I've been tuned in on @SAP and its AI strategy for the past six months, and what stands out the most is how SAP is being very deliberate in where and how it is building out capabilities. This is very compelling for SAP users whose mission critical requirements need a bit more than probabilistic agents. Check out part 3 of my analysis here.

A few weeks ago, I pondered how Microsoft would continue to position Power Platform alongside the major advancements in the Copilot strategy. Last week, my concerns were put to rest from both the technology and community perspectives. This is one of 3 short videos available discussing Power Platform. Excited to hear even more at Ignite in a couple of weeks.

Last week, @IBM hosted TechXchange 2026 in Atlanta and I think it was the best one yet, not only in terms of content depth but also seeing the progress it has made in tightening up it's software story by shifting the AI focus to business outcomes vs. technical metrics. For a more in depth review check out my latest field note. #TechXchange #IBM #Agents #AI

An interesting part of fall events is when you can look back at the springtime events and measure how much of what a vendor promised became reality. @SAP did a nice job by tying off at its Connect event a week or so ago and I wrote about it here. Also, stay tuned as I will have another piece coming to cover TechEd which is happening this week.

Next week I am heading down to @IBM TechXchange, which I am quite excited about since I tend to like the more hands on events. There's been a lot of activity at IBM since the spring and while this is very much a tech event (which now also includes HashiCorp HashiConf as well) I have some thoughts on what I want out of IBM this year.....take a look at my video field note....

Check out my latest research on @Zoom and its new Unified Context Layer. Zoom is doing solid work making all those personal interactions way more actionable.

@IBM gets their TechXchange announcements rolling a bit early. And it's a good one!

Is that flight or just a controlled landing?

Yesterday, @googlecloud hosted the Gemini at Work event and to be honest. it had some really interesting pieces to it. I had been wondering a bit about Google's agent direction this year and the event helped me get my head straight. Check out my field note....

Thanks to Beth Bamonte and @marisala2020 for hosting me, @PatrickMoorhead and about 30 of our colleagues at the IBM Analyst Council. Can't share any details now, but I I will have much to say after @IBM TechXchange this month. However, I was impressed enough, I thought I'd share a little analyst BTS in this field note.....

It's too bad that @MongoDB made the news for the wrong reasons last week. At the MongoDB.local NYC event there were some really soilid announcements. I got the chance to take a deeper look at the Atlas Agent Engine preview and it's a cool way to help enterprise agents work with context and memory. Check out my field note on it below:

@Microsoft released it's new Copilot Client and Managed Runtime today. There's a lot to like here for IT shops who want to reign in Shadow AI and it's a very reasonable alternative to Low Code / No Code platforms (but not a full replacement quite yet). Check out my field note for the details.

Is this posturing or the beginning of a negotiation? Time will tell.

And, just like that @typesafeai and @Nvidia start showing us that LLMs alone are not the answer. Also every time I think of Jev, I think

@QAD_Community wraps up its Champions of Manufacturing event today and, it did a nice job of painting a more broad AI and agentic strategy that other vertically focused SaaS plays. I really think that showing both innovation on the plant floor and integration with adjacent apps will accelerate AI in an industry that tends to lag the technology.
