??Hot topic from the 2025 TechRadar by Devoteam:? The rise of Agentic AI?
First things first, what is Agentic AI? Agentic AI divides AI applications into specialised, autonomous agents with specific roles and tools, enabling efficient handling of complex tasks. While deployed in customer service, sales, and operations, it presents challenges like explainability, sustainability concerns, and integration complexities. Agentic AI can empower human consultants but requires IT employees to develop new skills.
??? Making Sense of Ai in 2025 TLDR
In a discussion, Gert Jan van Halem , Andrea Coifman , and Laurent LETOURMY explored Agentic AI. Laurent expressed excitement about its potential to automate everyday tasks. Companies must determine if this technology aligns with their needs. Unlike chatbots, agents operate behind the scenes, analysing data and executing tasks. Their independence lets them explore data and create key performance indicators. Andrea acknowledged the risk of errors and hallucinations but highlighted the agents' ability to review each other's work, reducing mistakes. Effective data governance is crucial, requiring centralised data platforms. Federated platforms offer a balance between control and flexibility. How can you get started? Take a look at Crew AI. They simplify the development of these AI Agents, making them more accessible.

??Hot topic from the 2025 TechRadar by Devoteam:? The Rise of Agentic Ready Data Platforms
Driven by AI and agentic systems, data platforms are moving beyond traditional BI to become active operational hubs. Key changes include: handling complex AI-driven demands, the emergence of centralised semantic layers to connect human intent and data, a shift to domain-driven architectures, and the adoption of data observability. Why should you embrace these changes? To leverage AI and agentic systems.
??? Making Sense of Ai in 2025 TLDR
In this session, our guests discussed the evolution towards Agentic-ready Data Platforms, emphasising the need to enhance existing platforms to handle unstructured data like PDFs and videos, alongside structured data. Laurent stressed that good data governance is crucial for AI, not just for agents, and Andrea added that agents need a total view of data for better decision-making. They also discussed the challenges of centralised vs. federated data platforms, with Andrea advocating for a hybrid approach to balance flexibility and governance.

??Hot topic from the 2025 TechRadar by Devoteam: Rethinking how we build software
Generative AI is changing software development. It’s moving beyond automating code snippets by impacting architectural decisions and redefining the role of developers. This shift offers opportunities to reduce mundane tasks, accelerate delivery, and empower developers. On the other hand, it also raises questions about skills, ethics, and biases. Companies must balance experimentation with strategy, prioritise upskilling, implement governance, and focus on collaboration to harness AI-augmented development effectively.
??? Making Sense of AI in 2025 TLDR
In this session, Gert Jan van Halem , Sara Beskow , and Tim Sente discussed the changing role of software developers due to AI. They noted a shift towards supervising AI agents and processes rather than just coding. Tim added that developers are becoming more like project managers, coordinating tasks and using AI for debugging. The conversation also covered integrating agents into development teams. While AI enhances productivity, Sara mentioned the rapid growth of agentic AI. Agents for development are increasingly capable of handling the entire development process.

??Hot topic from the 2025 TechRadar by Devoteam: 2025, a decisive year for sovereignty?
In 2025, sovereignty will be a key concern for global organisations and governments due to cloud technology, legislation, AI, and geopolitical shifts. Regions like China, the US, Europe, and others are addressing these challenges with varied strategies. The EU focuses on digital sovereignty, while China emphasises state control. Companies must define sovereignty in their context, addressing data, technology, know-how, compliance, security, and economic factors, and create a compliance matrix.
??? Making Sense of AI in 2025 TLDR
In this session, Gert Jan van Halem , Anne Granet , and Olivier Mallet discussed the multifaceted nature of sovereignty in the context of AI. Olivier highlighted that sovereignty encompasses strategic independence, economic considerations, and compliance. He emphasised the need for European leadership, addressing language and value differences, and securing a fair share of the AI value chain. Anne added that while clients often focus on data security, compliance is a critical and evolving issue. It requires a flexible management approach to navigate regulatory changes. Both noted that companies are beginning to address sovereignty by registering risks and establishing AI governance platforms.

??Hot topic from the 2025 TechRadar by Devoteam: Synergy between compliance and cybersecurity?
Cyber threats are rising despite increased protection efforts, demanding global cyber regulations. Regulations like GDPR, NIS2, and DORA set security standards, build trust, and drive improvement. Digital trust, vital for customer loyalty, relies on responsible data handling. Technologies like ServiceNow and SecurityScorecard aid compliance. Devoteam recommends a clear framework, layered security, automation, and security awareness. Evolving GRC policies reflect the growing importance of data protection.
??? Making Sense of AI in 2025 TLDR
In this session, our guests explored the interplay between compliance and cybersecurity in the age of AI. Both agreed on the importance of building a flexible compliance management model to adapt to the ever-changing regulatory landscape. Olivier pointed out that compliance extends beyond security to include ethics and sustainability, and that European regulation aims to enhance user acceptance. The discussion also touched on the role of platforms in embedding compliance and governance processes. Additionally, they reminded of the importance of awareness and training within organisations to ensure effective compliance.
