Podcast appearances and mentions of jon reed

In collaboration with ASUG Talks, we bring you another live edition of "Ask us Anything," recorded on the SAP Sapphire show floor during the ASUG annual conference as well. After the day two keynote, ASUG CEO Geoff Scott, Josh Greenbaum and Jon Reed fielded questions from the live show floor audience. As expected, there were some doozies, and some curveballs. From AI skills imperatives to outcome-based pricing, to the infamous "magic genie to change SAP" question, the seats were hot and the convo was interesting. We took as many questions as we could before running out of time - but we'll take more questions during a summer follow-on in July. Note: this podcast has already been released on ASUG Talks. You may notice a few differences in the recordings, as I tend to go with a raw file, as is the tone of my channel.

Salesforce Connections 2026 had an ambitious narrative: apply agentic AI to turn marketers from bogged-down admins to "makers." But how did that narrative go over with attendees? And how do Salesforce customers achieve these changes and reduce marketing/sales pain points - even on older "heritage" releases? Does the fragmentation of enterprise data remain an obstacle? Jon Reed hashes out these questions and more with Rebecca Wettemann, who has done notable research through Valoir on CX data fragmentation. Can the two get to the bottom of the show on the clock, before their conference room time expires? We're about to find out...

After day one of Epicor Insights 2026, Jon Reed and usual suspect Brian Sommer hashed out what they learned in a vigorous day of keynotes, exec meetings and customer discussions. Epicor's ERP manufacturing bona fides are well known, but what is the impact of their Cognitive ERP push? Is the AI strategy differentiated? Does it line up with what customers need? An unexpected AI candor came out from the keynote stage, but how are Epicor customers faring in their own AI pursuits? Yes, it's time to dissect the "forward deployed engineers" buzzword...

At the tail end of SAP Sapphire Orlando, Jon Reed sat down in a semi-empty location with UKISUG Chair Conor Riordan to get his reactions to SAP's news, AI strategy and how customer value is changing. Amongst the hot topics Riordan brought up were: business cases and SAP's new AI migration tools (and Joule for Consultants). How impactful is this on business cases and customer AI adoption? Will partners/SIs make the shift? Where are we with public versus private cloud ERP? We also discuss Riordan's take on SAP's recent API policy changes - and how user groups got involved. Some back-and-forth on agentic accuracy and consumption pricing kept things lively as the event wrapped up. Note: after this conversation, Jon Reed talked with SAP's Philipp Herzig, who clarified that the ability to compare private and public cloud ERP readiness does already exist, and can likely be enhanced further, re: industry readiness assessments.

What do values and organizational truth have to do with AI success? In this episode of DisrupTV, Vala Afshar and R "Ray" Wang are joined by Paul Ingram, Columbia Business School professor and author of What Do You Really Stand For?, along with Jon Reed, co-founder of diginomica, for a deep conversation on leadership, AI, and the critical importance of context. Topics include: Why values are a leadership performance advantage The hidden “verification tax” hurting enterprise AI readiness Why the context layer may determine AI success or failure The limits of LLMs without governance and organizational truth How AI amplifies both clarity and dysfunction inside organizations This episode explores the intersection of human judgment, enterprise trust, and AI strategy—and why the future belongs to organizations that understand all three.

Send us Fan MailRecent announcements across the enterprise software ecosystem highlight a clear pivot toward agentic AI, ecosystem orchestration, and embedded intelligence within core business platforms. Salesforce is advancing this shift with MuleSoft Agent Fabric, enabling automated agent discovery, while ServiceNow is doubling down through expanded partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic to operationalize AI agents in mission-critical workflows. Strategic collaborations such as Cognizant partnering with Typeface and Uniphore further reinforce the growing importance of composable AI ecosystems. Meanwhile, application-layer innovation is accelerating, with Simpro Group expanding its AI-first platform via acquisition, Klaviyo integrating with ChatGPT, and Unanet and Aptean introducing automation and routing capabilities tailored to vertical use cases. At the same time, data and demand-generation players like Intentsify and Incubeta are embedding agentic capabilities into their offerings, collectively signaling a broader transformation: enterprise platforms are rapidly evolving into interconnected, AI-native environments where intelligent agents, data, and workflows operate as a unified system rather than siloed functions.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories. We covered many grounds, including the direction and roadmaps of each enterprise software vendor.

ServiceNow deepened its strategic collaboration with OpenAI, reinforcing the momentum behind AI-powered workflow automation across enterprise operations. In parallel, marketing and customer engagement platforms are embedding more autonomous decisioning capabilities, with Optimove introducing an AI content decisioning agent and RainFocus launching a new system designed to orchestrate complex event marketing workflows. Commerce and product discovery ecosystems are also evolving, as Algolia partnered with Microsoft to deliver real-time product data into AI-driven shopping experiences, while Tredence introduced agentic commerce accelerators aimed at modern digital retail environments. Meanwhile, infrastructure and AI platforms continue to attract significant investment and innovation: Cast AI achieved unicorn status through Kubernetes and AI cost optimization technology, Deepgram secured new funding to advance real-time speech intelligence, and IBM launched a cloud platform aligned with digital sovereignty requirements. Complementing these moves, Tasq AI merged with BLEND to build a trust layer for enterprise AI, while Teradata reported accelerating enterprise AI adoption with more than 150 engagements in 2025—further signaling how AI agents, real-time data platforms, and infrastructure innovation are converging to reshape the enterprise software landscape.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories.

Halfway through Oracle's AI World Tour in New York City, Jon Reed caught up with Rebecca Wettemann of Valoir to recap the highlights of what we heard so far. After discussing Valoir's new CX research - released as a separate podcast - we dig into Oracle's enterprise AI play, which is a bit of a neglected media story, lacking the sensational appeal of the market news Oracle has been in the middle of. We also discuss where Oracle CX goes from here, and what to make of Oracle's 22 new agentic apps - news which dropped a week before this event. Note: Jon will release deeper analysis of this event on diginomica, after his 1:1 interviews were completed.

What is the state of SAP in April 2026? The markets have one take - but is that the whole story? What if we frame this in terms of customer priorities and value instead? And how does the enterprise AI story factor in - with the "garbage in, garbage out" data issue firmly in mind? That's plenty of fodder for our first air-it-out 'State of SAP' review in six months. (Though there is also our live ASUG Talks sessions with live customer Q/As since then). This podcast begins differently - Jon Reed had an opening ventilation in store for Geoff Scott and Josh Greenbaum to riff on. From there, we follow on our unscripted way, into SAP's AI strategy - and what individuals (and customers) should do in the face of global volatility and tech disruption. Along the way, we address two of SAP's major news items as well: the Reltio acquisition, and Thomas Saueressig's move into Chief Customer Officer on the SAP Executive Board. This podcast is intended to set the stage for SAP Sapphire Orlando and the co-located ASUG Annual Conference, where will we be taping live again.

The Transformation Ground Control podcast covers a number of topics important to digital and business transformation. This episode covers the following topics and interviews:   How SAP is Partnering With the Open Data Institute, Q&A (Darian Chwialkowski, Third Stage Consulting) The State of ERP in 2026 (Jon Reed, Co-Founder of diginomica) Why Your ERP Vendor Keeps Blaming You for Their Failures We also cover a number of other relevant topics related to digital and business transformation throughout the show.  

After a vigorous first day at the 2026 Sage analyst event, Brian Sommer and Jon Reed hash out an ERP vendor with a provocative approach to AI for finance. Why has Sage advanced the conversation with domain-specific finance models? What did the customers on-site say about AI adoption/disruption? Is there a compelling future for ERP beyond a simplistic image of agentic prompts? What open questions does Sage need to tackle at their upcoming Sage Future user event in late April? Note: due to saving Sage's news previews for Sage Future, this podcast focused on hot issues rather than state-of-the-company details. Those will be revealed/updated in a month's time at the user event.

Send us Fan MailRecent announcements across the enterprise software landscape highlight an accelerating shift toward AI-native capabilities, deeper operational visibility, and composable enterprise architectures. Integrations such as Beroe's DataHub with the Model Context Protocol and Panaya's Seemore agentic layer reflect growing momentum around context-aware AI orchestration, while Pipefy's AI agents and SAP's AI-enhanced retail innovations demonstrate how vendors are embedding intelligence directly into operational workflows. Strategic acquisitions—including Accenture's move to acquire Faculty and Flexera's expansion through multiple purchases—underscore the race to strengthen AI-driven services and platform breadth. Meanwhile, Rockwell Automation's expansion of its MES portfolio, Certinia's Winter '26 release, Flowfinity's platform enhancements, and ECI Software Solutions' acquisition of Amper Technologies reinforce the importance of real-time manufacturing visibility, service lifecycle integration, and process automation.

ZohoDay 2026 is in the books. But while the assembled mass of industry analysts were still in Austin, Jon Reed and Brian Sommer grabbed a quiet room for an unscripted recap. There was a flurry of news at this show to make sense of, some of it NDA but most of it not. The guys were on the clock this time, with only 25 minutes to hit on the hottest issues from customers, partners, and Zoho leadership - not to mention Zoho fleshing out the "Zoho ERP" news. Brian had his infamous hand-scrawled notepad on the state of Zoho, and Jon walked listeners through Zoho's take on the changing risks of SaaS in the AI era. (This podcast was taped prior to Jon's last AI deep dives with Zoho in Austin, but there was plenty of AI content to discuss regardless).

Send us a textEnterprise software vendors are tightening execution around AI enablement, workflow depth, and operational recovery rather than pursuing broad platform reinvention. Acquisition activity—from Sage moving to acquire Fyle, to SYSPRO acquiring DATASCOPE, Zendesk completing its acquisition of HyperArc, and Contentsquare acquiring Loris AI—signals a continued emphasis on capability-led expansion tightly aligned to core use cases. In parallel, AI product announcements from NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Zoho, and Zendesk emphasize connectors, agents, and embedded intelligence designed to improve productivity within existing workflows rather than displace them. Finally, the case of AAON underscores the operational reality behind these trends: ERP value is ultimately realized not through announcements or AI features alone, but through disciplined execution, stabilization, and long-term operational turnarounds—particularly in complex manufacturing environments where recovery often matters more than rapid transformation.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories.

Salesforce's updates to Marketing Cloud Next and Agentforce 3, alongside new capabilities from Cordial and SAP, point to a continued push toward AI-driven engagement, automation, and cloud-native commerce experiences. Strategic acquisitions by Accenture and SYSPRO reinforce the importance of deep industry and manufacturing expertise embedded within digital transformation platforms, while Unit4's ERPx release on Azure and Campfire's Series A funding highlight momentum behind modern, AI-first ERP architectures. At the same time, antitrust scrutiny involving SAP and investor investigations such as the Lamb Weston case underscore the growing governance, compliance, and risk considerations shaping the enterprise technology landscape.
