ClearTech Loop: In the Know, On the Move

Hybrid Integration in the Era of AI: Real Enterprise Use Cases

ClearTech Research / Jo Peterson Season 1 Episode 23

Enterprises are not trying to modernize in a vacuum. They are running mission-critical workloads on mainframes and ERPs, while also deploying cloud apps, SaaS platforms, and mobile services at scale. Now leaders are expected to layer in AI without disrupting operations. 

Hybrid integration is how they do it. 

In this ClearTech Loop special edition sponsored by IBM webMethods, Jo Peterson breaks down real-world integration patterns and what IT leaders need to enable AI-ready operations across legacy, cloud, and SaaS environments. 

Topics include: 

  • Modernizing legacy systems without disruption 
  • Wrapping core systems with APIs for real-time access 
  • Connecting cloud platforms and on-prem applications 
  • Managing event-driven automation and data unification 
  • Treating APIs as digital products with governance and scale 
  • Why a hybrid control plane matters for AI outcomes 

Hybrid integration is not a temporary bridge. It is the operating model for the AI era.
