Скачать или смотреть Beyond the Stack: Why Vertical Abstractions Drive Enterprise Value | WSO2 Technology Conference 2026

Mifan Careem
Senior Vice President / General Manager | WSO2


In this insightful talk, the speaker explores the evolution of technology through the lens of abstraction, using the history of digital mapping and Google Maps as a powerful metaphor. From complex, manual processes like GIS layering or paper maps to seamless experiences with Uber and autonomous "Robo-taxis," the session highlights a fundamental shift in how technology delivers value.

✨ Key Highlights:

🔹 The Power of Abstraction – Tools like Kubernetes, AWS, and Ballerina simplify infrastructure, letting developers focus on higher-order problems.

🔹 Business Value Conversation – Technical features like uptime or multi-region gateways are reframed as real business wins, such as uninterrupted patient care or handling Black Friday traffic peaks.

🔹 The Agentic Enterprise – AI and agentic workflows are the ultimate abstraction, requiring integrated systems to achieve up to 17x productivity gains.

🔹 Case Studies – Examples from banking and healthcare show how reducing manual processes—like partner onboarding or insurance claims—directly impacts the bottom line.

💡 By shifting focus from "core technology" to business outcomes, organizations can bridge the gap between technical capability and tangible success in the age of AI.
