On October 20, 2026, in Lucca, Italy, Akeron presented the agentic evolution of Tarko, its software for project-based companies. The platform has been redesigned so that people and AI agents work together on the same processes, in a governed environment and on certified data. The goal is to increase organizations’ productive capacity and free up resources to reinvest in growth.
Re-evolution: a change in operating model
With Re-evolution, the theme of the launch, Akeron points to a change in the way people work, even before a change in technology. Artificial intelligence takes part in executing tasks and in decision-making, and people gain time for higher-value work.
The management view: AI’s value is the potential it unlocks
“For thirty years, enterprise software has recorded the business. Today it can reason and act alongside people, profoundly changing the way we create value,” said Manuel Vellutini, Co-CEO of Akeron. “The right question isn’t how much an AI agent costs, but how much potential it can unlock. That means increasing productive capacity, making the most of people’s skills and freeing up resources to reinvest in growth. The real value of AI isn’t just doing the same things more efficiently, but making possible what wasn’t possible before.”
For Marco Pierallini, Co-CEO of Akeron, “our core technology choice was to use AI where it adds value, and only there.” The choice of language model also remains with the customer: “The architecture is open to multiple LLMs and brings Tarko data into the AI assistants and work tools people already use, all the way to WhatsApp, with the same permissions and the same traceability. That is what makes an agentic platform reliable and governable, even as agents work with greater autonomy.”
What Tarko’s agentic evolution is built on
The evolution rests on two foundations. The first is an architecture in which agents operate within processes under the same rules, permissions and traceability as people. The second is a data model that captures twenty years of experience with real-world projects. Tarko also integrates with the ERP, CRM and HCM solutions companies already use, without requiring them to be replaced. Learn more about Tarko
Tarko User Day in Lucca
The launch took place at the Complesso di San Francesco in Lucca during Tarko User Day “Re-evolution.” Some 150 Akeron customers attended, along with experts and representatives of the software industry, including Assosoftware and the Project Management Institute Central Italy Chapter, as well as the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca. Akeron plans to continue with the same approach, building the agentic experience of Tarko together with the companies that use it.
