What does autonomous IT really look like when you move beyond the slideware and start wiring systems together in the real world? At Dynatrace Perform in Las Vegas, I sat down with Pablo Stern, EVP and GM of Technology Workflow Products at ServiceNow, to unpack exactly that. Pablo leads the teams focused on CIOs and CISOs, building the workflows and security products that sit at the heart of modern IT organizations. From service desks and command centers to risk and asset management, his remit is clear: enable AI to work for people, not the other way around. We began with ServiceNow's deepening multi-year partnership with Dynatrace. While the announcement made headlines, Pablo was quick to point out that the real story starts with customers. This collaboration is rooted in a shared goal of helping joint customers reduce outages, improve SLA adherence, and shrink mean time to resolution. The vision of autonomous IT operations is not about hype. It is about connecting observability data with deterministic workflows so that insight can evolve into coordinated, system-level action. Pablo walked me through the maturity curve he sees emerging. First came AI-powered insight, summarizing data and surfacing signals from noise. Then came task automation, drafting knowledge articles, paging teams, triggering predefined playbooks. The next step, and the one that excites him most, is orchestrated autonomy. That means stitching together skills, agents, and workflows into systems that can drive end-to-end outcomes. It is a journey measured in years, not months, and it depends as much on digitizing process and building trust as it does on technology. We also explored root cause analysis, still one of the biggest time drains in IT. By combining Dynatrace's AI-driven observability with ServiceNow's workflow engine, enterprises can automate forensic steps, correlate events faster, and shorten the time spent on major incident bridges where teams debate ownership. Even incremental improvements in accuracy can save hours when incidents strike. Trust, of course, remains central. Pablo was candid that full self-healing systems are still some distance away. What we will see first is relief automation, controlled failovers, scripted actions suggested by machines but approved by humans. Over time, as confidence grows and processes become fully digitized, the balance will shift. Beyond the technology, a consistent theme ran through our conversation. Outcomes have not changed. Enterprises still want higher availability, faster resolution, better employee experiences. What is changing is the how. ServiceNow is reimagining its platform to deliver those outcomes at a much higher standard, not through incremental tweaks, but through rethinking workflows for an AI-first world. From design partnerships with banks building pre-flight change checks, to internal teams acting as the toughest customers, this was a grounded, practical conversation about where autonomous operations are headed and what it will take to get there. If you are a CIO, CISO, or IT leader wondering how to move from theory to execution, this episode offers a clear-eyed look behind the curtain.

U.S. markets rebounded sharply as fears of AI-driven disruption eased, lifting the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow in a broad relief rally. A blockbuster multiyear partnership between Advanced Micro Devices and Meta Platforms — including up to 6 gigawatts of GPUs and a potential 160 million-share warrant — reignited the AI capex narrative and raised fresh questions about competition with Nvidia. Meanwhile, software names like Salesforce, ServiceNow, and DocuSign bounced as investors reconsider whether AI is a threat or a tailwind. Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist, Carson Group breaks down whether this is just a relief rally, what it means for the AI arms race, and how global tariffs and industrial names like John Deere fit into the bigger macro picture.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, and ServiceNow, the AI control tower for business reinvention, have signed a multi-year partnership to help enterprises speed up AI adoption across their businesses and functions. Enterprises are increasingly looking for experts who can reimagine how work is transformed with AI, especially in back-office functions like human resources, finance, supply chain, procurement, and employee services. As part of this partnership, TCS, who operate a global service delivery centre in Ireland, will develop solutions on the ServiceNow platform that will use trusted AI and a unified governance model to make enterprise workflows more efficient, proactive, and insight-driven. These solutions will be offered through TCS's AI-led, autonomous global business solutions portfolio. Amit Zavery, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Product Officer, ServiceNow, said, "As global enterprises rethink operating models for growth and efficiency, they are looking for partners that can deliver innovation, execution, and governance at scale. Together with TCS, we are helping enterprises move beyond isolated AI experiments by building agentic AI natively into workflows, modernising legacy environments, and driving measurable business outcomes." Aarthi Subramanian, Executive Director – President and Chief Operating Officer, TCS, said, "Today, enterprises are ready to move beyond AI pilots to scaled, business-wide transformation. Our partnership with ServiceNow brings together trusted AI, modern workflows, and deep industry knowledge that will help customers reimagine workflows for the AI era using TCS's five-stage AI Autonomy Framework. This collaboration will help clients embed intelligence across their IT, business operations, and customer functions, driving speed, efficiency, and sustained competitive advantage." The new offerings will break down silos between corporate functions and business units, transform the flow of work using agentic AI, and enable clients to get a holistic, insights-driven view of their organisations. For example, HR operations could shift from fragmented services to a unified, experience-led hire-to-retire lifecycle that increases employee productivity, engagement, and retention. In addition, customer order processing could change from a slow, multi-step order cycle to a high-velocity revenue engine that improves cash flow and revenue predictability, unlocking capital for growth. Currently, TCS is the largest user of ServiceNow's IT Asset Management, deploying the offering across thousands of devices used by TCS's workforce over a period of three months. This highlights a strong foundation that not only validates the partnership but also affirms the credibility of the solutions that both organisations aim to deliver for their clients. The two companies will also invest in co-innovation labs, solution showcases, and integrated go-to-market programs for clients. The TCS partnership with ServiceNow will play a central role in supporting TCS's aspiration to become the world's largest AI-led technology services company.

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I explore why Bill McDermott says ServiceNow is not a SaaS company and why SaaS is “on the menu.”Highlights00:03 — Welcome back to Cloud Wars Minute. The big thing is ServiceNow. As Bill McDermott says, ServiceNow is hungry and SaaS is on the menu. He went to great lengths in ServiceNow's recent Q4 earnings call, and also in a follow-up interview with Jim Cramer of Mad Money, to say that ServiceNow is doing great. We hit and exceeded all our numbers. We are not a SaaS company now.00:34 — One of the reasons McDermott wants to emphasize this separation from the SaaS community is because the SaaS business has been getting ravaged by Wall Street analysts who are thinking that AI, generative AI is going to completely gut the whole SaaS model. So they have knocked anywhere from 50, 60, 70% off the market caps of some leading SaaS companies.01:09 — He said AI, generative AI, and workflows and data are going to be the new model, the old model of traditional SaaS applications, or of what McDermott referred to repeatedly as features and functions. He said those are things of the past. We are the AI platform on which a lot of these SaaS apps will work and they'll operate.02:03 — Hyperscale is a nice name, but it doesn't really describe all that they do. Some of them offer applications, application development. They all offer databases. You've now got SaaS companies that got caught up in just features and functions that don't drive value and don't get companies better prepared for the AI Economy. They're all rolled together now.03:05 — "Our stock price and our valuation have taken a huge hit because we are being misinterpreted as being part of the SaaS world." We are not in the SaaS neighborhood. We are not a SaaS company. SaaS is on the menu. We're hungry. AI and ServiceNow are going to eat a lot of these, devour a lot of these feature and function application companies. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send a textThis week's enterprise software developments underscore a widening gap between rapid AI-driven platform innovation and the unresolved execution risks embedded in large-scale ERP programs. On one side of the ledger, Mendix and OutSystems both advanced their agentic AI roadmaps with new releases aimed at operationalizing autonomous workflows, while ServiceNow's unveiling of its AI Experience, Sprinklr's new AI capabilities, and Braze's product enhancements at Forge 2025 reinforce how aggressively vendors across ITSM, CX, and marketing automation are repositioning around AI-first interaction layers. Salesforce's latest Slack updates and Upstream Works' enhanced agent desktop further extend this trend into collaboration and contact center operations, signaling that AI augmentation is now table stakes across front-office and service environments. In parallel, Plex's expanded connected worker integrations highlight how these same concepts are being pushed into manufacturing execution and workforce enablement, while Cleo's invoice payment and financing solution reflects growing pressure to modernize B2B financial operations. Yet this innovation narrative is tempered by Daedong USA's loss of an injunction in its ERP dispute—placing its $11.4 billion suit in jeopardy—which serves as a reminder that beneath the AI acceleration, legacy implementation failures, legal exposure, and governance breakdowns continue to create material risk for enterprises betting on large transformation programs.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=_Arr9GjwOBsQuestions for Panelists?
In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I break down ServiceNow's latest AI expansion with Anthropic and what it means for enterprise workflows.Highlights00:04 — I recently reported on ServiceNow's expanded collaboration with OpenAI. That agreement makes OpenAI's models the go-to solution for companies running upwards of 80 billion annual workflows on the ServiceNow platform.00:17 — Now, ServiceNow has announced that Anthropic's Claude models will be integrated into core ServiceNow workflows for tasks like app development, with Claude serving as the default model powering the ServiceNow Build Agent — the company's tool for easy development of agentic workflows.00:37 — This is what ServiceNow Chairman and CEO Bill McDermott had to say about the announcement: “ServiceNow and Anthropic are turning intelligence into action through AI-native workflows for the world's largest enterprises ... Together, we are proving that deeply integrated platforms with an open ecosystem are how the future is built.”01:12 — In addition to Build Agent, ServiceNow is integrating Claude alongside purpose-built solutions throughout the implementation lifecycle, with the aim of achieving a 50% reduction in the time it takes customers to deploy solutions built on the ServiceNow AI platform.01:31 — ServiceNow and Anthropic are also building agent-based workflows for specific industries, including healthcare and life sciences, for tasks such as research and analysis. Just as it has done with OpenAI, ServiceNow is integrating Claude directly into workflows — and it's this integration that can lead to much better outcomes for AI initiatives.02:03 — By making these model choices the default, ServiceNow removes the guesswork from customer decision-making and enables customers to rely on the company's expertise to achieve the best results.

Federal Tech Podcast: Listen and learn how successful companies get federal contracts
Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com Way back in 2011, one of the goals of FedRAMP was to eliminate software redundancy. The federal government had evolved to the point where one agency would spend millions of dollars on the same application program that the agency in the same zip code had just invested heavily in. The theory proposed by luminaries like Vivek Kundra was to move to the cloud to share services. Reducing cost and improving resilience. FedRAMP was the initiative that established a safe environment for federal cloud use. Companies can comply with regulations outlined in an Authorization to Operate (ATO). Well, fifteen years later, and we are seeing the same duplication not in the application programs, but in the process to get the ATO itself. For example, FedRAMP, RMF, and agency internal policies may require specific artifacts to satisfy one or the other. During the interview, Travis Howerton paints the legacy model—static documentation, annual/3-year audits, spreadsheets. His solution is to have AI assist with documentation, which will drastically reduce compliance time; he cites an example of reducing a process from 52 weeks to 356 weeks. RegScale uses OSCAL (XML/YAML/JSON) to auto-generate RMF artifacts and integrate with SIEMs (Splunk, Elastic), Axonius, ServiceNow, and APIs. Howerton understands the limitations of many automated systems and suggests that a human is a key component after the machine language has assembled the data to make the decision.

Perform 2026 felt like a turning point for Dynatrace, and when Steve Tack joined me for his fourth appearance on the show, it was clear this was not business as usual. We began with a little Perform nostalgia, from Dave Anderson's unforgettable "Full Stack Baby" moment to the debut of AI Rick on the keynote stage. But the humor quickly gave way to substance. Because beneath the spectacle, Dynatrace introduced something that signals a broader shift in observability: Dynatrace Intelligence. Steve was candid about the problem they set out to solve. Too much focus on ingesting data. Too much time spent stitching tools together. Too many dashboards. Too many alerts. The real opportunity, he argued, is turning telemetry into trusted, automated action. And that means blending deterministic AI with agentic systems in a way enterprises can actually trust. We unpacked what that looks like in practice. From United Airlines using a digital cockpit to improve operational performance, to TELUS and Vodafone demonstrating measurable ROI on stage, the emphasis at Perform was firmly on production outcomes rather than pilot projects. As Steve put it, the industry has spent long enough in "pilot purgatory." The next phase demands real-world deployment and real return. A big part of that confidence comes from the foundations Dynatrace has laid with Grail and Smartscape. By combining unified telemetry in its data lakehouse with real-time topology mapping and causal AI, Dynatrace is positioning itself as the engine behind explainable, trustworthy automation. When hyperscaler agents from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud call Dynatrace Intelligence, they are expected to receive answers grounded in causal context rather than probabilistic guesswork. We also explored what this means for developers, who often carry the burden of alert fatigue and fragmented tooling. New integrations into VS Code, Slack, Atlassian, and ServiceNow aim to bring observability directly into the developer workflow. The goal is simple in theory and complex in execution: keep engineers in their flow, reduce toil, and amplify human decision-making rather than replace it. Of course, autonomy raises questions about risk. Steve acknowledged that for now, humans remain firmly in the loop, with most agentic interactions still requiring checkpoints. But as trust grows, so will the willingness to let systems self-optimize, self-heal, and remediate issues automatically. We closed by zooming out. In a market saturated with AI claims, Steve encouraged listeners to bet on change rather than cling to the status quo. There will be hype. There will be agent washing. But there is also real value emerging for those prepared to experiment, learn, and scale responsibly. If you want to understand where AI observability is heading, and how deterministic and agentic intelligence can coexist inside enterprise operations, this episode offers a grounded, practical perspective straight from the Perform show floor.

WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
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?

AI Agents promise to revolutionize how we operate our companies, but this is much more than just recording meetings and summarizing emails. How do you build an Agent (and Superagent) architecture to re-engineer HR and what is the role of your core HCM platforms? Well this is the trillion dollar question challenging every business software provider, and it has a huge impact on your HR and overall AI strategy. In this podcast I explain this topic and describe how employee onboarding, as an example, could be entirely redesigned for speed, scale, and agility. This is a new world and for the first time in my career each of us, regardless of tech experience, will be able to redesign how our HR function works to move from “work productivity” to automation and tremendous new value creation strategies in HR. Note that this week OpenAI announced its Frontier platform to help build enterprise agents. Microsoft recently introduced Agent 365 to help build enterprise Superagents. ServiceNow offers its Enterprise AI Control Tower, and Workday has introduced the Workday Agent System of Record. The space of agent management platforms is just beginning. As you listen to this and ponder your situation I hope you consult Galileo for advice or call us. Our Systemic HR AI Blueprint is here to help you design and implement AI apps that will revolutionize HR and your business. Enterprise AI is an exciting new domain and we are here to help.

Feb 5, 2026: Are software vendors in trouble? Why are employees suddenly complying with return-to-office mandates? And what happens when leaders are afraid to ask their own teams for feedback? In today's episode of Future-Ready Today, we unpack five stories that together reveal a major reset happening inside organizations: Why Workday is cutting jobs — and what falling enterprise software stocks (including ServiceNow) signal about how AI is disrupting traditional SaaS business models. New data showing workers backing down on return-to-office demands as employers reclaim leverage. A leadership study revealing that senior executives want feedback — but fear appearing weak if they ask. Layoffs surging to the highest January level since 2009, driven in part by restructuring at UPS following shifts in volume from Amazon. And research from Bain & Company showing a massive disconnect between leaders who think change is working and employees who say it isn't.
George Noble, CIO of Noble Capital Advisors, lays out his big theme for 2026: rotation. George argues that the debasement trade is the dominant macro narrative, with the bill coming due for decades of reckless fiscal and monetary policy. He calls the 60/40 portfolio dead, urging investors to dump bonds and buy gold, noting that gold miners could double in 12 months if prices hold. He makes the case that the AI trade is over. Noble sees energy as one of the most compelling opportunities. He expects emerging markets and foreign equities to continue outperforming the US, small caps to beat large caps, and the equal-weight S&P to trounce the cap-weighted index. His bottom line for investors: get out of bonds, buy gold, add energy, put money abroad, and switch from cap-weighted to equal-weight.Links: George Noble's Independent Research Conference: https://noble-capevents.com/X: https://x.com/gnoble79Timestamps: 0:00 Welcome and intro to George Noble 1:17 The debasement trade: The big macro picture 3:42 The bill is coming due for decades of reckless policy 5:10 The US government's math doesn't work — bond yields way too low6:55 2026 theme: Rotation — don't worship the altar of price 7:06 The macro backdrop and where to be allocated 7:33 US exceptionalism is fading — fiscal pulse now in Europe 8:45 China outperforming the US — and it's going to continue 9:48 Rotation out of US dollar-based assets 11:27 Long bond headed north of 5%?

The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
As Meta and Microsoft report earnings, markets are sending a mixed but revealing signal about AI: this doesn't look like a classic bubble fear so much as a judgment about who's winning the AI narrative. Meta is rewarded for aggressive spending paired with visible revenue impact, while Microsoft is punished for caution and slowing cloud growth despite massive backlog demand. The takeaway isn't that investors are fleeing AI—it's that they're increasingly selective about which AI stories they believe will convert spending into growth. In the headlines: SoftBank eyes another $30B into OpenAI, ServiceNow deepens its Anthropic partnership, Microsoft scrambles to respond to Claude Cowork, Google upgrades Chrome with agentic browsing, and Tesla invests $2B into xAI.Brought to you by:KPMG – Discover how AI is transforming possibility into reality.

France's decision to discontinue American collaboration platforms such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams for government use—replacing them with the domestically developed Vizio platform—signals a shift toward digital sovereignty and data control within regulated jurisdictions. This move, formalized as part of France's Suite Numerique and to be implemented by 2027, highlights the increasing fragmentation of technology policy where national governments assert authority over platform selection and sensitive data handling. The development underscores operational risk for MSPs and IT service providers as assumptions of technology homogeneity across regions become unreliable.Supporting these shifts, South Korea enacted the world's first comprehensive AI legislation, requiring mandatory labeling of AI-generated content and risk assessments for high-impact systems, such as those in hiring and healthcare. According to the transcript, 98% of AI startups in South Korea report they are not prepared for compliance. Both developments reveal a pattern: early regulatory efforts tend to produce vague requirements, unclear enforcement, and real operational complexity. Providers operating in multiple jurisdictions must now anticipate compliance fragmentation and increased overhead as regulatory regimes diverge.Additional analysis focused on the continued evolution of the managed services stack, particularly through the lens of AI and workflow automation. Companies like Thrive are investing in enterprise platforms that embed AI-driven reasoning within workflow tools, shifting coordination away from traditional PSA ticketing systems. Meanwhile, integrations such as Quark Cyber with ScalePad's Lifecycle Manager X, and new partnerships between ServiceNow, TeamViewer, Anthropic, and OpenAI, illustrate a market splitting between providers focused on standardization and those managing more complex, enterprise-like environments. Microsoft's financial results further highlighted this trend, with record capital expenditure on AI infrastructure and increased reliance on proprietary chips to reduce dependency on external vendors like Nvidia and OpenAI.For MSPs, these developments raise practical governance and accountability questions. Shifts in regulatory authority and technology platforms create increased risk exposure for providers that do not proactively manage cross-jurisdictional compliance and secure defaults. Vendors are tightening control over platforms as AI becomes central to product architecture, often prioritizing internal risk management over shared upside with partners. Providers that fail to enforce robust data governance, understand cost drift, or plan for architectural lock-in are positioned less as strategic advisors and more as absorbers of client and vendor risk.Four things to know today00:00 France's Platform Ban and South Korea's AI Law Show Regulation Catching Up to Technology04:23 AI Is Reshaping the MSP Tool Stack as Thrive, ServiceNow, and ScalePad Take Different Paths07:37 Microsoft's SMTP AUTH Delay and CISA's AI Slip Show the Risk of Optional Security ControlsAND10:26 Earnings Show Microsoft Turning AI From Feature to Infrastructure as Partner Risk GrowsSponsored by: TimeZest
