In this keynote presentation from InterSystems READY 2026 conference, Don Woodlock, President of InterSystems, discusses a simple but powerful insight: "There is no AI strategy without a data strategy. And there is no data strategy without an interoperability strategy." Don unpacks what this means in practice, introducing the concept of the AI Digital Backbone — a unified platform that organizes data, enables agentic AI to take real actions across enterprise systems, and provides the governance and security infrastructure needed to make AI safe and effective at scale.
