Deloitte launches agentic AI network
The big four firm has developed an agentic AI network that will help businesses build and deploy AI agents and transform their operations.
Deloitte has announced the launch of its Global Agentic Network which will help organisations expand and deploy digital workforces.
The Global Agentic Network leverages Deloitte’s expansive global alliances to create a connected ecosystem of AI business agent solutions, to augment and automate client operations.
Deloitte explained that AI agents are able to execute human tasks, orchestrate workflows, processes, and activities autonomously and think intelligently through interactions with humans and other agents.
"By leveraging reasoning through large language models, AI agents can learn and adapt over time to make informed decisions and achieve specific outcomes," the firm said.
"Deloitte’s Global Agentic Network is designed to leverage Deloitte’s extensive industry experience and business knowledge to help organisations design, build, deploy, and run AI agents, transforming their operations and the industries in which they work."
Deloitte chief strategy and transformation officer Paul Rehder said agentic AI was developing at a rapid rate and that the firm saw huge transformational potential for its clients.
"Deloitte’s Global Agentic Network can help organisations deploy digital workforces with confidence and impact," Rehder said.
The new network, he added, would enable businesses to seamlessly integrate AI agents, regardless of sector, bridging the gap between automation and true autonomy.
Rehder said the network would leverage Deloitte's audit and assurance, tax and legal, strategy, risk and transactions and technology and transformation businesses and its deep industry knowledge.
"Deloitte is in a unique position to deliver sophisticated agentic AI solutions that help boost client productivity, drive efficiency and deliver new ways of working," he said.
Through the agentic network, Deloitte is now providing services to build AI agents on various software platforms across Deloitte’s broader ecosystem, including the recent Deloitte US launch of Zora AI, which offers a suite of ready-to-deploy agents that perceive, reason, and act—autonomously executing complex business functions with speed and accuracy.
According to a Gartner analysis, 33 per cent of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI by 2028, up significantly from where it stood in 2024, at less than 1 per cent.
Additionally, the latest State of Generative AI in the Enterprise survey from the Deloitte AI Institute reveals that 26 per cent of surveyed organisations are already exploring autonomous agent development to a large or very large extent.
Agentic AI to transform professional services industry
Deloitte said the rise of agentic AI also marks a transformative era for the professional services industry, with its ability to move into services once dominated exclusively by human specialisation, such as strategic decision-making, system implementations, creative problem-solving and complex negotiations.
The firm said this represents a remarkable opportunity for it to integrate AI into its own operations and enhance learning and development for its people.
By embedding domain-specific knowledge into AI-powered workflows, Deloitte said it will be able to move beyond the traditional service model to scale specialisation, accelerate outcomes, and deliver enhanced, measurable impact.
Deloitte Australia national GenAI lead Stu Scotis said Deloitte was on the path to becoming an AI-fuelled organisation by 2030, embedding AI into its work and the services it offers.
"The Agentic Network is a critical part of this journey that is ultimately transforming our business, enabling us to scale our experience and build credibility as we assist our clients with their own transformational journeys with speed, precision and creativity."
