The new Agentic Development Lifecycle: The skills required to hire, onboard, and manage your AI agents

The new Agentic Development Lifecycle: The skills required to hire, onboard, and manage your AI agents

September 28, 2026

Most organizations are still managing agents the way they manage software — build it, test it, ship it — even though an agent makes its own calls and won't behave the same way twice. This article makes the case that AI agents should be treated less like software and more like new hires. Specifically, using an Agent Development Lifecycle that follows the same path a company would take with someone joining the team: define the role and its limits, grant access only to the systems the job requires, test that the agent can actually do the work, keep a person in the loop to review its actions before they go out the door, organize specialist agents into teams with clear reporting lines, and keep measuring performance once it's live.

The Passenger Experience Is Only as Consistent as Your Data: Preparing Asia’s Aviation Industry for Growth

September 16, 2026

Asia-Pacific aviation is heading into a growth curve it hasn't seen before — PATA projects nearly 715 million international arrivals across the region in 2026, climbing to 789 million by 2028. The catch is that much of the infrastructure moving passengers through airports still runs on periodic updates, so a gate change that takes minutes to reach a display board turns into missed connections, idle crews and buffer time built into every schedule. In this byline, Solace’s Sumeet Puri makes the case that the passenger experience is only ever as consistent as the data behind it. Success comes down to three moves: freeing the data trapped in individual systems; moving it the moment it changes rather than in overnight batches; and putting it in the hands of the teams who need it with the right governance around it. The takeaway: the airports that treat real-time data as core infrastructure will grow without the delays and manual workarounds growing with them.

How can Enterprise Data Centre Customers Power the AI Era, Without Powering Up Emissions

How can Enterprise Data Centre Customers Power the AI Era, Without Powering Up Emissions

July 30, 2026

Much of the sustainability conversation so far has focused on operators seeking out better hardware, smarter cooling, and more renewables. But there's a second, often-overlooked opportunity: how enterprise customers design the systems running inside these environments. In this article, Solace’s Phil Scanlon explains that legacy "always-on" systems quietly burn huge amounts of energy sitting idle, waiting for requests, forcing organizations to overbuild for peak demand, wasting both money and power. By shifting to a real-time data platform, enterprises can dramatically cut that waste while still fuelling AI-driven growth.

Bridging the gap from AI prototype to production

Bridging the gap from AI prototype to production

June 10, 2026

Two-thirds of enterprise AI projects never make it past the pilot stage…and it's rarely the technology that's to blame. So what separates the companies scaling AI from those stuck in demo mode? Solace Chief AI Strategy Officer Shawn McAllister tackles exactly that in a media Q&A with Digicon Asia. He unpacks the "prototype trap," the foundational gaps that stall AI initiatives (stale data, ungoverned access, no standardization), and how solutions like Solace Agent Mesh can turn experiments into real business value.

How Agentic AI is Tackling Supply Chain Disruption

How Agentic AI is Tackling Supply Chain Disruption

June 05, 2026

With the ongoing dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, global media have been actively monitoring the ripple effects on the global supply chain. In this byline, Solace’s Tom Fairbairn looks at how supply chain chokepoints caused by global events serve as a powerful reminder that the greater risk for organizations is inaction. But inaction is the only option if they don’t have the supply data to take action. Overnight, batch-based processing and planning simply won’t cut it. Organizations must have real-time, fully integrated, and digitized supply chains to re-route resources and manage costs the moment data shifts.

From seeing to reasoning: why event-driven data Is the missing link for driverless cars

April 07, 2026

Waymo’s arrival in the UK and Nvidia’s Alpamayo launch make one thing clear: real-time data goes far beyond technical detail. It’s the difference between autonomy that works in theory and autonomy that works on London’s streets. Driverless cars will soon become part of everyday life. But if they’re going to earn our trust, they have to do more than see what’s in front of them. They have to understand the moment they’re in and respond to it instantly.
