June 12, 2026 3 MIN

The rise of Agentic AI is creating a significant new opportunity for the applications layer. While large language models have captured much of the attention, we believe the future value of AI will depend on how intelligence is embedded into enterprise workflows.

In this video, Robert F. Smith shares his views on AI in enterprise software, the role of proprietary data, trusted customer relationships and deeply integrated workflows in unlocking the next wave of value creation. He also offers insight into the Vista Equity Partners AI Outlook for 2026 and his perspective on how Agentic AI will reshape the software industry.
