Agentic AI requires a new 'forward-deployed engineering' (FDE) model, embedding engineers with enterprise customers to integrate AI into complex business workflows. This role combines engineering, data, cloud, security and operational ownership, shifting focus from model performance to governed, production-ready systems.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Selling agentic AI to enterprise is no longer about shipping software; it's about providing an embedded engineering service. Your 'forward-deployed engineer' is now your most important product, responsible for making your AI work inside the client's business.
