Cross-Portfolio Customer Panel: AI Beyond the Hype - Wins, Risks, and What Comes Next
 

AI is rapidly reshaping how enterprises build, test, secure, and deliver software, but the reality is far more nuanced than the headlines. In this candid cross-portfolio customer panel, technology leaders from across the software delivery ecosystem will share where AI is delivering measurable value, where expectations have fallen short, and the operational, financial, and organizational challenges emerging along the way. From ROI and rising costs to workforce impact, investment priorities, and the risks that keep leaders up at night, this discussion will explore what it truly takes to navigate AI at enterprise scale.

10:00 AM - 12:15 PM
Breakout Room 1: Unified Compliance
Ron Hoffner

Join Ron Hoffner, VP of Product at Perforce Software, to explore how organizations can stay in control as compliance demands grow more complex across the software development lifecycle.

As regulatory requirements expand and infrastructure becomes more distributed and interconnected, maintaining compliance is becoming increasingly costly and difficult, further compounded by the pace of modern development. Unified Compliance addresses this challenge as a centralized trust layer, enabling policy enforcement across code, infrastructure, testing, and data, along with continuous evidence collection and end-to-end traceability.

Built on capabilities from Puppet, Delphix, and Perforce IPLM / Perforce P4 (Helix Core), this session will highlight how teams can reduce the burden of compliance while strengthening visibility, auditability, and control across their development processes.

Breakout Room 2: Autonomous Testing
Stephen Feloney

Join Stephen Feloney, VP of Product, Continuous Testing at Perforce Software, for a focused discussion on how organizations can keep pace with AI-driven development through Autonomous Testing, the validation layer for modern software delivery.

As applications are increasingly generated from requirements, Autonomous Testing enables teams to generate tests from application context, automatically provision compliant production-like environments, and continuously execute and adapt testing as systems evolve. Powered by innovations across BlazeMeter, Perfecto, and Delphix, this session will explore how leading teams are building confidence in what they ship, even as development becomes more autonomous.

12:15 PM - 1:30 PM
Working Lunch: The AI-Driven Evolution of the SDLC
 
 
1:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Breakout Room 1: Code
Brent Schiestl

Join us for an engaging breakout session focused on the evolving role of Version Control and IP Management in the AI lifecycle (AILC).

We’ll explore key areas including how to run AI agents with governance, auditability, and reproducibility. We’ll discuss our vision for IPLM governing agent inputs while P4 governs agent outputs. Along the way, we’ll cover the importance of measuring AI productivity, complying with emerging regulations such as the EU AI Act Article 53, and enforcing immutable audit trails.

Throughout the session, we’ll exchange perspectives, explore new ideas, and connect with peers tackling similar challenges, leaving with practical takeaways and a stronger understanding of what’s ahead.

Breakout Room 2: Quality
Stephen Feloney

Join us for a collaborative breakout session centered on the future of testing and quality in an AI-driven world. Grounded in your priorities, we’ll kick off with a discussion around what your organization is aiming to achieve over the next year, and how testing strategies are evolving to support those goals.

We’ll then dive into a discussion around Autonomous Testing, exploring what capabilities exist today and what’s on the horizon across BlazeMeter and Perfecto. From current state to future direction, we’ll focus on how testing is becoming more intelligent, adaptive, and aligned to modern development practices.

Throughout the session, we’ll gather your feedback, exchange perspectives, and surface what matters most as testing continues to evolve, helping shape the roadmap while uncovering new approaches to drive quality and speed.

Breakout Room 3: Data
Brian Muskoff

Join us for an interactive breakout session designed to shape the future of data, together. Throughout this session, your insights, challenges, and priorities will help inform the direction of Delphix innovation.

We’ll explore key areas including the Agentic Data Platform and its role in powering AI-ready data workflows, the evolution of Continuous Compliance across structured and unstructured data, and emerging approaches to Synthetic Data for AI training and testing. We’ll also discuss ephemeral cloud databases and Continuous Data, and how these capabilities are transforming modern data operations.

Along the way, you’ll have opportunities to share perspectives, react to new ideas, and connect with peers navigating similar challenges, walking away with fresh insights and a clearer view of what’s ahead.

Breakout Room 4: Infrastructure
Ron Hoffner

Join us for an interactive breakout session focused on how organizations can achieve continuous compliance across all infrastructure, from traditional environments to the edge and beyond. Your perspectives will help shape how Puppet continues to evolve in an increasingly complex, distributed world.

We’ll explore how teams are maintaining control across air-gapped environments, sovereign cloud requirements, and connected devices, from retail point-of-sale systems to industrial operations. We’ll also look ahead to managing compliance in Kubernetes environments as organizations transition from VMs, and what’s next as AI agents become part of the infrastructure landscape.

Along the way, share how you’re approaching compliance today, where challenges are emerging, and what capabilities matter most as environments grow more dynamic, so you can keep systems secure, compliant, and ready for what’s next.
