Enterprise software enters its agentic era, not feature cycle

Forrester is distinguishing incremental product updates from a structural reorganization of how business applications function—moving from tools that respond to user commands toward systems that execute tasks autonomously within guardrails. Companies that embed autonomous decision-making into existing software stacks will compress cycle times and reduce manual labor bottlenecks. Those that treat agentic capabilities as a UI layer on top of legacy systems will waste investment. The competitive pressure now runs through whether vendors can architecturally integrate AI agents into workflows without forcing customers to rip-and-replace their entire tech infrastructure.

SCADA Goes Web-Native, Closing Industrial Software's Final Frontier

Source: SolidSmack

SCADA systems—the control interfaces for power grids, water treatment, and manufacturing—have resisted cloud and web architecture for legitimate reasons: air-gapped security, deterministic latency, vendor lock-in. As containerization, edge computing, and better authentication standards mature, software vendors and industrial operators are converging on browser-based operator stations. This dismantles the last major barrier to proprietary industrial software dominance and opens the market to startups competing directly with 30-year incumbents. Enterprise IT can now integrate these systems into modern DevOps workflows instead of maintaining parallel legacy stacks.
