A Playbook for Controlling Costs in the Agentic Enterprise

AI spending is one of the fastest-growing line items in enterprise IT budgets — and for many organizations, ROI still isn’t materializing. As agentic AI expands and token consumption grows, CFOs and finance leaders need a structured playbook for managing costs, in partnership with IT. This guide explains how Boomi helps organizations control AI expenses while building the governance foundation that makes continued investment worthwhile.

In this eBook, you’ll learn how to:

• Apply a systematic cost management playbook — including hybrid workflow design, model selection, and infrastructure-level governance — to bring financial discipline to AI spending
• Distinguish between deterministic and probabilistic processes to avoid deploying expensive agentic AI where traditional automation delivers the same result at a fraction of the cost
• Evaluate agent performance with industry-standard metrics to optimize for trustworthiness, accuracy, and cost per outcome, so agents do things right the first time
• Build an AI platform that gives finance and IT leaders consistent, comprehensive visibility into agent costs and performance across all models and vendors
