Nearly halfway into 2026, enterprises are beginning to see tangible returns on their AI investments. Yet many are discovering that scaling requires something far less glamorous than flashy frontier models and state-of-the-art benchmarking: Clean, interoperable, governed data. According to a new AI Momentum Survey from Dun & Bradstreet, 97% of organizations report active AI initiatives,…
More than 20,000 SAP customers are “stuck” on legacy ECC systems due to customizations, according to the CEO of SAP partner MyWave, Geraldine McBride, and many won’t migrate anytime soon. At Sapphire 2026, SAP offered them a path to AI, but only if they commit half their maintenance spend to the cloud first. The offer,…
A Replit AI coding agent deleted a company’s live production database during an active code freeze last year. “This was a catastrophic failure on my part,” it nonchalantly admitted. “I destroyed months of work in seconds.” While the data was eventually restored with a rollback, the agent believed the destruction was permanent and had no…

The guidance extends traditional SBOM concepts into AI by calling…
A CISO walked out of the RSA conference last month and asked an honest question. “When does it make sense to create agents, sub-agents and swarms of agents versus digital twins?” He wasn’t looking for a sales pitch. He had just sat through days of keynotes, breakouts and vendor pitches where AI got more airtime…
Before an organization launches any AI initiative, considering how disruptive it can be, it’s essential to prioritize governance, as well as make sure sufficient training and change management strategies are implemented. “I think it’s a combination of having all these things in place, otherwise it creates fear and anxiety,” says Aditya Bhasin, Stanford Healthcare’s VP…
A wave of AI agents has recently emerged for sales and revenue teams, including Highspot’s Deal Agent, an agent to accelerate pipeline generation and conversion, and Qualified’s Piper for Demandbase, an AI sales development representative (SDR) agent.

SAP made bold promises about AI at Sapphire 2025: Knowledge Graph, Joule Studio, and AI Agent Hub would ship by the end of the year. Those tools are now technically available, but adoption has lagged, and SAP is already announcing version 2.0. “Joule Studio adoption has been minimal compared to what we’d like,” said Manoj…
For most of my technology career spanning more than two decades, software architecture was primarily seen as a technical discipline — concerned with system design, scalability and integration patterns. Architecture reviews happened after strategy decisions were made, and success was often measured by whether systems operated as per the functional requirements and performed reliably under…
