Bill Doerrfeld | April 30, 2025
Are companies really deploying agentic AI? And if so, how? Excited to share firsthand examples in today's CIO.com feature.
Leading execs shared how they're realizing gains across core workflows — from sales and customer service to finance and backend operations.

Since 'agentic AI' gets tossed around a lot, my hope is that this piece will offer guidance with some practical, real-world examples!
Next up: a CIO.com follow-up on API integration in agentic AI.
