The rise of agentic computing is forcing an architecture rethink. Here's why composable platforms are emerging as the backbone of enterprise AI. As the internet has evolved over the past few decades, including overhauls to meet mobile consumption and scaling service to the cloud, agentic computing is the next great flashpoint.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the online commerce experience. In just the last few years, generative AI tools have personalized shopping experiences, such as empowering chatbots to provide recommendations to consumer prompts. Now, agentic AI can even autonomously buy products on behalf of shoppers. Consumers are witnessing unparalleled service online.

Legacy systems can’t keep up with AI agents. Here’s how MACH architectures enable scalable, interoperable agentic AI ecosystems and what it takes to build one. There’s a common phrase in the tech community: “Don’t build your AI on quicksand.” In this sinking scenario, technology and business leaders construct AI-powered platforms by overlaying AI solutions and components on top of legacy architecture, which is designed to accommodate new tech and next-gen solutions.
