And now for something completely different! Let's have a live look at Analyst Relations disruptions - via a feedback session on AI-generated content on how AR needs to change.

SAP and Enterprise Trends Podcasts from Jon Reed (@jonerp) of diginomica.com
We know that enterprise data quality is a problem - and the biggest obstacle to successful AI. But the truth can quickly become a static phrase. What does the data really show? What are the savvy companies doing? How deep does this organizational problem go? Recently, a monster piece of independent research, co-authored by diginomica's Alyx Macqueen and Maureen Blandford for Serendipitus, investigated this problem, and surfaced surprising insights. So let's get Blandford and Macqueen in the proverbial hot seat, and find out about their method, what they learned, and the issues that this...

Ask us Anything - the SAP Sapphire show floor live edition
SAP and Enterprise Trends Podcasts from Jon Reed (@jonerp) of diginomica.com
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...

Salesforce Connections 2026 - a podcast review with Rebecca Wettemann
SAP and Enterprise Trends Podcasts from Jon Reed (@jonerp) of diginomica.com
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...

Epicor Insights - is "Cognitive ERP" the way forward, and what does it mean for customers?
SAP and Enterprise Trends Podcasts from Jon Reed (@jonerp) of diginomica.com
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... Did Brian managed to avoid getting through the...

The SAP Sapphire 2026 final review - with Josh Greenbaum
SAP and Enterprise Trends Podcasts from Jon Reed (@jonerp) of diginomica.com
In a time-honored tradition, on the Thursday morning after Sapphire 2026, Josh Greenbaum and I commandeered an abandoned session room at the Hilton to ask ourselves the burning questions: what the heck just happened? What we can take away? Where did SAP advance the conversation, or come up short? Given I have issued multiple podcast from the event, I issued another challenge: let's not repeat prior podcast topics as much as possible. Also, in the context of SAP's new "autonomous enterprise" all-in messaging, the clear/awkward question must be asked: has Greenbaum, one of the most vociferous...

SAP Sapphire review - the UKISUG's Conor Riordan talks AI migration tools, adoption questions, and yes - APIs
SAP and Enterprise Trends Podcasts from Jon Reed (@jonerp) of diginomica.com
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...
