How real-time security transforms ERP systems in a cloud-driven world, spotting threats instantly, leveraging AI for proactive defense, and closing common blind spots before breaches escalate. Curious about staying ahead of cyber risks?=====Mohammed Moidheen, SAP security architect at Infosys, unpacks why real-time monitoring is vital amid 2,200 daily cyber attacks costing trillions annually. He highlights blind spots like unmonitored access vulnerabilities, ignored audit logs, unsecured APIs, privileged accounts, insider threats, and poor event correlation in S/4HANA Cloud setups. AI evolves detection with predictive intelligence, automated responses, natural language queries, and cross-system pattern spotting, shifting from reactive to proactive security. Real-world cases show systems halting unusual data downloads and insider data exfiltration in minutes.

Send a textThis week's enterprise software announcements reflect a broad, coordinated push toward AI-native experiences layered across collaboration, operations, finance, and core business platforms. Salesforce's latest version of Slack, Oracle's role-based AI agents for Fusion Cloud, and SAP's extension of its business suite all signal that hyperscalers are embedding AI directly into day-to-day workflows rather than positioning it as a standalone add-on. In parallel, Sprinklr's new AI capabilities and Upstream Works' enhanced agent desktop extend this trend into customer experience and contact center operations, while Kantata's new AI platform targets the specialized needs of professional services firms. NetSuite's “Next” roadmap reinforces Oracle's mid-market modernization strategy, and ScienceLogic's reimagined applications highlight how observability and IT operations are also being reshaped by AI-first design principles. Rounding out the picture, Cleo's invoice payment and financing solution underscores growing pressure to modernize B2B financial operations, while Sage's acquisition of Criterion signals continued consolidation in the HCM space—together illustrating a market that is rapidly standardizing on AI-driven interaction layers even as vendors compete to redefine their category boundaries.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 vendors. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-5FOS9QamYQuestions for Panelists?

Gaidot „Lielā Kristapa” balvu sadalīšanu, vēršam uzmanību tiem balvai nominētajiem kino profesionāļiem, kurus gandrīz nekad neredzam starmešu gaismā. Vakar izcēlām kino operatora darbu, šodien izzinām kostīmu mākslinieka darba specifiku. „Nevis izrādīt savus kostīmu, bet lai kostīmi palīdz filmai un stāstam” – tā kostīmu mākslinieces Sandras Silas darba stilu raksturo režisors Dzintars Dreibergs. Sandra Sila par darbu pie kinolentes „Tīklā. TTT leģendas dzimšana” ir nominēta balvai kategorijā „Labākais kostīmu mākslinieks/ce”. Sandra Sila ir atzīta kostīmu māksliniece ar bagātu pieredzi - trīs reizes saņēmusi "Lielo Kristapu", kino procesos iesaistījusies 80. gados, un pirmais patstāvīgais darbs bijis Dzidras Ritenbergas filmā "Māja bez izejas". Sandrai Silai tīk strādāt ar vēsturiskām tēmām, bet ar sportu saskārusies jau divreiz - vispirms Aigara Graubas filmā "Sapņu komanda 1935", taču mūs šoreiz īpaši interesē kostīmu mākslinieces darbs Dzintara Dreiberga filmā "Tīklā. TTT leģendas dzimšana", par ko arī nominēta balvai "Lielais Kristaps".

Send a textSelling complex technology isn't about the lone genius with a quota. It's about orchestrating people, timing and trust across a messy, customer-led journey.We sit down with Cliff Keast - former sales leader at VMware, SAP and Business Objects, now a coach to revenue teams - to unpack how enterprise deals really get done when 20, 30 or even over 100 people touch a single opportunity.Separating Average Performers from Reliable ClosersCliff shares the identity shift that separates average performers from reliable closers: stop trying to be the hero and become the integrator of value. Your credibility in the C‑suite comes from your ability to marshal your company's full expertise - pre-sales, legal, services, customer success, partners - exactly when it matters. Focusing on Soft Skills That Make the Hard Things WorkWe get practical on the soft skills that make the hard things work: establish psychological safety, show trust first, share credit publicly, handle issues privately, and keep communication ruthlessly clear. A simple discipline, write actions clearly and start every meeting by reviewing them, turns vague updates into peer accountability without the drama.Facing the Reality of Cross-Functional FrictionWe also confront the reality of cross-functional friction. As organisations scale, process and function disaggregate. Quoting systems stall over irrelevant fields, legal arrives too late, and rules designed for efficiency create bottlenecks. Finding the Selling LineCliff draws the line between customer-centric rule pushing and selfish rule breaking, and explains how top sellers earn an “unfair share” of scarce resources by qualifying well, setting purpose, and making it easy for specialists to win. Shaping the PathFor sales leaders, the mandate is to shape the path: clear the runway with adjacent functions, coach orchestration skills, and measure the operating rhythm that keeps cross-functional teams moving.Who This Is ForIf you're navigating enterprise sales, team performance or revenue leadership, you'll leave with a sharper playbook for influence without authority, smarter stakeholder timing, and a renewed respect for the human side of selling. Subscribe, share with a teammate who needs a better deal rhythm, and drop a review to tell us which function is hardest to align in your world.We would love you to follow us on LinkedIn! https://www.linkedin.com/company/amplified-group/

Zum dritten Mal zu Gast: Michael Flender, bekannt als „der Goldesel" — Vollzeit-Trader und Investor aus Frankfurt, Betreiber von goldesel.de und seit über 14 Jahren täglich an den Märkten aktiv. Zwei Jahre nach seinem letzten Besuch sprechen wir über einen Markt, der holpriger kaum sein könnte — und über die Entscheidungen, die Michael in den letzten Wochen getroffen hat.PayPal — Ende mit Schrecken: Michael erklärt, warum er nach jahrelangem Halten seine PayPal-Position mit 42% Verlust verkauft hat. Ein CEO-Wechsel, ein enttäuschender Q4-Ausblick und der brutale Vergleich mit Stripe, Mastercard und Visa. Was kann uns das über die aktuelle Marktdisziplin lehren?Novo Nordisk vs. Eli Lilly: Während Novo Nordisk mit einem schwachen Ausblick und schrumpfenden Markterwartungen kämpft, steht Eli Lilly auf Allzeithoch. Ein und dasselbe Thema — Abnehm-Medikamente — zwei komplett entgegengesetzte Geschichten. Michael erklärt, warum er bei Novo Nordisk noch Geduld hat.KI-Disruption und der Software-Sektor: ServiceNow, SAP, Microsoft, Monday — die gesamte Software-as-a-Service-Branche steht unter Druck. Michael unterscheidet zwischen Unternehmen, die als „System of Record" (Betriebssystem der Unternehmens-IT) dienen, und solchen, die echte Disruptions-Gefahr haben. Außerdem: Warum selbst Anthropic intern Salesforce nutzt — und was das über die KI-Hysterie am Markt sagt.Das Dividenden-Depot auf Allzeithoch: Allianz, Munich Re, Infineon, E.ON, Deutsche Post — während das Tech-Depot blutet, läuft Michaels Dividenden-Portfolio stark. Er zeigt seine größten Positionen und erklärt, warum er jetzt auch ETFs beimischt — darunter den VanEck Morningstar Developed Markets Dividends ETF.Die große philosophische Frage: Macht Stockpicking 2026 noch Sinn? Wenn KI-Agenten in Sekunden DCF-Analysen erstellen, SEC-Filings durchsuchen und Screener befüllen — welchen Vorteil hat dann noch der Privatinvestor? Michael gibt eine ehrliche, nachdenkliche Antwort.Netflix, Disney, Gaming — und die Frage aller Fragen: Was passiert mit Content-Plattformen, wenn KI Serien, Spiele und Filme produzieren kann? Michael über Sora/Seedance-Effekte auf Netflix, Disneys IP-Stärke und die Disruptions-Dynamik, die niemand wirklich einpreisen kann.Links & Erwähnungen:Instagram: Michael Flender → @goldesel.investingWebsite: goldesel.de — Community, Trades, Langfrist-Depot-Updates, Podcast: Goldesel-Podcast auf SpotifyDisclaimer: Die in dieser Podcast-Folge gemachten Aussagen stellen keine Anlageberatung, Anlageempfehlung oder Aufforderung zum Kauf oder Verkauf von Finanzinstrumenten dar.

Dans cet épisode d'OVNIs Podcast, Matthieu Stefani reçoit Eric Lacaille, cofondateur de Piston, pour une plongée au cœur d'un marché aussi massif que stratégique : l'ERP. Ensemble, ils explorent comment l'intelligence artificielle rebat les cartes d'un univers dominé par des géants comme SAP ou Oracle. Piston propose une approche radicalement différente : reconstruire l'ERP “from scratch” avec l'IA comme brique fondamentale, afin de connecter données structurées et non structurées et automatiser des processus métiers jusqu'ici lourds, complexes et chronophages .Au fil de la discussion, Eric détaille la vision d'un ERP “agentique” capable de dialoguer en langage naturel, d'optimiser la supply chain, de détecter des pertes de marge ou de générer automatiquement des plans d'action opérationnels . Au-delà de la technologie, l'enjeu est stratégique : permettre à des PME et ETI industrielles de doubler leur performance sans multiplier les équipes, en libérant les collaborateurs des tâches répétitives pour les recentrer sur la valeur et la relation client.

In this episode, Jeff Mains sits down with Barbara Wittmann, a 25-year veteran of IT transformation who has pioneered the concept of "human infrastructure" - the invisible framework of trust, clarity, and collaboration that determines whether technology projects succeed or fail. Barbara shares her journey from mountain biking and logistics to SAP consulting, and how she discovered that most technology failures are actually people problems in disguise. She introduces her four-pillar model for preventing costly project detours, explains why people development should be a permanent IT budget line item (not a one-time HR initiative), and reveals how AI is raising the bar on what humans need to do best. The conversation explores psychological safety, shared mental models, limiting beliefs, and why wisdom drawn from indigenous cultures can help modern SaaS leaders build more resilient organizations.Key Takeaways[4:56] - Technology problems are almost always people problems - software can't fix misalignment, confusion, or teams that weren't brought along for the change[8:35] - Human infrastructure is the framework where departments work seamlessly together, end-to-end processes are understood, and people have artifacts to help them navigate complexity[10:14] - Shared mental models are critical - creating a high-level map of systems, data elements, and functions helps everyone align on what changes will impact[12:20] - People development should be an OPEX line item in IT budgets, not a one-time HR initiative - we upgrade servers continuously but treat people upgrades as "one and done"[16:15] - Empowering the middle layer of organizations can save about 20% on consulting spend because in-house people already have the knowledge[20:20] - The four-pillar model: Understand the problem → Condense it → Create a solution → Get people excited about it (most teams skip understanding the problem)[22:32] - The dual ecosystem approach: Train people in a cross-industry environment where they can practice without fear, then bring learnings back to their organization[25:53] - Once 25% of your middle layer adopts a new mindset, you see behavioral shifts ripple throughout the entire organization[29:00] - Indigenous wisdom teaches that everything is connected (ecosystems) and everything works in cycles - nature isn't "on" all the time[34:27] - Limiting beliefs often sound like "I can't do that, I've never done that before" - when your instant reaction is "no," pause and get curious about why[37:17] - AI should be seen as a coworker, not a competitor - the key is training our uniquely human aspects: emotional intelligence, sense-making, and asking better questions[39:38] - First step to building human infrastructure: Create psychological safety where people can voice concerns, and reconnect with your company's core mission and valuesTweetable Quotes"Most teams learn the hard way: Technology rarely fails because of the tools. It fails because the people aren't aligned to use them." - Barbara Wittmann"If your company is not really talking to each other as it is, a software is not gonna fix the issue." - Barbara Wittmann"We are upgrading servers all along, but with people upgrades, we look at it in a very old fashioned way. It's a one and done kind of thing." - Barbara Wittmann"AI models are evolving at the speed of light, and we are not upgrading our humans. What can go wrong?"- Barbara Wittmann"Your execution layer cannot delegate complexity anymore because they need to deal with it inevitably."...

Die Welt wird neu sortiert! Ein viraler LinkedIn-Post des KI-Unternehmers Matt Shumer schlägt Alarm: Stehen wir vor einem massiven Umbruch in der Wissensarbeit und sind die Menschen weitgehend unvorbereitet, ähnlich dem Beginn der Corona-Pandemie? Die beiden Wirtschaftsjournalisten Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz tauchen tief in das Thema KI-Disruption ein. Sie debattieren, ob wir uns wirklich Sorgen um unsere Jobs machen müssen, oder ob das Ganze doch nur eine clevere Verkaufsmasche für KI-Premium-Abos ist. Erfahrt, warum Zschäpitz glaubt, dass eine Portion "Paranoia" an der Börse gerade nicht schadet, und warum Deffner trotzdem optimistisch ins "Jahr des Feuerpferdes" blickt. Außerdem zeigen die beiden, warum unter der Oberfläche eine Brutalo-Rotation läuft, wieso ein Welt-ETF das Chaos erstaunlich gut wegsteckt – und warum Dividenden-Aristokraten gerade wie eine Trutzburg wirken, während Big Tech vom „Asset-light“-Liebling zum „Capital-heavy“-Problemfall wird. Und am Ende gibt es die Wette, die alles auf den Punkt bringt: SAP gegen Nvidia. DEFFNER & ZSCHÄPITZ sind wie das wahre Leben. Wie Optimist und Pessimist. Im wöchentlichen WELT-Podcast diskutieren und streiten die Journalisten Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz über die wichtigen Wirtschaftsthemen des Alltags.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I analyze the leadership shift at Workday and what it means in the age of agentic AI.Highlights00:00 — I want to talk about a change at the top of Workday. And I want to point out somebody who's been a real superstar in this business and that's Workday co-founder, former co-CEO, former CEO, chairman, executive chairman, resigned as CEO, now back in as CEO, Aneel Bhusri.01:13 — He was going to be the person that ran all the business, the operations. And Aneel said, "I can go back to what I truly love," which is developing products and strategy. Carl Eschenbach left about a week ago. The board asked Bhusri to step back in as CEO, and he's done that. So there's no question that Aneel Bhusri's first love is products and strategy.02:24 — He said, “Now, with Carl Eschenbach coming in a couple of years ago, now I can go do this stuff I really love around products and strategy.” It is this thing about never being trained to do it. He's on the board of directors at General Motors, a highly accomplished executive in a lot of ways. Aneel certainly doesn't need the money.03:13 — How does a company like Workday or Oracle or SAP or Salesforce balance those two things, the enterprise applications that brought them here, and the agentic AI that has to take them forward? Workday, several months ago, announced Workday ERP. From the outside, you've got SAP and Oracle always aggressively trying to go after Workday customers.03:59 — I want to mention about Aneel, the way he manages. He said, “I've sort of become”— this is when machine learning, ML, was really becoming hot — “I became the Pied Piper of Workday. I was just going around to all the different developers and engineering teams and just asking developers and engineering teams over and over and over again, what are you doing with ML?"04:56 — And now they've got two great president-level executives at Workday. Rob Enslin and Gerrit Kazmaier. I think it's very likely that about a year from now, Workday will announce that Bhusri is going to become co-CEO and elevate one of those two, Enslin or Kazmaier, to the co-CEO role with him.

What does it take to migrate the heart of a nation's banking system to the cloud?In this AWS Executive Insights fireside chat, Ben Cabanas sits down with Simon Davies, GM of Core Banking at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, to unpack one of the most mission-critical cloud transformations in financial services. With nearly 40% of Australia's liquidity flowing through CBA's core platform, the stakes were enormous.Simon shares how CBA migrated the world's largest SAP core banking deployment to AWS while improving reliability, reducing infrastructure costs by 30%, and enabling real-time customer experiences. Beyond the technical achievement, he reveals how transparency, cultural alignment, and a rallying cry of “believe” helped mobilize thousands across the organization to deliver change at national scale.

The Deal You Never Knew Existed. Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://theultimatepartner.com/ebook-subscribe/ Check Out UPX: https://theultimatepartner.com/experience/ In this deep dive, Jay McBain reveals the harsh reality of the “28 Moments” in a modern B2B buying journey, using a multi-million dollar SAP deal at AstraZeneca as a wake-up call for vendors. He explains how traditional marketing leads are failing in the “decade of the ecosystem,” where trusted partners like NTT and SoftwareOne are winning deals in “light blue” partnership moments months before a customer ever downloads an ebook. If you aren’t visible in the seven-layer stack or collaborating with the partners who hold the customer’s trust, you aren’t just losing the deal—you're losing the entire market. https://youtu.be/NO-P6X2dTAo?si=8e_sVesqvwaC0M-E Key Takeaways Most vendors lose major deals without ever knowing a transaction was even taking place. The average considered purchase involves 28 distinct moments of research and influence before a sale. Trusted partners often close the deal in the “middle moments” months before the money is actually spent. Traditional marketing leads (MQLs) are often too “flimsy” compared to deep partner-led relationships. Winning in the ecosystem requires being part of a “seven-layer stack” of integrated technology and services. Data-sharing platforms like Crossbeam and Workspan are now essential to seeing the “invisible” pipeline. If you're ready to lead through change, elevate your business, and achieve extraordinary outcomes through the power of partnership—this is your community. At Ultimate Partner® we want leaders like you to join us in the Ultimate Partner Experience – where transformation begins.

Transcript: [00:00:00] Jay McBain: So if you’re a vendor trying to get into that seven layer stack and you don’t have that relationship, or you don’t have the knowledge that NTT or software one is going in, this will have been a deal that would’ve never hit your pipeline and you’ll have no knowledge. So you will have lost this deal without knowing there was a deal. [00:00:19] Vince Menzione: We’ve been talking 28 moments, but you have a slide. I thought we’d spend some time here because, you know, every conversation with you is about 28 moments, but you finally took the time to analyze one of your deals or one of the deals that was going on with one of your clients and come up with the 28 moments. [00:00:36] Vince Menzione: I thought we’d spend a little time here because this journey slide is a wake up call. Uh, it’s, it’s, it’s all around. Why, why we need to think about all of those. Points we need to think about communities and analysts and marketplaces and proof of concepts and architecture and everything else. I thought maybe you’d take us through this a little bit. [00:00:53] Vince Menzione: ’cause this was for a client, AstraZeneca, by the way. This was, uh, if you don’t know this, ICI Americas was the precursor of mm-hmm. AstraZeneca. It was the first SAP customer in North America. [00:01:03] Jay McBain: Nice. I did [00:01:04] Vince Menzione: not know that. That’s why Microsoft and SAP both headquartered. In that area, near nearby, that client. [00:01:10] Vince Menzione: That’s, uh, news, new news. [00:01:11] Jay McBain: And by the way, this is an SAP deal we’re looking at. Yeah. Uh, so two things here. One is that, um, while I was declaring the decade of the ecosystem, you know, spending time with you and Boca, in between that time we got acquired. Canals, which was Latin for channel, got acquired by oia, part of Informa TechTarget, part of this bigger informa company, which is a Fortune 100 company outta the uk. [00:01:32] Jay McBain: Fantastic. You know, we’re part of this massive organization that is really around buyer intent. How, you know, a tech target and, uh, running hundreds of magazines like Information Week and Computer Week that customers and partners read running hundreds of events, the biggest events on the planet. [00:01:49] Vince Menzione: Crazy [00:01:49] Jay McBain: in B2B, like Black Hat and all these things are run by [00:01:52] Vince Menzione: Yeah, [00:01:53] Jay McBain: informa. [00:01:53] Jay McBain: So it’s got this massive mountain of data. About the 28 moments. So when you start to think if you’re a CMO and you start to think about the early moments, you, you think about somebody reading an ebook or, um, going to a, a webinar or going onto a LinkedIn live just like this one. Yeah, going to a major event and getting a pair of socks from you. [00:02:13] Jay McBain: Um, but anything early in the journey. These are the m qls. These are the things that I need enough of them to be credible before I hand them over to my sales team. ’cause I don’t wanna be laughed out of the room. Hey, they read an ebook. They must, AstraZeneca must be buying millions of dollars of stuff. [00:02:27] Vince Menzione: Traditional marketing lead. [00:02:29] Jay McBain: Traditional marketing lead. So they’re a bit nervous about sharing that. And then later on, the sales motions, the demos and all the progression of the sales. This was the two decades before us, the decade of sales, decade of marketing. But the 28 moments, just to take a step back, if you haven’t heard, it is just a considered purchase. [00:02:46] Jay McBain: It’s about psychology, human psychology. When you go and buy a car, second most expensive thing that you will purchase you on average will go through 28 moments getting ready for that purchase. Some people go through two moments and they just drive to the Cadillac dealership to see Larry, who’s been selling Cadillacs to the family for 80 years. [00:03:04] Jay McBain: Yep. Some people spend 58 moments. That’s probably me. [00:03:07] Vince Menzione: That’s you, a, [00:03:08] Jay McBain: you know, going through all the depreciation, watching every YouTube video, you know, going to the end of the earth. But the average is 28. So you start to think about this, this is the same buying a car considered purchase, that you would buy a million dollars in software. [00:03:21] Jay McBain: From Microsoft or SAP. So when you look at these moments, you start to think, you know, how is you before you buy that car, downloading the invoice price, downloading this month’s backend rebates. Should I buy it in January? Should I buy it in February? All these decisions you make before you get to that dealership, you’re smarter than the salesperson, smarter than the sales manager. [00:03:39] Jay McBain: You know what 5,000 people bought the car for within 50 miles of you? I mean, you’re just so smart. You actually don’t need the dealership anymore. Just Carvana to me, hand me the keys. Exactly. But now in buying technology, hardware, software services, customers are getting this smart. And here’s all the moments they take to get this smart. [00:03:57] Jay McBain: But the thing we always had in mind in this decade of the ecosystem was the 96% there are trusted people. Yeah. Spending decades building that trust that come in in critical moments. They’re not marketing moments, they’re not sales moments. They are fully partnership moments. Yeah. And they’re on this slide in light blue. [00:04:15] Jay McBain: So if you were to look at this deal and, and somebody in marketing is finding these eBooks and webinars and they think there might be something, AWS got a direct hit on their website. So there’s something brewing at AstraZeneca. It, it might be in, it’s a big pharmaceutical company, so you’re probably spending millions of dollars if something’s brewing. [00:04:31] Jay McBain: Yep. But guess what? At the same time, in December on this six month journey. Partners come in with five different paid projects, consulting, advisory design projects, and in this case it was NTT software one, Yash and uh, ISV was there. Yep. But NTT won three different. Deals right at that critical stage. It wasn’t Accenture, it wasn’t Deloitte, NTT at this particular department of AstraZeneca had spent the decades building those relationships. [00:04:58] Jay McBain: So they were the one, and they won critical part of this. And so that’s when the deal is won. And it’s not at April when the money’s being spent. Yeah, it’s, it’s not in March when a couple more ISVs joined the mix, that seven layer stack that solves this particular problem, it was right there. So if you’re a vendor trying to get into that seven layer stack and you don’t have that relationship, or you don’t have the knowledge that NTT or software one is going in, this will have been a deal that would’ve never hit your pipeline and you’ll have no knowledge. [00:05:30] Jay McBain: So you will have lost this deal without knowing there was a deal, which makes up again, the majority of your tam. [00:05:34] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:05:35] Jay McBain: But what if I did have this agentic ability to see this deal coming, and I’m a cybersecurity company, I’m just competing for layer five of the deal, but I know that it’s all happening in December. [00:05:46] Jay McBain: So the two things that jump out on this particular slide is one, they don’t just show up in December. [00:05:51] Vince Menzione: Yeah, [00:05:51] Jay McBain: this went closed one in their Salesforce CRM in August, September, well, before the customer ever read an ebook. So now you’re not dealing with a flimsy MQL. You’re dealing with a couple of great, you know, top partner 1000 sized firms. [00:06:09] Jay McBain: One of them is a partner, 30 firm. [00:06:11] Vince Menzione: Exactly. [00:06:12] Jay McBain: That is absolutely going into and earning hundreds of thousands of dollars in services to guide the customer to a millions of dollars in purchase. And, and you can imagine in that boardroom. With A CMO saying, Hey, I got this stuff here. And the head of channels or partnerships saying, no, no, this is real. [00:06:32] Jay McBain: Here’s the names, faces, and places. Yeah. And here’s how it’s happening. And this is exactly, this is the Gantt chart, this is the show up, this is the project, this is the outcome. This is exactly how it’s playing out. Now if I could go back and the board and the C-suite should be asking us, well, how many more deals like this can you see? [00:06:50] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:06:51] Jay McBain: If our TAM is, you know, how many billions of dollars? Could you double our pipeline by seeing more of these middle moments? And if we got a couple of months to spend with these partners before they get in front of the customer, could they build more of our portfolio into the deal so we’re not just layer five, maybe we’re layer three and layer five. [00:07:10] Vince Menzione: This slide screams at me. Integr Tech integration Cha. A partner channel integration of tech, uh, whether it’s Crossbeam, whether it’s Partner Tap, whether it’s work span, or any of these other technologies, tackle any of these technologies that are tracking marketplace, that are tracking partner to partner, co-selling. [00:07:30] Vince Menzione: Getting the integration points. The only way to really understand the situation here, because this is a multinational company. Yeah. It’s being touched at all PO points around the globe. And to understand who’s calling who, who’s influencing who, and getting a real view, you know, a uber view of what that looks like is super important. [00:07:47] Jay McBain: It is. And you know, if I’m trying to sell like a cross beam or partner tab or work span or something into my executive team, I’m just showing them this slide. [00:07:54] Vince Menzione: Exactly. [00:07:54] Jay McBain: Would you like to know about this deal? Like you see, October is the start of the timeline here. Would you like to know about this deal in August, September? [00:08:00] Vince Menzione: Yep. [00:08:01] Jay McBain: Would you like to know about it automatically? Again, we’re not waiting for somebody, a human in a cubicle to go fill out a form. We’re not waiting for them to call somebody at our in, in a cubicle at our company. Yeah. We’re literally age genically sharing platforms, and so when this triggers that AstraZeneca and now triggers in our CRM system as well, our team on AstraZeneca gets notified and it gets notified in September before the 28 moments even starts. [00:08:27] Jay McBain: This, the power of this, of doubling, tripling your pipeline and then winning a bigger yield, a bigger percentage of that pipeline. This is the holy grail of our industry, and no one’s gonna get to a hundred percent. You’re not gonna have a hundred percent of your tam covered by your pipeline. No one’s gonna win a hundred percent of that. [00:08:43] Jay McBain: But again, we only have to be 10 or 20% better than our competitors and we need to start moving on this now. [00:08:50] Vince Menzione: So your imperative for the partners here, well everyone watching here today, I mean, this screams to me build your ecosystem strategy in such a strong and succinct way. What else would you say to them? [00:09:00] Jay McBain: I mean, the second thing that jumps out, you see two AWS direct touches here. This is something that this would be inbound. This AWS would see this deal in their pipeline. [00:09:09] Vince Menzione: Yeah. [00:09:10] Jay McBain: Because the customer came to them. AWS lost this deal. Crazy. So Microsoft won this deal. I, I mentioned Microsoft outgrowing AWS Yeah. [00:09:19] Jay McBain: ’cause in this particular case, NTT and Software One and Yash came in with Microsoft. Yeah. To solve an SAP optimization, Microsoft, and, you know, seven layer deal. So whether you’re in AWS, whether you’re in Microsoft, whether you’re anywhere else in this industry, you’re thinking like, you’re not gonna probably overtake what happens in December. [00:09:39] Jay McBain: These are the most trusted, smartest people in the room. And whatever happens in those projects is the seven layer stack the customer’s gonna buy in March, April. So I, I start to think about this and go, I need to win. ’cause NTT has a wonderful relationship with AWS. [00:09:55] Vince Menzione: They do, [00:09:56] Jay McBain: I mean, partner of the year level. [00:09:57] Jay McBain: I mean, they’ve got 10,000 people certified. I mean, there’s just a, you know, there’s no one at AWS that, um, you know, would take a, a loss here because it’s a wonderful relationship. And Software One, they [00:10:09] Vince Menzione: go back to Microsoft actually 30, 40 years though they do. They were Dimension data before that. Yeah. [00:10:14] Vince Menzione: And they have the long hit Legacy And Software One. Software one as well. You, [00:10:19] Jay McBain: you know, well Software one is Microsoft’s biggest reseller, uh, in Europe. And now with Crayon, you know, one of the biggest in the world. So I would be nervous if I was looking at this and saw Software one coming in with NTT and watching these things take place if I were able to see this back in September, October and work with these companies. [00:10:38] Jay McBain: That’s where kind of Microsoft came into the picture. And this never hit Microsoft’s pipeline. No Microsoft salesperson ever worked on it, but millions of dollars came to Microsoft. Yeah. Uh, out of this deal. So there are examples of where Microsoft gets touched and AWS wins the deal. So this isn’t meant to say that it happens in every case, but it’s meant to say data rules the future, and agent ai, the ability to plumb in these boxes. [00:11:00] Jay McBain: Working with Informa tech, target people that can plumb in the boxes for you with third party data, helping you with the light blue boxes. We gotta be obsessed over these light blue boxes. [00:11:11] Vince Menzione: It’s incredible. The Ultimate Partner Winter Retreat is gonna be here in the Boca Studio. This is the third year that we’re gonna be here in Boca. [00:11:21] Vince Menzione: This is always a favorite of our community members, our executive members, our sponsors and speakers. We’ll all be here in the studio, which is a really intimate setting. We can see upwards of 40, 50 people. Uh, we’ll be hosting an incredible dinner at the Boca Resort overlooking the golf course. That’s an incredible property and, uh, we’d love to have you join us. [00:11:45] Vince Menzione: Thank you for being part of the ultimate Partner community, and I hope to see you this year at one of our events. Thank you.

In episode 278 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Support for Mission Critical. When customers move their SAP systems to Azure, Microsoft is working closely with customers and their partners on the migration. We do not have our own team that actually does the migrations, but as we have highlighted several times on the show, we have dedicated teams that ensure an SAP on Azure Missions critical support. In the past we had colleagues like Hemanth Damecharla or Philiipp Leitenbauer from our engineering team in our show, who work very closely with SAP to ensure that SAP systems run best on Azure, but we also had colleagues like Etienne Dittrich from Shibli Subhanis team - or our own Goran -- who support customers closely during their preparation and the actual go-live. Today we want to talk to Anuradha Karnam who is a Cloud Solution Architect working on Support for Mission Critical, who will with us share what Support for Mission Critical is and how he and the team is helping customers.Find all the links mentioned here: https://www.saponazurepodcast.de/episode278Reach out to us for any feedback / questions:* Goran Condric: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gorancondric/* Holger Bruchelt: https://www.linkedin.com/in/holger-bruchelt/ #Microsoft #SAP #Azure #SAPonAzure #Support #MissionCritical

Send a textThis week's enterprise software headlines highlight a market simultaneously accelerating into agentic AI while still wrestling with the structural and legal fallout of past transformation failures. On the innovation front, Genstore's $10M seed round, Tray.ai's launch of the Tray Agent Hub, and new agentic releases from Mendix and OutSystems underscore how aggressively vendors are repositioning around autonomous workflows and AI-first orchestration layers. ServiceNow's unveiling of its AI Experience and Plex's connected worker integration push the same narrative into IT service management and manufacturing operations, signaling that agentic concepts are no longer confined to experimental edges of the stack. At the same time, a parallel storyline of governance and execution risk is playing out, with Zimmer Biomet's $172M ERP lawsuit against Deloitte, Europe's continued delays fixing a troubled Oracle system, Daedong USA's faltering ERP injunction, and the EU Commission's investigation into SAP's practices reinforcing how fragile large-scale enterprise transformations remain. Together, these developments paint a bifurcated 2026 landscape: rapid platform innovation driven by AI ambition on one side, and unresolved accountability, regulatory scrutiny, and implementation risk on the other.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 vendors. Finally, we analyzed future trends and how they might shape the enterprise software industry.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3VmbEsy5uQQuestions for Panelists?

If your AR feels like a maze of phone calls, spreadsheets, and “we'll match it later,” this conversation shows a cleaner path. We sit down with Fauwaz Hussain, Senior Director of B2B Partnerships and Strategy at Global Payments, to break down what actually speeds cash and what quietly stalls it. From card-not-present realities to complex terms and partial shipments, we map the B2B differences that make order-to-cash harder and the practical changes that remove friction fast.We get specific about embedding payments inside your ERP so invoices, settlements, and the general ledger line up automatically. That shift kills rekeying errors, collapses department silos, and gives support, sales, and finance the same live truth. Security gets stronger when card data never touches email or recorded calls, and PCI compliance becomes manageable when you use certified, cloud-based vaults and enforce simple rules like “no cards by phone.” Fauwaz explains why publishers like Microsoft, SAP, and Sage now run tighter marketplaces, how VARs and ISVs evaluate payment apps, and why a one-stop provider reduces risk across gateways, vaults, and processing.We also cover the cash-flow moves that work right away: self-serve portals with open invoices, one-click payment links by email or text, stored credentials for auto-pay, and accepting multiple methods from ACH to single-use virtual cards. Then we look forward - AI-driven cash application, predictive delinquencies, Level 2/3 data validation, and API-first architectures that connect e-commerce, field service, and ERP into a single payment fabric. If you're leading AR, finance, or operations, you'll leave with a clear playbook to modernize without compromising compliance.

How Do Marketplaces Turn AI Ambition Into Scalable, Trusted Enterprise Reality? That is the question I explore in this episode with Julie Teigland, Global Vice Chair for Alliances and Ecosystems at EY, someone who sits right at the intersection of enterprise demand, technology platforms, and the ecosystems that increasingly power modern AI adoption. As organizations race to deploy AI at scale, many are discovering that the real challenge is not a lack of tools, but the complexity of choosing, integrating, governing, and standing behind those decisions with confidence. Julie explains why marketplaces are becoming a powerful mechanism for reducing friction in this process, helping enterprises move beyond experimentation toward AI solutions that are trusted, scalable, and aligned with real business outcomes. We talk about how marketplaces can collapse complexity, curate choice, and bring much needed clarity to leaders who are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of AI options available today. Julie also shares how EY approaches this challenge through its "client zero" mindset, turning the lens inward and treating EY itself as the first marketplace customer. By doing so, EY stress tests governance, security, and integration at real enterprise scale, serving tens of thousands of clients, running hundreds of thousands of servers, and processing hundreds of millions of transactions every day. That internal experience shapes how EY helps clients navigate trust, accountability, and cross-vendor integration risks, particularly as AI becomes more embedded into workflows and decision-making. We also explore how strong alliances with cloud leaders like Microsoft and SAP are shaping how AI solutions are vetted, standardized, and deployed across industries, as well as how regulation, particularly in Europe, is influencing a shift toward responsibility by design. This conversation goes beyond technology to focus on orchestration, trust, and outcomes, and why marketplaces are evolving from simple app stores into something far more strategic for enterprise AI. If you are trying to understand how ecosystems, governance, and marketplaces can help turn AI from isolated projects into sustained business value, this episode offers a thoughtful and grounded perspective.  I would love to know what resonated with you most. How do you see marketplaces shaping the future of AI adoption inside your organization? Useful LInks Connect With Julie Teigland Learn More About EY

What happens when the rush toward AI collides with the messy reality of enterprise data that was never designed for it? That is exactly where this fast-tracked episode with Kevin Dattolico from Syntax begins. Before we even hit record, we were swapping stories about music, travel, and a certain farewell concert that set the tone for a conversation that was both grounded and unexpectedly human. But once we got going, the discussion quickly shifted to one of the biggest blind spots I keep hearing about at tech conferences around the world. AI ambition is running far ahead of data readiness. Kevin leads Syntax across the Americas, working with organizations that rely on SAP, Oracle, and complex cloud environments to run their businesses. In our conversation, he shares why many AI initiatives stall or quietly reset the moment they touch real production data. Proofs of concept can look impressive in isolation, but once AI starts interacting with live operational systems, the cracks appear. Inconsistent data, duplicated records, missing context, and governance gaps all surface at once. The result is confusion, unpredictable outputs, and a growing realization that the issue is rarely the model itself. We dig into why ERP data has traditionally been trusted, while unstructured data across emails, documents, sensors, and logs often tells a very different story. Kevin explains where the real friction shows up when companies try to bring those worlds together, and why assumptions about data quality tend to break long before the technology does. It is a refreshingly honest look at what usually goes wrong first, and why leaders are often blindsided even after years of investment. One of the strongest themes in this episode is the shift Kevin sees from AI-first thinking toward a data-first mindset. That does not mean abandoning AI spend. It means rebalancing priorities so those investments actually deliver outcomes the business can stand behind. We talk about what consolidation, cleansing, and transformation look like at enterprise scale, especially for organizations carrying decades of technical debt and fragmented systems. The conversation also takes a thoughtful turn around governance, trust, and leadership. Kevin shares how the role of the chief data officer is changing from gatekeeper to enabler, and why modern governance has to support speed without sacrificing accountability. Along the way, he reflects on the risks of pushing ahead with weak data foundations, particularly in regulated industries where the cost of getting it wrong can be operational, reputational, or worse. And then there is the moment that caught me completely off guard. When I asked Kevin to look back on his career and reflect on someone who made a difference, his answer led to one of the most moving stories I have heard in thousands of interviews. It is a reminder that behind every transformation story, there are people who quietly shape the path forward. If you are wrestling with AI expectations, data reality, or simply wondering whether everyone else feels just as overwhelmed by this shift, this episode will resonate. The challenges Kevin describes are far more common than most leaders admit, and the opportunities for those who get the foundations right are real. So as AI continues to dominate boardroom conversations, are you confident your data is ready to support the decisions you are asking it to make, or is it time to pause and rethink what sits underneath it all?

Send us a textThis week's enterprise software news highlights a widening gap between glossy innovation narratives and the hard operational and governance realities shaping buyer risk. On the innovation side, BlackLine's launch of Verity for the Office of the CFO, Tray.ai's Agent Hub, Genstore's $10M seed round, and Blue Yonder's new TMS features underscore the accelerating push toward AI-enabled automation and orchestration layers across finance, integration, and supply chain. Versori's partnership with Fluent Commerce and Acumatica's 2025 R2 update further signal growing emphasis on ecosystem connectivity and incremental platform modernization. At the same time, the darker counterpoint is impossible to ignore: Zimmer Biomet's $172M ERP lawsuit against Deloitte, a major European city council's continued delays in fixing a failed Oracle system, and the EU Commission's investigation into SAP's practices reinforce how execution risk, vendor governance, and regulatory scrutiny are now front-and-center issues for enterprise buyers. Taken together, these developments reflect a market bifurcating between rapid AI-driven experimentation and escalating consequences for large-scale ERP missteps—raising the strategic stakes for both technology selection and transformation leadership.In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories.

Learn how to adapt and evolve your business to thrive through market disruptions and scale beyond seven figures. I sit down with Itai Sadan to explore why the ability to adapt and evolve separates good entrepreneurs from exceptional ones. Itai shares the raw story of building Duda from a garage startup to a company hosting over one million websites, including the pivotal moment when declining revenues forced a complete product pivot. From escaping the founder's trap to navigating the mobile revolution and now AI disruption, this conversation delivers hard-won lessons on staying ahead of market shifts, persuading your team through change, and why you don't have to be first to win. Itai Sadan is the co-founder and CEO of Duda, a white-label website builder serving digital marketing agencies and SaaS platforms worldwide. He launched the company in 2008 from his garage in Mountain View with his high school friend Amir Glatt after recognizing the shift toward mobile internet. Prior to Duda, Itai held positions at SAP and Amdocs and founded InterSight, a data storage startup, at age 21. His insights on SMBs, digital agencies, and online marketing have been featured in USA Today, TechCrunch, The Huffington Post, and more. Itai holds a BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics from Ben Gurion University in Israel. KEY TAKEAWAYS: The founder's trap happens when everything depends on you, and escaping it requires hiring for your weaknesses first. Building a business is an ultra-marathon, not a sprint, so find a sustainable pace that allows for continuous learning. Market dynamics will thrust challenges upon you regardless of revenue milestones, so stay attuned to shifts beyond your control. When pivoting, use data and customer feedback to persuade your team rather than pulling rank as the boss. AI won't take your job, but a competitor using AI better than you will. You don't have to be first to market because Google, Facebook, and others all came after early movers and still won. Niching down and being crystal clear on who you serve positions you perfectly for the AI-forward buyer's journey. Surround yourself with mentors and smart people to play intellectual ping pong and spot blind spots you'd miss alone.
