How Denodo and Amazon SageMaker Deliver a Data Foundation for Agentic AI

This article explains how Denodo and Amazon SageMaker deliver a data foundation for agentic AI, addressing the critical bottleneck of data access and governance rather than model selection.

• Data management, not AI models, is the primary bottleneck preventing enterprise AI success
• Denodo Platform establishes a unified semantic layer providing governed access to 200+ distributed data sources
• AI agents gain real-time access to live data across AWS and non-AWS systems without requiring data replication
• Solution includes fine-grained security, dynamic data masking, and end-to-end data lineage across hybrid environments
• Five-layer architecture: unified connectivity, AWS integration, metadata synchronization, semantic governance, and AI consumption
• Pan-African bank case study: migrated 4PB to AWS in 3 months with 70-90% reduction in integration effort
• Enables fraud detection, clinical decision support, and drug safety monitoring use cases

Organizations combining Denodo with AWS AI services achieve faster insights, reduced data movement costs, and regulatory compliance at scale.
