Presentation: Architecting AI Systems for the Messy Reality of Enterprises: Why Agentic Compute is the Missing Layer

Deutsche Telekom's LMOS shows what enterprise agents look like at scale—and why most platforms are building it wrong.

Why it matters

A practitioner presentation on production agentic architecture reveals the missing layer between chatbots and operational intelligence: ephemeral agents, platform abstractions, and Agent Definition Language (ADL) as the bridge between organizational silos and autonomous workflows.

The key facts

11 to know
  1. Deutsche Telekom deployed LMOS as production agentic platform

  2. Focus on ephemeral agents for operational intelligence (not persistent chatbots)

  3. Agent Definition Language (ADL) as core abstraction for multi-team coordination

  4. Tool sprawl consolidation into platform abstractions identified as key blocker

  5. Organizational fault lines (between teams/domains) as architectural constraint

  6. Case study: Deutsche Telekom's LMOS (agentic platform in production)

  7. Key pattern: ephemeral agents replacing persistent tool chains

  8. Architecture concept: Agent Definition Language (ADL) as abstraction layer

  9. Problem addressed: organizational fault lines in enterprise agent deployment

  10. Transition from chatbots to operational intelligence systems

  11. Concept of 'agentic compute' as missing infrastructure layer
