Welcome back to The Boardroom Memo, the NETCONOMY podcast where we cut through the noise on enterprise technology and focus on what actually moves the needle. In this episode, we step out of the proof-of-concept hype of previous years and firmly into the Agentic Era of 2026. What does it take to turn agentic AI technology into actual corporate value? Our host Leon Haider (Marketing Manager) is joined by NETCONOMY experts Boban Djordjevic (AI and Data Department Lead) and Maximilian Zollneritsch (Head of Technical Enablement). Together, they share their first-hand experiences from the field, dissecting why enterprise execution is less about "magic boxes" and more about robust infrastructure, microservices, and traditional software engineering governance. We dive deep into two tangible use cases showing real ROI: An internal deep-research agent built with the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) that automates complex pre-sales lead scoring –accomplishing in hours what used to take months of manual research. Practical external commerce applications, focusing on product data enrichment pipelines and integrated cart optimization agents that ditch boring chat bubbles for smarter, dynamic user experiences. Finally, our guests lay down the ultimate tech foundation on Google Cloud Vertex AI (Agent Platform) and its powerful synergy with SAP enterprise environments, ending with foundational advice for executives who want to kickstart their agentic journey tomorrow.
