Move from AI Ambition to Governed Enterprise Execution
AI is changing how enterprises build software, modernize data, automate operations, and create intelligent experiences. But moving from promising pilots to production still requires the right architecture, governance, domain context, and operating model.
Tavant offers a third path beyond the traditional build-versus-buy choice: platform-powered acceleration with the ownership and flexibility of custom software. Tavant Platform™ combines AIgnite™ agentic engineering tools, an optional governed runtime, and modular domain and automation components to help enterprises move faster, manage risk, and avoid permanent platform lock-in.
At Ai4 2026, see how Tavant turns enterprise AI strategy into scalable execution across software engineering, application modernization, data, AI/ML, automation, and IT operations.
Booth #321

On-Stage Session
Join Dr. Olav Laudy for a practical look at the software decision beyond build versus buy - and how AI coding agents are changing the economics of custom development.
What We’re Bringing to Ai4 2026
Agentic Software Engineering
Accelerate software development with AI-powered builders and agents spanning requirements, code, testing, documentation, and delivery.
Application Modernization
Modernize complex legacy systems through behavior-first analysis, agent-driven transformation, and continuous validation of business logic.
Data Modernization and AI/ML
Create governed data pipelines and trusted, explainable models faster - from business brief through engineering, deployment, and DataOps.
Enterprise Automation and Autonomous Operations
Build production-ready agents and automate enterprise workflows and IT operations with human approval gates, traceability, observability, and control.

The Software Decision Beyond Build vs. Buy
Tuesday, August 4 | 12:20-12:40 pm
Venue: Palazzo Ballroom G
Track: CIO & CAIO Track
What if the most consequential AI decision is not which model or tool you select, but which software path you commit your organization to for years to come?
This session is designed for CIOs, CAIOs, enterprise architects, technology leaders, and engineering executives evaluating how to build and scale AI-enabled software. Dr. Olav Laudy will examine the expanding spectrum between buying and building – including SaaS, established platforms, AI-native products, low-code environments, and custom development – and show how AI coding agents are reshaping the trade-offs.
Key Takeaways:
- Where SaaS, platforms, AI-native products, low-code, and custom development create the most value
- How customization, ecosystem dependency, and vendor lock-in affect long-term cost and control
- Why AI coding agents improve the economics of custom software without eliminating the need for architecture, governance, domain expertise, and engineering continuity
Leave with a practical framework for choosing a software path that balances speed, flexibility, governance, ownership, and long-term adaptability.
