The enterprise technology landscape stands at a fracture point. We are migrating from digitization—where software was a tool wielded by human hands—to agentic autonomy, where synthetic intelligence functions as a sovereign execution layer.
This shift is not merely technical; it is ontological. In the previous era, a process was a sequence of human actions assisted by compute. In the emerging era, a process is a computed outcome governed by human intent.
Current vendors market "Digital Employees" that mimic human constraints (clicking buttons, reading screens). This framing creates a conceptual ceiling. A workforce is subject to linear time and scales by adding "heads."
