IBM Corp. announced Thursday the launch of three new artificial intelligence (AI) agents now available through the Oracle Fusion Applications AI Agent Marketplace in the latest push by the tech giants to help enterprise customers raise operational efficiency via automation.
The agents, built with Oracle AI Agent Studio, are intended to automate critical business processes within Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. IBM Consulting also plans to release additional agents for human resources and supply chain management to serve customers across multiple industries.
“As AI agents rapidly transform enterprise applications, organizations are seeking new ways to drive productivity, agility, and innovation at scale,” Kaushal Kurapati, general vice president of product management for Fusion AI at Oracle Corp., said in a statement. “The new IBM AI agents in the Oracle AI Agent Marketplace, seamlessly built with Oracle AI Agent Studio, will help customers to address their unique business needs and drive growth with speed and confidence.”
The three Oracle-validated agents address specific pain points in enterprise workflows.
The Intercompany Agent automates the review of intercompany agreements, while the Smart Sales Order Entry Agent streamlines the sales-order creation process by generating relevant data needed for the order-to-cash workflow. A third agent, the Requisition to Contract Agent, handles the complex process of converting purchase requisitions into contract purchase orders.
Neil Dhar, global managing partner of IBM Consulting, framed the partnership as a convergence of complementary strengths. “Oracle and IBM are combining our collective enterprise AI and business transformation expertise to help clients embrace agentic AI as a driver of innovation and competitive advantage,” he said. “These new agents will bring the power of AI directly to our joint clients for the greatest potential impact on their business.”
IBM also announced plans to expand its presence within Oracle’s ecosystem with the release of supply chain and HR agents in the coming months. These agents will be built on IBM watsonx Orchestrate, an enterprise-grade platform for developing, deploying, and governing AI agents. The technology runs on Red Hat OpenShift AI and functions as a multi-agent supervisor capable of orchestrating agents across both Oracle and non-Oracle applications and data sources.
Additionally, Oracle plans to make IBM’s Granite 4.0 family of AI models available through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Data Science, further deepening technological integration between the two companies.
