Minneapolis, MN, 06/30/2026 – Perforce Agentic Gateway provides an orchestration layer for the AI-Driven Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC) to control token consumption and ensure compliance across MCPs.

Minneapolis, MN, June 30, 2026 — Perforce Software, the modern DevOps Tech Stack that ensures AI control, announced major updates to Perforce Intelligence, with an MCP-agnostic agentic gateway, an AI-assisted testing and natural language execution platform, and a unified compliance platform. First-to-market capabilities include unified functional, performance, and mobile testing with a single prompt, allowing even business users to write automation test cases, and the ability to take written security policies and enforce them continuously across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.

Together, the solutions address the control and trust dilemma of the AI-DLC in highly regulated industries and enterprise environments. Core releases include:

Perforce Agentic Gateway: An AI orchestration layer that reduces token consumption and can be used to manage third-party MCPs for compliance. In a single install, the gateway can integrate Perforce MCPs, making it easier to govern AI where software is built and delivered – across code, IP, data, infrastructure and testing.
Perforce Autonomous Testing: Non-testers describe what they want to validate in natural language through a single chat interface, and AI executes. Companies gain continuous agent-driven validation across functional, performance, and mobile testing with a consolidated test experience.
Perforce Unified Compliance: An intelligence layer that automates the path from a policy to enforcement across your infrastructure, ensuring continuous compliance and evidence collection.
As enterprises move from AI experimentation to production-scale deployment, executives and IT leaders are facing growing pressure to deliver measurable business outcomes while maintaining control over increasingly complex and sometimes costly AI ecosystems. A 2026 survey from The Harris Poll, commissioned by Dataiku, of over 900 CEOs across geographical regions, found “80% of CEOs say their role will be at risk if their company fails to deliver measurable business gains from Al by the end of 2026.” The lack of clear visibility into where AI is being used, how it’s making decisions, how to optimize costs, and whether outputs meet security, compliance, and quality requirements creates operational, regulatory, and business risks that limit AI's value within software delivery.

"Scaling AI across the software delivery lifecycle or AI lifecycle introduces new challenges around orchestration, governance, and compliance. Further, the need to prove AI ROI is no longer only a technology question but also an executive and board member need. There's a lot of money being spent with AI, but the next evolution needs to be on ROI of AI, which can only be measured if you have control mechanisms in place and visibility into what it's doing," said Jim Mercer, Program Vice President, IDC. "Perforce's vision for Perforce Intelligence reflects the industry's shift toward more connected, governed, and autonomous software delivery environments with better visibility and impact to a business."

“The future of AI in the enterprise will be defined by how effectively organizations can control, scale, and operationalize AI workflows, models, and deliver real business results with clear visibility and traceability,” said Anjali Arora, CTO of Perforce. “Having worked with some of the biggest enterprises and highly regulated industries that need both scalability and control, Perforce is uniquely positioned to be that control plane. The latest iterations of Perforce Intelligence are steps to bring both control and speed with the AI-DLC.”
