What happens when software stops waiting for instructions and starts acting? In his latest ETCIO article, Rahul Shrivastava, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Hi-Tech and ISV at Persistent, explores how Agentic AI is transforming software from a system that records and informs into a system that decides and acts. He explains why the real advantage will come from domain-specific data, proprietary knowledge, contextual workflows, and the governance, evaluation, and observability needed to trust autonomous execution. At Persistent, we help our clients make Agentic AI part of the core of how they build, price, and deliver software, supported by governance, evaluation, and outcome-based models.

A question every organization is wrestling with: How do you move AI from pilot projects into everyday work? At Microsoft's Work Trend Index 2026 - India Edition, Persistent joined leaders and innovators to exchange perspectives on the future of AI-powered work.

44% Fewer Hallucinations. 31% Better Performance. Same Model. Read that again. Nobody retrained anything. Neo4j-sponsored IDC research found those gains came from connecting the data, not upgrading the brain. Which raises an uncomfortable question about your last model spend. In Episode 21 of Re(AI)magine Conversations, Ish Thukral and Darshan Watve break down what actually moves the needle: • Why context, not compute, is the real control plane • Why "does this transaction look abnormal?" is the wrong question and what replaces it • Why a confidently wrong insight costs more than silence • How Customer 360 stops being a slide and starts being a decision engine • The unglamorous part: getting any of it into production Your models are commodities. Your relationships aren't.

Congratulations, Gordon Wong! Gordon, Senior Partner – Firmwide Operations Excellence Lead, West Monroe has been recognized as a winner in the Trusted AI Transformation Advisor Award category at the inaugural AI Waymakers Awards, hosted by Persistent at the 24th Annual American Business Awards® (Stevie® Awards) in New York. Most AI initiatives don't fail on ambition, they stall in the gap between strategy and execution. As Senior Partner and the firmwide lead for operations excellence at West Monroe, Gordon works squarely in that gap, advising organizations on where AI genuinely earns its place and building the operational discipline to carry it from intent to measurable return. Counsel of this calibre is earned in the impact it leaves behind.

Dreamforce 2026 is in the books. A week of candid conversations, fresh perspectives, new connections and a few packed calendars along the way. From executive discussions to customer meetings and Salesforce ecosystem recognition, the week reflected something we are proud of: the trust we're building across the Salesforce community and the outcomes we are helping clients achieve. It was also an opportunity to share how Persistent is bringing together Salesforce, AI and data to help enterprises simplify complexity, move faster and create lasting business value.
