Acumatica Summit 2026 - the virtual review with Brian Sommer
SAP and Enterprise Trends Podcasts from Jon Reed (@jonerp) of diginomica.com
An unforgiving storm kept Brian from the tarmac, but that didn't stop Jon and Brian from doing their annual Acumatica Summit review, the virtual edition. On the last afternoon of the show, Jon caught up with Brian for an online review of Acumatica's AI news and strategy... What moved the needle, and what didn't? The guys also delve into customer proof points, including the use case discussion Brian did with a customer this week. Brian also lured Jon into ripping into a major cloud ERP versus AI fanboys/girls rant, but to keep this podcast focused, that will be released next week.

SAP and Enterprise Trends Podcasts from Jon Reed (@jonerp) of diginomica.com
In part two of my on-site taping at CCE 2025 with Esteban Kolsky, we get into what he's learned in the past year on curating intelligence for executives. But why is there a need for this service? How are the big analyst firms falling short? Is the AI research disruption real, BS, or some combination? Kolsky walks us through what he's learned in the last year, firming up a curated intelligence offering for executives and boards with Constellation Research. And yes, AI is involved, but with a twist.

SAP and Enterprise Trends Podcasts from Jon Reed (@jonerp) of diginomica.com

We also hash out AI context, and why Kolksy doesn't like the "context engineering" catchprase, and why I have an equal problem with "grounding" of LLMs. Stay tuned for part two, where we shift gears to discuss Kolsky's progress on decision intelligence for executives and boards, why...
