Mike Vizard, Jon Swartz, Tracy Ragan, Jack Poller, Wickey Wang and Futurum Group analyst Guy Currier connect three enterprise AI storylines.
First, they break down how ServiceNow just made AI, data governance and workflow automation native in every SKU—Context Engine, Build Agent skills and the ESM Foundation bundle eliminate the sidecar tax and give AI agents institutional memory.

Finally, they go on a Nutanix field trip as .NEXT headlines a NetApp alliance that turns ONTAP into the data backbone for Nutanix Cloud Platform, targeting VMware refugees and future container rollouts.
