The Wave Group: agentic orchestration with watsonx Orchestrate across fragmented enterprise systems

Wave Group implemented an agentic orchestration pattern using IBM watsonx Orchestrate to layer intelligence across existing systems, connect 11 enterprise data sources through API-driven integration, and create a governed data foundation for structured and unstructured data. The architecture uses domain-specific AI agents to route queries, reason across functions, and provide role-based, source-grounded responses without replacing SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, and other core systems.

Architecture

A layered hybrid orchestration architecture on IBM watsonx platform. watsonx Orchestrate serves as the intelligence coordination layer over existing SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, Microsoft Project, SuccessFactors, and other domain systems. Data from 11 core sources is abstracted through standardized APIs into a governed foundation using IBM Cloud Object Storage and watsonx.data, then activated by domain-specific AI agents that route queries, reason across functions, and deliver role-based, source-grounded responses with governance, explainability, validation, and human oversight.
