Now imagine that anyone in the organization will beable to create, connect, interact with a ���constellationof agents.���

That only means that you were never responsible fortechnology within your organization.
Maybe you had a glimpse in the news about all the latestthreats from viruses, phishing or other various formsof hacking. Every IT department is trying to stay abovewater just to safely run what they have now.
