IBM Enterprise Advantage expands AI capabilities

- New updates to IBM Enterprise Advantage fast-track enterprise AI transformation across hybrid and regulated environments

- Expanded AWS and SAP collaborations boost multi‑agent interoperability and deployment flexibility  

 

IBM has introduced two new updates to IBM Enterprise Advantage, an asset-based consulting service that helps clients build and operate their own hybrid-AI platforms. Both updates combine consulting expertise with software-based delivery to help enterprises embed AI into daily processes with business context. 

Context Studio, now available, allows enterprises to create AI agents grounded in the structure of their organisation's data and processes. This capability is designed to drive enhanced accuracy, relevance, and performance at scale while also supporting digital sovereignty by helping organizations keep control over their data, models, and decisions across environments.

Process Studio, coming soon, is expected to help enterprises convert legacy processes into agent-ready workflows by using AI agents to extract logic from thousands of standard operating procedures and artifacts.

In a recent client project, supported by internal assets that will become part of Process Studio, IBM analysed 1,400 procedures, uncovered more than 1,000 improvement opportunities, and redesigned workflows that are projected to help the client reduce operating costs by more than 25% in 18 months using agentic AI.

From certifying AI agents to accelerating caregiver hiring, organisations are modernising essential workforce systems with AI. 

Pearson and IBM preview AI agent verification solution

Pearson and IBM will preview a new capability in development that enables enterprises to certify and continuously assess AI agents, ensuring they have the right skills to perform specific tasks. The capability is being developed on Pearson's internal-AI platform, modelled on IBM Enterprise Advantage. It will help organisations manage human expertise alongside AI assistants, agents, and assets. 

Advancing multi-agent AI interoperability with SAP

IBM and SAP have expanded their collaboration through the agent-to-agent (A2A) interoperability standard to perform complex multi-agent services for clients. IBM Consulting Advantage agents can now manage SAP's Joule agents, which work directly with IBM's watsonx Orchestrate agents.

IBM Consulting Advantage is an internal hybrid-AI platform for delivering consulting services to clients. 

These enhancements underscore IBM's focus on helping organizations advance their AI journeys. Through AI-powered delivery services and strong partnerships, IBM Consulting is helping clients modernise frameworks, integrate AI across the tech stack, and achieve the interoperability that makes scaling AI easier and drives meaningful outcomes.

NVIDIA brings secure agent workspaces and confidential computing to AI factories

As enterprise AI use cases move from chatbots to persistent, autonomous agents capable of reasoning, writing their own software tools, and executing complex cross-system workflows, demands on token generation fundamentally rewrite the enterprise model for security, compliance, infrastructure and cost.  To scale safely, organisations need AI factories  that are built for secure, trusted and efficient AI production. NVIDIA is supporting this trend with new reference architectures for  Secure Agent Workspaces ,  Confidential VMs and Confidential Containers .  Legacy IT security controls — static credentials, network allowlists and standard role-based access — were not designed for autonomous agents, NVIDIA said. Securing an AI factory requires a paradigm shift to runtime-enforced, policy-driven guardrails. Enterprises need secure agent workspaces — persistent, single-user environments accessed via enterprise single sign-on. Secure agent workspaces are governed by...

Fortinet enhances FortiRecon to align with CTEM framework

Fortinet, the global cybersecurity provider driving the convergence of networking and security, has turned the FortiRecon platform into a comprehensive solution aligned with the continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) framework. The latest release introduces expanded internal attack surface monitoring, adversary-centric dark web intelligence, and security orchestration, all in a unified platform. These enhancements help organisations proactively identify and prioritise real-world exposures, validate risks like an attacker would, and accelerate response. “CISOs and security teams are overwhelmed by growing attack surfaces and an endless stream of unprioritised alerts,” said Nirav Shah, Senior VP of Products and Solutions at Fortinet. “With the latest enhancements to FortiRecon , we’re giving organisations an attacker’s eye view of their internal and external exposures, backed by AI-powered threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs, real-world validation, and automated response...
