Colt McNealy Speaks at Constellation's AI Forum

On March 26, 2026, Constellation Research published coverage of Colt McNealy's remarks at its AI Forum in Silicon Valley, focusing on Business-as-Code, AI agents, and the role of orchestration in enterprise systems.

In the Constellation Research writeup, McNealy argued that enterprises need context, guardrails, and deterministic workflows around AI agents rather than treating agents as unconstrained orchestrators. The discussion highlighted a core LittleHorse thesis: agents are most effective when they operate inside codified, observable business processes instead of inventing those processes on the fly.

The article also covered LittleHorse's view that the underlying enterprise problem has remained consistent across microservices, SaaS systems, and agentic AI: orchestration. Business-as-Code gives teams a way to define end-to-end processes in code, execute them durably, and extract operational insight from the resulting workflows.

It was a busy week for our founder, who also spoke about Business-as-Code at the JavaOne Community Keynote on the same day.
