As AI Outpaces Companies’ Ability to Manage It, Axway Gives Enterprises Control of What Their AI Does and What It Costs

Proven in regulated industries, the new Amplify Platform governs AI end to end, so companies can account for every AI model, API, and agent they run

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (Nov. 12, 2026) – Enterprises are racing to put AI to work, but many still can't account for what it costs or how it uses company data to make decisions across disparate systems. Today Axway, a 74Software company (Euronext: 74SW) trusted by more than 4,000 organizations, introduced Amplify Platform to close that gap. The platform gives enterprises, including those in highly regulated industries, a foundation to securely connect, govern and orchestrate the APIs, integrations, AI models and agents that power their digital businesses. Axway already secures and connects the data behind companies including Dun & Bradstreet, Acerta, Alaska Airlines, and Humana.

Companies aren’t waiting for regulators to set AI rules. They want answers ready when boards and customers start asking questions, so they’re writing their own. In an EY survey of senior executives at large U.S. public companies, 98% said their organization had formal AI governance policies, yet 47% said their organization had not followed its governance process for urgent deployments. In Europe, those questions now come with regulators attached: enforcement powers for certain provisions of the EU AI Act began applying in August 2026. As AI systems access customer records and act on company systems, governance questions are getting harder to answer. Often there’s no record of what it touched or how it reached a result.

Meanwhile, costs are climbing just as fast, with business spending on AI tokens growing 497% between January 2025 and April 2026 alone. Much of that spending, however, is avoidable. AI systems often start from scratch on questions they’ve already answered for other users. Simple tasks also run on premium models, which now account for more than half of business token spending. Many companies see the full cost only when the bill arrives.

Rather than managing AI governance, costs, API management and integration with separate tools, Amplify Platform brings it all together for the business-critical systems enterprises have long trusted Axway to secure and govern. Companies can start wherever their AI program stands. A business already running AI but struggling with governance can start there. One whose core systems can’t yet feed data to AI can start by connecting them.

Amplify Platform's four capabilities each answer a problem enterprises are running into now:

When AI spending and decisions go unchecked. A common scenario is that an AI pilot starts with a modest budget. Within months, dozens of teams may be calling several models, and agents can add thousands more calls on their own. Without oversight, the bill can grow and no one can trace how a result was produced. Amplify Platform’s AI Control Plane governs every AI request in one place. It records which model answered, what data it used, and who asked. It also sends simple requests to lower-cost models and reuses answers the company already paid for. Axway estimates that enterprises could reduce token spending by 30% to 40%.

When AI reaches data it was never meant to see. An AI agent is only as useful as the information it can reach. If it’s given open access, a single bad request can expose customer records or trigger a fine. Amplify Platform’s API Management gives AI agents access to approved data and services through secure APIs while helping companies limit exposure to sensitive information. It works across the API gateways companies already run, independent of who originally built them.

When AI can't reach the systems that run the business. Many companies run AI, but it can't see the core systems where their most valuable data lives. The AI works, but its value stays small. Integration Fabric connects AI to the applications and data companies rely on, including legacy systems. Companies add AI without replacing what they already run.

When every team builds its own AI tools. As AI spreads, teams rebuild the same services and no one has a full list of what exists. Engagement Portal gives employees and AI agents one catalog of approved APIs and AI services. Companies can also make those services available to partners and customers, creating opportunities to generate new revenue.

Amplify Platform runs where companies need it: in the cloud, on-premises, in a sovereign cloud, or in a fully air-gapped environment. As more countries set data residency rules, deployment flexibility matters beyond Europe. For global companies, it can help support different regional requirements.

"Most companies discover their AI problem the way travelers discover roaming charges, when the bill arrives," said Mourad Jaakou, Vice President and General Manager, Amplify Platform, at Axway. "By then, the money is spent. Often no one can explain where it went or what data the AI touched. Companies that build governance in from the start can move faster and reduce the need to retrofit controls later. We built Amplify Platform so enterprises can say yes to AI and still answer for every decision and every dollar."

Shaped by Axway’s decades of work with highly regulated organizations, Amplify serves enterprises whether they’re regulated or not, and companies are already using it to manage AI across their operations.

“AI models are quickly becoming a commodity. The real work is connecting them to the right data and systems, with the right controls,” said Christoph Berentzen, Cluster Lead Business Connectivity, Commerzbank. “As AI continues to evolve, having a secure and well-governed foundation becomes increasingly important. Working with Axway, we are strengthening that foundation so we can embrace new opportunities with confidence.”

Existing Axway customers can keep their current products, contracts, and deployments and add Amplify Platform capabilities as their AI needs grow. Enterprises can explore Amplify Platform, book a demo, or take a tour here.
