From Agents to Enterprises: The Architecture of Intelligent Systems
AI copilots are evolving into autonomous agents that plan, decide, and act across services—reshaping how enterprises design and govern software.
This talk explains how to architect systems that can think and collaborate safely inside corporate boundaries.
You’ll learn the Agentic Architecture Blueprint: orchestrators and planners built with frameworks like LangGraph or MCP; Data Cloud + GraphRAG for verifiable grounding; and the control layers—policy engines, evaluations, and observability—that make these agents trustworthy.
We’ll connect these technical patterns to emerging governance models (ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF) and security standards (OWASP LLM Top-10) so you can move from isolated copilots to governed, explainable, multi-agent platforms.
Expect real patterns, live demos, and a clear roadmap for transforming AI from “assistants” into intelligent enterprise systems.
Agenda

About Rohit Bhardwaj
Rohit Bhardwaj is a Director of AI & Data Architecture at Salesforce, where he focuses on enterprise AI, agentic systems, cloud-native architecture, distributed systems, data platforms, security, and large-scale transformation.
Over his career, Rohit has designed and led complex enterprise platforms across AWS, Google Cloud, microservices, real-time data, API ecosystems, resilient distributed systems, and AI-enabled architectures. His work increasingly focuses on the challenges enterprises face as software evolves from deterministic services to AI-native and agentic systems—particularly around reliability, governance, evidence, security, observability, cost, and safe autonomy.
Rohit is the author of System Design with AI Interview Guide: Designing Scalable, Agentic, and Defensible Systems, published by Apress. The book presents a modern approach to system design covering scalability, distributed systems, AI architecture primitives, security, reliability, economics, agentic systems, and real-world architectures including e-commerce, ride sharing, payments, fraud detection, messaging, video streaming, file storage, and search.
