The Agentic Enterprise: Unlocking AI Value Without Breaking the Token Budget or the Trust Boundary

AI agents are moving enterprise AI from simple question-answering to autonomous operators that can plan, reason, use tools, coordinate sub-agents, and execute work across business systems, creating major value in productivity, service quality, and operational speed. But as agents scale, two challenges can undermine that value: tokenomics and security. Long-running reasoning loops, memory, retrieval, and tool calls can make inference costs unpredictable, while prompt injection, exposed credentials, shadow agents, ungoverned APIs, and weak observability expand the enterprise attack surface. This session will show how organizations can capture the value of agentic AI responsibly by starting HPE and NVIDIA solutions enabling safe agent creation, using on-prem systems with Local LLMs, using HPE observability to track agents, enforcing zero-trust access, governing agent identity and tools, and preserving human oversight for agents.
