BMC is betting big on agentic AI, positioning its Control-M platform as a central orchestration hub for enterprise deployments. The company argues that effective orchestration is crucial for widespread adoption and scaling of AI agents within organizations. Control-M’s ability to automate business workflows across various platforms from a single control point makes it well-suited for this role, according to BMC. The platform aims to connect applications and APIs to AI agents, facilitating seamless integration and scalability. BMC points to the growing trend of companies like Salesforce automating functions with agentic AI, highlighting the increasing demand for robust orchestration solutions.
Basil Faruqui, director of solutions marketing at BMC, envisions Control-M as the ‘orchestrator of agents across systems.’ He emphasizes the transformative potential of generative AI, citing examples like significantly reducing operational time in claims processing. However, Faruqui stresses the importance of addressing operational and governance challenges to fully realize this potential. Furthermore, with AI projects increasingly driven by board-level decisions and progress reported directly to shareholders, the pressure is on for quick results. BMC believes that orchestration solutions like Control-M can effectively bridge the gap between ambitious AI initiatives and tangible business outcomes.
