AGENDA
17:00 – 17:30 | Welcome & Networking
17:30 – 18:00 | Opening Remarks
Ovidiu Sutac, Managing Director, EPAM Romania
Julien Grout, Head of Strategy & Governance SCOR
18:00 – 18:45 | Impact of AI in System Design - Shift from Deterministic to Probabilistic Architecture
Florin Mihai, Enterprise Architect II, EPAM Romania
Gabriel Manolache, Head of AI Engineering Enablement, SCOR
For decades, Enterprise Architects built systems on absolute certainties: if input is X, output is always Y. AI shatters this blueprint. In a probabilistic world, systems generate answers based on statistical likelihoods, not rigid code. This topic explores how to architect resilient, enterprise-scale systems that embrace uncertainty, manage non-deterministic risks, and integrate unpredictable AI models into mission-critical transaction engines.
18:45 – 19:30 | Networking Break
19:30 – 20:00 | Governing AI at Scale: How We Control and Optimize Azure & OpenAI with an Internal Developer Portal
Ciprian Pop, Senior Systems Engineer, EPAM Romania
As AI adoption grows, managing visibility, governance, and cost becomes increasingly complex. In this session, we’ll share how we use our Internal Developer Portal, to control AI resources across Azure, OpenAI, and AI Foundry. You’ll learn how we apply governance rules, and custom reporting to enforce security, ensure compliance, and gain full visibility—while also introducing cost insights bycorrelating token usage with pricing. A practical look at how to scale AI responsibly, balancing innovation with control.
