SAP and Enterprise Trends Podcasts from Jon Reed (@jonerp) of diginomica.com
Jon's familiar foil Josh Greenbaum took off on a plane before the guys could record an on-site event review. Instead, they hopped on a post-event video call to break down whether SAP Connect 2026 lived up to expectations, and delivered for customers. The two compare notes on what they dug up on the ground, including Josh's customer views and Jon's AI geek outs. The biggest topic? How did SAP fare bringing the customers along - and not just the so-called "keynote luminaries," but the rest of the attendees and customers beyond? Why was SAP positioning so hard against "generic models"? Will...

The audience had questions for Jon also - this sets up another great AI debate with Michael Wu on CRMKonvos in October. See the...
