agentic AI, the most recent frontier, enables digital agents to complete complex tasks independently within enterprise guardrails. What stood out in our conversation was the emphasis on outcomes over features. Raju makes a compelling case for starting every technology decision by understanding the customer's goals. Certinia's approach avoids chasing trends for the sake of headlines. Instead, the focus is on delivering results like improved margins, higher resource utilization, and smarter project delivery. We also discussed Certinia's early adoption of Salesforce's Agent Force and how their team works closely with Salesforce engineering to align on AI strategy. Rebranding their ERP Cloud to Financial Management Cloud was another move that reflects their sharper focus on services-centric financials, rather than trying to be everything to everyone. There's a clear message in this conversation. Innovation in AI must be matched with investment in performance, latency, scale, and user experience. For any tech leader navigating the AI landscape, Raju's insights provide a grounded, real-world guide. How are you aligning your AI investments with measurable business outcomes?

Enterprise data management is undergoing a fundamental transformation. The traditional data stack built on rigid pipelines, static workflows, and human-led interventions is reaching its breaking point. As data volume, velocity, and variety continue to explode, a new approach is taking shape: agentic data management.In this episode of Tech Transformed, EM360Tech's Trisha Pillay sits down with Jay Mishra, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Astera, to explore why agentic systems powered by autonomous AI agents, Large Language Models (LLMs), and semantic search are rapidly being recognised as the next generation of enterprise data architecture.The conversation explores the drivers behind this shift, real-world applications, the impact on data professionals, challenges faced by agentic platforms, and the future of data stacks. Jay emphasises the importance of starting small and measuring ROI to successfully implement agentic solutions.What is Agentic Data Management?At its core, agentic data management is the application of intelligent, autonomous agents that can perceive, decide, and act across complex data environments. Unlike traditional automation, which follows predefined scripts, agentic AI is adaptive and self-directed. These agents are capable of learning from user behaviour, integrating with different systems, and adjusting to changes in context, all without human prompts.As Jay explains, "An agentic system is one that has the agency to make decisions, solve problems, and orchestrate actions based on real-time data and context, not just on training data.TakeawaysAgentic data management is the next evolutionary step in data architecture.Agents are autonomous and can make decisions on the fly.The demand for agentic solutions is increasing due to data volume and AI strategy needs.Maturity of foundation models enables near-human reasoning capabilities.Real-world applications of agentic AI include insurance claim processing.Data engineers will focus on policy and guardrail creation rather than coding.Governance, debt and hallucinations are significant challenges in agentic platforms.The future of data stacks will include declarative control plans and enhanced memory layers.Analysts will play a crucial role in defining policies for agentic systems.Starting small and demonstrating ROI is key to successful agentic implementation.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Agentic Data Management02:58 Understanding Agentic Data Management06:58 Drivers of Change in Data Management10:03 Real-World Applications of Agentic AI14:15 Impact on Data Engineers and Analysts16:43 Challenges and Limitations of Agentic Data Platforms20:03 Future of Data Stacks23:31 Final Thoughts on Agentic Data ManagementAbout Jay MishraJay Mishra is the Chief Product and Technology Officer at Astera Software, with over two decades of experience in data architecture and data-centric software innovation.

Nine months into her role as Chief Product and Technology Officer at Temenos, Barb Morgan is focused on a simple principle when it comes to product strategy: quality over quantity. "We want to build less, but build it better," Morgan said during a conversation at the Temenos Regional Forum Americas 2025 held May 28-30 in Miami. Temenos' approach centers on co-creating meaningful solutions with bank customers rather than rushing to market with multiple products. Morgan emphasized that the company is "really focused on making sure that whatever we put out there is meaningful," as the industry navigates what she calls the "AI hype curve." Morgan's insights reveal why many banks struggle with AI adoption despite the technology's promise. The real barriers aren't about computing power or algorithms — they're messier problems involving decades-old data systems that were never designed for AI and organizational cultures that haven't caught up to the pace of technological change. Her conversation also detailed Temenos' bet on bringing innovation closer to customers, such as through its new hub in Orlando designed for co-creation, and why the company is taking a strategic and deeply integrated approach to AI that enables banks to deploy AI-powered solutions faster and safer.

How is AI transforming the way we interact with sound, voice, and digital personas? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Alex Bordanova, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Voicemod, about the company's groundbreaking approach to AI-driven voice transformation and its expanding role beyond gaming. Originally developed to enhance voice chat experiences for gamers, Voicemod has evolved into a powerful tool for real-time voice modulation, combining traditional digital signal processing (DSP) with cutting-edge AI. Alex shares how their technology enables users to alter their voice characteristics—changing timbre, pitch, and resonance—while maintaining clarity and intelligibility. With millions of users creating custom voices every month, Voicemod is at the forefront of AI-powered audio innovation. We discuss the launch of Voicemod Key, a new hardware solution bringing voice transformation to console gaming and VR, allowing seamless integration between microphones and gaming platforms. Alex also highlights the importance of ethical AI practices, emphasizing Voicemod's commitment to using professionally recorded and consented datasets to train its AI models responsibly. Beyond gaming, Voicemod is forging partnerships with major entertainment brands, collaborating with Warner Bros, Rovio, and other global IP holders to bring iconic voices to life. As audio technology catches up to the advancements in visual media, what does the future hold for voice augmentation in entertainment, communication, and beyond?
