Agentic AI: This New Form of AI Doesn’t Need Prompts

As enterprises continue to digitize operations and seek intelligent automation, the concept of Agentic AI has emerged as a defining force in the next evolution of artificial intelligence. The 2025 ISG Buyers Guide: Agentic and Generative AI serves as a vital resource for understanding the rapidly growing ecosystem of software providers addressing this technological transformation. While generative AI (GenAI) has captured attention for its content generation capabilities, it is Agentic AI that promises to revolutionize how systems autonomously execute complex tasks in dynamic environments. What is Agentic AI? ISG Research defines Agentic AI as artificial intelligence capable of taking autonomous actions based on an understanding of its environment and specific goals. Unlike GenAI, which relies on prompts to generate responses, Agentic AI functions like a digital agent—perceiving, reasoning, and acting independently across software systems. This distinction marks a fundamental shift from passive AI interaction to proactive, goal-driven behavior, making Agentic AI indispensable for process automation, workflow management, and intelligent decision support. Agentic AI vs. Generative AI: Complementary, Not Competitive While Generative AI excels at producing content—text, images, code—based on user prompts, its effectiveness is limited by accuracy issues, commonly referred to as hallucinations. Enterprises have attempted to overcome these challenges by fine-tuning large language models (LLMs), incorporating Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and investing in prompt engineering. However, when operational outcomes depend on autonomous decision-making rather than static content generation, Agentic AI becomes the more appropriate model. Agentic systems go beyond language understanding to execute complex, multi-step actions. These systems often leverage Large Action Models (LAMs) or augmented LLMs trained on sequences of decisions and outcomes. As such, AI Agents represents a more advanced capability: a software agent that can function independently to meet enterprise objectives. Market Trends and the Rise of Agentic AI Platforms Driven by the need for intelligent automation and increased ROI, enterprises are increasingly adopting Agentic AI to enhance operational efficiency. According to ISG, a third of enterprises are already investing in AI-driven business process workflow management—an area where Agentic AI plays a leading role. At the same time, the cost of operating expansive GenAI models has prompted organizations to shift towards smaller, task-specific models. This pivot has also influenced the rise of “model gardens,” where a variety of AI models, including agentic architectures, are deployed and managed for specific use cases. LLMOps—extensions of MLOps tailored for LLMs—are further maturing to accommodate the unique demands of deploying Agentic AI, from lifecycle governance to performance monitoring. Evaluating Agentic AI: Methodology and Key Leaders The ISG Buyers Guide introduces a structured, criteria-driven approach for evaluating software providers based on their Agentic AI capabilities. Enterprises are encouraged to assess platforms across five product experience dimensions—capability, adaptability, usability, manageability, and reliability—as well as customer-focused metrics like TCO/ROI and solution validation. Google Cloud, Oracle, and IBM lead the pack in providing comprehensive support for Agentic AI, scoring highly on both technical and customer experience metrics. Their platforms exhibit strong agentic capabilities, supported by robust model orchestration, developer tooling, and integration with enterprise workflows. Other notable players such as Databricks, Microsoft, and AWS have also made significant strides, offering modular toolsets that support the development and deployment of autonomous agents. ISG’s quadrant classification—Exemplary, Innovative, Merit, and Assurance—further contextualizes the maturity and enterprise fit of each provider. Strategic Implications of Agentic AI for Enterprises Deploying Agentic AI is not merely a technological choice but a strategic imperative. Autonomous agents hold the potential to reduce operational overhead, improve decision accuracy, and enable real-time responsiveness in complex business environments. However, effective adoption requires a systematic approach, including: As with any enterprise investment, the fit between a provider’s offerings and organizational needs is paramount. Overly complex systems may introduce implementation risk, while insufficient agentic functionality may limit return on investment. Unlocking Agentic AI’s Potential in the Philippines The 2025 ISG Buyers Guide highlights Agentic AI as a transformative force in enterprise technology—and its implications for the Philippines are particularly significant. As the country continues to position itself as a digital innovation hub in Southeast Asia, the adoption of Agentic AI presents a strategic opportunity to enhance competitiveness across both the public and private sectors.

Download the Presentation in PPT format About the Workshop Governments worldwide are accelerating their digital transformation journeys to improve service delivery, ensure transparency, and enhance operational efficiency. Central to this movement is a citizen-centric approach—a model that ensures digital initiatives respond to the real needs, expectations, and lived experiences of the public. This strategy is strengthened through the use of platform-based digital models, which promote interoperability, data sharing, and the adoption of fit-for-purpose innovations across government institutions. The DigiGov Workshop aimed to equip key decision-makers from executive departments, GOCCs, LGUs, and SUCs with the skills to craft a sustainable digitalization roadmap aligned with national priorities. It also focused on government procurement best practices, AI integration, and building resilient systems to enable inclusive and secure digital transformation. Redefining Digital Infrastructure Through Fit-for-Purpose Design In a landscape dominated by fast-evolving technology, government institutions must be cautious not to conflate innovation with complexity. The concept of fit-for-purpose technology challenges the notion that cutting-edge solutions are always better. Instead, it emphasizes relevance, efficiency, and long-term sustainability. A fit-for-purpose system is built to address specific problems using tools and methods best aligned with the actual requirements of the organization. Rather than defaulting to over-engineered or trendy solutions, it calls for a thoughtful balance between functionality, cost, and user experience. Whether the approach is fully custom-built or incorporates configurable commercial platforms, the end goal is the same: simplify processes, enhance accountability, and improve public service delivery. Equally important is the choice of infrastructure model—on-premise, cloud-based, or hybrid. This decision must be informed by institutional needs, including data sensitivity, security, budget, and capacity to maintain and scale digital solutions. The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Fit-for-Purpose Systems Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a cornerstone of modern digital transformation.

SPSS in the Philippines: Over 50 years of Continuous Relevance

Statistical analysis has been a cornerstone of research and decision-making across various disciplines. The 1970s marked a turning point for social sciences, as the increasing availability of computers allowed researchers to analyze data in ways that were previously impossible. At the heart of this transformation was SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences), a software tool that enabled social scientists to perform complex statistical analyses without needing advanced programming skills. Such was the influence of SPSS that the original SPSS manual (Nie, Bent & Hull, 1970) is considered one of “sociology’s most influential books.” SPSS is one of a rare breed of software that has been used, maintained, and continuously updated for over fifty years. From its early days on mainframe computers to its modern AI-powered versions under IBM, SPSS has played a crucial role in shaping the methods and scope of social science research. A personal account of SPSS in the Philippines in the 1970s The 1970s was a transformative era for data analysis. Computing technology was advancing, yet many processes remained cumbersome and required extensive manual intervention. Marcelo Robosa, Chairman of EACOMM Corporation, recalls his first encounter with SPSS in the Philippines in 1977 while working at the Institute of Labor and Manpower Studies (ILMS) under the Department of Labor. At that time, data entry was a labor-intensive task. “I got involved in the manual editing of data using pencil and paper,” Robosa shares. The data was then transferred onto punch cards using the Hollerith system, a method widely used in early computing. These punch cards were processed using mainframe computers, an experience that was vastly different from today’s real-time statistical analysis. Processing SPSS on Mainframe Computers In the late 1970s, ILMS utilized block time accounts at major computer facilities, such as the MERALCO computer facility on Ortigas Avenue. This facility housed an IBM System/360 mainframe, a behemoth of a machine that required careful environmental control, including a cold room to prevent overheating. “There was a window for receiving processing requests. We submitted a box of punch cards, and then we had to wait for the results,” Robosa recalls. The turnaround time for processing depended on the queue and could take hours or even overnight. This starkly contrasts with modern SPSS versions, where results are generated instantaneously. Errors in processing required meticulous correction. Once results were received in printed form, any inaccuracies meant locating the erroneous punch card, manually editing it, and resubmitting the batch. “To print a correct card, I had to learn how to use the punch card machine,” Robosa notes, underscoring the technical skills required at the time. Given the high demand for computing resources, ILMS later established an additional block time account at the Technology Resource Center (TRC) on Buendia Avenue, Makati. This facility used the UNIVAC 1100, another mainframe system capable of processing SPSS data. Having access to multiple computing centers helped mitigate delays caused by high user traffic. Unlike the MERALCO facility, TRC allowed users direct access to a console for editing and correction, which significantly reduced turnaround time. However, the core functions of SPSS—data definition, task execution, and data processing—remained consistent across platforms. The key difference lay in the Job Control Language (JCL) used to interact with the system. For non-programmers like Robosa, learning JCL was a challenge, but he overcame it with the help of peers he met while waiting for processing jobs. SPSS in the 1980s: Expansion and Graphical Interfaces Technological Advancements The early 1980s marked a shift from mainframe-based batch processing to more interactive computing. SPSS-X, introduced in 1983, was a significant update that allowed users to process datasets with multiple record types, a key feature that improved flexibility for researchers handling complex datasets. During this period, computers were still primarily used in universities, government agencies, and large corporations. SPSS remained a command-driven software, requiring users to input syntax commands to run statistical analyses. While this approach was effective, it limited the software’s usability to those with advanced technical knowledge. The Rise of Personal Computers and SPSS for Windows The introduction of personal computers (PCs) in the mid-1980s revolutionized how statistical analysis was performed. As PCs became more affordable and accessible, software developers began adapting programs for individual use. Recognizing this shift, SPSS Inc. started developing versions that could run on standalone computers rather than requiring access to costly mainframe systems. By 1989, SPSS introduced its first version compatible with Microsoft Windows, allowing users to run analyses on PCs without needing specialized mainframe access. This marked the beginning of SPSS’s transition to a more user-friendly interface, paving the way for broader adoption among non-specialist users. SPSS in the 1990s: The Rise of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Business Analytics The Introduction of SPSS with a Graphical Interface The biggest change in SPSS during the 1990s was the introduction of a graphical user interface (GUI). Before this, users had to rely on command-line syntax, which required technical expertise. With the introduction of a point-and-click interface in the early 1990s, SPSS became accessible to a much wider audience, including students, researchers, and business analysts who lacked programming skills. By SPSS 6.1 (1995), the software had a fully developed GUI that allowed users to conduct complex statistical analyses through a menu-driven system. This eliminated the need for extensive knowledge of command syntax, making SPSS significantly easier to use. Key Features Introduced in the 1990s The Lasting Impact of SPSS in the Philippines from the 1980s and 1990s By the end of the 1990s, SPSS had firmly established itself as one of the most widely used statistical software programs across academia, government, and the private sector. SPSS Made Statistical Analysis More Accessible Before SPSS, advanced statistical analysis was limited to specialists with programming expertise. The introduction of GUIs in the 1990s made statistical tools accessible to students, business professionals, and policymakers, enabling more people to apply data-driven insights in their work. SPSS Helped Establish Predictive Analytics in Business The widespread adoption of SPSS in the 1990s played a crucial role in the development of

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? The Impact of High Tech AI and Robotics

As a technology-driven organization, EACOMM actively monitors emerging innovations poised to shape the future. The convergence of generative AI and robotics is on track to turn science fiction into reality within the next decade. Exploring works like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? can provide valuable insights into the ethical and philosophical challenges these technologies may present. By staying well informed of these developments, EACOMM aims to contribute to a responsible and sustainable technological future. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? In Philip K. Dick’s 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (From which the 1982 film BladeRunner was based), the line between human and artificial life blurs in a dystopian future where androids — indistinguishable from humans in appearance and behavior — are created to serve and sometimes subjugate the human population. As technology continues its rapid progression, questions once confined to the realm of science fiction are increasingly entering the realm of reality. The development of humanoid robots, androids, and generative AI is advancing at a breathtaking pace, and it is not far-fetched to imagine that within the next decade, these innovations could alter the fabric of society in profound ways. In the novel, the concept of “empathy” is central to distinguishing humans from androids. Empathy, in this context, is portrayed as a uniquely human trait that allows individuals to connect with and care for one another. The protagonist, Rick Deckard, is a bounty hunter tasked with “retiring” rogue androids who have fled to Earth. As the story unfolds, Deckard faces moral dilemmas surrounding the nature of life, consciousness, and the boundaries between human and machine. These questions of what it means to be truly “alive” resonate more now than ever, as robots and AI systems approach human-like qualities. The convergence of AI and robotics technologies in the coming years will not only bring androids to life but will also redefine the very nature of work, interaction, and even the human experience. As we stand on the precipice of this technological revolution, it is important to explore how these developments might unfold, the ethical challenges they pose, and how they could change our daily lives. The Convergence of Generative AI and Robotics The first step in the potential advent of humanoid robots and androids is the development of robots that can physically mimic human movements. Over the past few years, breakthroughs in robotics have seen machines that can walk, run, and even perform intricate tasks with a level of dexterity that was once thought to be exclusive to humans. Companies like Boston Dynamics, Honda, and Tesla are leading the charge in developing robots with human-like capabilities. For instance, Boston Dynamics’ “Atlas” robot, with its advanced mobility, agility, and ability to navigate diverse environments, represents a significant leap in humanoid robotics. At the same time, artificial intelligence is progressing rapidly, providing these robots with the ability to not only move but also think, reason, and learn. While AI-powered robots have been deployed in various industries, the goal is to develop robots that can interact with humans in a more natural and intuitive way. The dream of creating robots with human-like intelligence, emotions, and even creativity is now on the horizon. This Humanoid Robot from Chinese company Unitree is available for sale today for USD 16,000.00 according to this link: https://shop.unitree.com/ The fusion of AI and robotics will bring about humanoid robots capable of performing a variety of tasks — from domestic assistance to caregiving, and even complex industrial work. The key challenge, however, lies in developing robots that not only look like humans but can also mimic the subtleties of human communication and empathy. Just as in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the question remains: Can these machines truly understand human emotions and form connections with humans, or are they merely mimicking empathy as a programmed response? The ethical implications of these developments are profound. As robots become more human-like, questions surrounding rights, agency, and the treatment of these machines will arise. Will androids be seen as tools to be used for human benefit, or will they be granted some form of personhood or autonomy? These are the questions that society will need to grapple with as humanoid robots become more integrated into everyday life. Generative AI: Machines that Create While humanoid robots are designed to perform physical tasks, another major technological leap is the rise of generative AI — machines that can create content, make decisions, and perform cognitive functions that were once thought to be the sole domain of humans. Generative AI systems, such as OpenAI’s GPT-3 and its successors, are capable of producing realistic human-like text, art, music, and even code. These AI systems are trained on vast datasets, learning patterns and structures to generate content that can mimic the creativity of human beings. Ai-Da is the world’s first ultra-realistic robot artist, blending electronic, AI, and human inputs to create unique artworks, including drawings, performance art, and collaborative pieces. Ai-Da’s artwork “A.I. God”, a portrait of Alan Turing, sold for $1.1 million at Sotheby’s on November 7, 2024, far exceeding its estimate of $120,000 to $180,000, breaking records for art created by a humanoid robot. In the context of humanoid robots and androids, generative AI will play a crucial role in enabling these machines to process information, interact with people, and even make decisions. For example, a humanoid robot powered by generative AI could hold conversations, solve problems, and assist with tasks that require critical thinking. The AI would not simply respond to commands, but would actively engage with humans, offering solutions and insights in real time. Moreover, generative AI could also enhance the way robots interact with their environments. By processing sensory input from their surroundings, AI systems could enable robots to adapt to changing circumstances, solve new problems, and learn from experience. This level of cognitive flexibility could make robots far more useful in a variety of industries, from healthcare to education, to manufacturing and logistics. As AI continues to evolve,

Recognized as an award-winning content management system, DO-CMS has powered hundreds of websites across industries, thanks to its robust and customizable architecture and feature-rich environment. With the release of version 5.4, the platform continues to raise the bar by introducing a Headless .NET CMS edition—an exciting leap for developers seeking improved flexibility, performance, and security. The Evolution of DO-CMS DO-CMS has come a long way from its original design. When it was first launched, the platform catered to organizations seeking a customizable and scalable CMS solution for their online presence. Over the years, it has been refined to meet modern web standards and adapt to evolving content management demands. The 5.0 edition marked a significant shift by transforming DO-CMS into a headless CMS, providing users with more flexibility in how they manage, deliver, and present content. What Is a Headless .NET CMS? A headless CMS decouples the content management backend from the frontend presentation layer. In a traditional CMS, the backend and frontend are tightly integrated, meaning the CMS controls how content is displayed. A headless CMS, by contrast, stores and delivers content via APIs without imposing any restrictions on how or where the content is presented. This allows developers to use any frontend technology they prefer (React, Angular, Vue.js, etc.), giving them the freedom to create rich, dynamic user experiences. Built using .NET, a Headless .NET CMS is a feasible solution for enterprise and organizations fully invested in the Microsoft plaftorm. Key Advantages of a Headless CMS DO-CMS 5.4: A .NET CMS The release of DO-CMS 5.4, which introduces the .NET edition, opens up a new chapter for the platform. Built on Microsoft’s popular.NET framework, this edition brings several benefits to developers and organizations alike: 1. Performance Boost with .NET The .NET framework is known for its high performance, especially in web applications. By leveraging .NET’s optimized memory management, background compilation, and just-in-time (JIT) compilation, DO-CMS 5.4 ensures faster page loads and a smoother overall experience. 2. Strong Security Features Security is a major focus in the .NET edition of DO-CMS. The platform now includes enhanced security protocols such as built-in encryption, advanced authentication features, and role-based access controls. Additionally, Microsoft’s extensive security patches and updates provide continuous protection against vulnerabilities. 3. Cross-Platform Support One of the major advantages of using .NET Core is its cross-platform compatibility. With the .NET edition, developers can deploy DO-CMS on Windows, macOS, or Linux environments, making it more versatile and adaptable to different development workflows. 4. Seamless Integration with Enterprise Tools The .NET edition of DO-CMS allows for seamless integration with Microsoft’s suite of enterprise tools, including Azure, Power BI, and Active Directory. This makes it an attractive choice for businesses already using Microsoft’s ecosystem, as it ensures streamlined workflows and easy data integration. 5. Optimized API-Driven Development With its headless structure and .NET framework, DO-CMS 5.4 optimizes API-driven development. The system’s APIs are faster, more responsive, and compatible with most modern development frameworks. This means that building highly dynamic and personalized user interfaces is easier and more efficient. 6.

PRISM Responder: Incident and Hazard Reporting App Powered by AI

In the ever-evolving fields of risk management, safety, and insurance, professionals are constantly seeking tools that can streamline their workflows and enhance their effectiveness. Enter PRISM Responder, a cutting-edge mobile application specifically designed for incident and hazard reporting. Conceptualized and designed by Mr. Daniel Barlicos, a veteran with over 44 years of experience in risk management and insurance programming, and developed by EACOMM Corporation, the Philippines’ premier custom software developer, this app promises to transform how professionals respond to and manage risks on-site. Meet the Visionary Behind PRISM Mr. Daniel Barlicos brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the design of PRISM (Predictive Risk, Insurance, and Safety Management) system. With specialized competencies in employee benefits consulting, behavior-based safety, loss control management, and insurance brokerage, he has spent decades refining a universal risk management system. PRISM integrates seven key risk management disciplines: Enterprise Risk Management, Business Continuity Management, Crisis Management, Compliance Risk Management, Portfolio Risk Management, Loss Control and Safety Management, and Insurance and Claims Management. Developed by the Philippines’ Premier Developer EACOMM Corporation, the Philippines’ leading custom software developer, partnered with Mr. Barlicos to bring PRISM Responder to life. With over 20 years of experience serving Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and top educational institutions, EACOMM Corporation has a proven track record of delivering high-quality applications and systems. The Power of PRISM PRISM Responder is part of the PRISM array of applications designed to ease the work of professionals in Enterprise Risk Management, Loss Control and Safety Management, and Insurance and Claims Management. While these applications are valuable individually, they become even more powerful when integrated into a single enterprise-wide system. This integration connects all workflows, allowing organizations to perform all risk management functions on one platform with a unified database. Tailored for Filipino Professionals, Ready for the World PRISM has been developed with Filipino risk, safety, and insurance managers in mind, working across various industry categories.
