"Alam added on the call that SAP needed to bring in capabilities for non-SAP data and round out SAP BDC to be an agentic platform. "How many agentic platforms can enterprises maintain? It's never going to be one, but it's probably not going to be also 20," he said. Irfan Khann, President and Chief Product Officer, SAP Data & Analytics, said: "We need to be able to support SAP and non-SAP data and Reltio gives us zero copy sharing on the ingest side and the governance to look at the semantic value of data beyond SAP." "We've now become much more opinionated about what we need to have inside our platform as opposed to off the platform." "Reltio has an AI-first and cloud-first mentality and has done a lot of work from its inception to have a composable set of core AIs that are callable."

"“If we do not actively manage contribution quality in an AI-driven world, we are not just risking security issues or technical debt,” says Croce. “We are putting the ecosystem itself at risk.” For now, it comes down to contributor accountability. “Accountability is the real standard,” Croce adds. “Contributors need to understand and stand behind what they submit.”" ]]> tag:dlvr.it,2026-03-29:0d5b60a34969f62357f60b1c2c2b0449 2026-03-29T22:47:14-07:00
"Bryan Hancock: One of the central ideas of the book is that success comes from adapting behavior to context. Why is adaptability more valuable than staying true to your sense of self at work? Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic: We’ve all given feedback to people who just say, “It’s just who I am,” like that’s a valid answer for not wanting to change. But to be an effective leader, you have to be sensitive and flex to the nuances of a situation. Versatility is one of the most important skills a leader can harness and develop. We’ve known for decades that emotional intelligence is one of the fundamental ingredients utilized by successful managers and leaders to be effective. EQ [emotional quotient] is about exercising empathy, understanding what people think of you, and flexing your behavior because you understand your right for self-expression must not override your obligation to others.

"Today, there are more unknowns than knowns. The traditional approaches to supply chain decision-making focused on known inputs, using known models to drive known outcomes. In the world of unknowns, generative AI, agent-based workflows, What-if Simulation, and What-if Optimization are growing in importance. The benefit is quicker, role-based insight, along with workflow collaboration, to answer questions, increase awareness, and drive action. Traditional APS solutions focused on known inputs, known models, and known outputs. I laughed this week with the publication of the Gartner Magic Quadrant. The Reason? Fifty percent of the solutions listed as top performers with both vision and execution do not scale for the global multi-national. Most focus on optimization in an architecture that is only a good fit for smaller, regional teams. By and large, we are not asking the right questions." ]]> tag:dlvr.it,2026-03-29:29f273ba633010e6c66c551e0c08980a 2026-03-29T22:47:08-07:00
"Enterprises need to focus on the business logic and deterministic workflows more than non-deterministic agents that'll allegedly just figure it out. For orchestration, the prerequisites are safe, governed and observable orchestration. LightHorse Enterprises Founder Colt McNealy said orchestration shouldn't be based on a "YOLO" approach. "The only reason you give agents that much room to run is because you don't have the proper infrastructure to run automation on your own," said McNealy. "In a couple of years, we'll be seeing people get their affairs in order to fix YOLO security." The AI control plane needs to be infused with context that can improve agent accuracy and enable them to scale. " ]]> tag:dlvr.it,2026-03-29:72059ed2a3736c0a04b442f9e3885906 2026-03-29T21:53:15-07:00
"Cycode CTO Ronen Slavin wrote that Claude Code Security represents a genuine technical advancement in static analysis, but that AI models are probabilistic by nature. Slavin argued that security teams need consistent, reproducible, audit-grade results, and that a scanning capability embedded in an IDE is useful but does not constitute infrastructure. Slavin’s position: SAST is one discipline within a much broader scope, and free scanning does not displace platforms that handle governance, pipeline integrity, and runtime behavior at enterprise scale." ]]> tag:dlvr.it,2026-03-29:3f1fe2b6b04945947a4e0781f1157388 2026-03-29T21:39:34-07:00
"But as we discussed on the show, almost every organization suffers from what we fondly call smelly data. They have decades of poorly categorized customer records, duplicate entries, and contradictory knowledge base articles. Pointing a state-of-the-art LLM at a mountain of unwashed data does not give you artificial intelligence; it gives you a very fast, very confident artificial idiot. Garbage in equals garbage out. It is a cliché because it is true. The organizations that are actually seeing a return on their AI investments are not the ones buying the flashiest tools. They are the ones putting in the hard and unglamorous work of normalizing their data models, cleaning up the data and integrating their core systems. If you do not have a pristine data foundation, your generative AI will simply generate more work for your human employees to clean up while chasing your customers down rabbit holes." ]]> tag:dlvr.it,2026-03-29:a1612a5b16b3f09e9a513043627a8768 2026-03-29T21:39:34-07:00
On ERP value, AI disruptions and where we go from here - hot issues from Sage Analyst Day 2026 https://ift.tt/AQZd5ch After a vigorous first day at the 2026 Sage analyst event, Brian Sommer and Jon Reed hash out an ERP vendor with a provocative approach to AI for finance. Why has Sage advanced the conversation with domain-specific finance models? What did the customers on-site say about AI adoption/disruption? Is there a compelling future for ERP beyond a simplistic image of agentic prompts? What open questions does Sage need to tackle at their upcoming Sage Future user event in late April? Note: due to saving Sage's news previews for Sage Future, this podcast focused on hot issues rather than state-of-the-company details. Those will be revealed/updated in a month's time at the user event. via Busting the omnichannel - enterprise hacks and chats https://ift.tt/5BHUyYd March 26, 2026 at 10:28PM ]]> tag:dlvr.it,2026-03-29:6c71093a5685493dedbfe25a46ca4f64 2026-03-29T21:39:34-07:00

"Companies need to identify and empower "responsible heretics," or people willing to challenge legacy systems, sunk costs and sacred cows. It’s not enough to invite innovation in theory. You must give explicit permission (and a plan) to navigate stakeholder friction when sunsetting old systems. The main barrier to AI and transformation is often not the technology, but legacy processes, governance and budgeting cycles that span multiple years. Slow governance will be overtaken by faster competitors. If you have an AI committee you've already lost. Continually ask the following: Why do we exist? Are our processes, people, and talent still fit for purpose? Getting AI right is the most important job as CEO. " ]]> tag:dlvr.it,2026-03-22:35cd4bddf9f6ebe75874cd1667918d93 2026-03-22T18:24:13-07:00

"There is a dangerous misconception that AI agents will completely replace human customer service teams. This is a recipe for disaster. No matter how advanced the model becomes, it will inevitably encounter an edge-case query it cannot resolve. Or your customer just wants to talk to a human. You need a seamless, immediate escalation path to a human representative. The goal of this technology is to augment your staff by handling routine transactions. It cannot (yet?) replace a human when a complex customer service issue arises. Keep your humans firmly in the loop." ]]> tag:dlvr.it,2026-03-22:82a574dbc2ad278a4da3f86763c3bca5 2026-03-22T18:11:11-07:00
"The paper indirectly illuminates LeCun’s devotion to world models over large-language-models’ text prediction. Or as the company’s homepage puts it: “We share one belief: real intelligence does not start in language. It starts in the world.” LeCun himself pioneered thinking that helped lead to LLMs, but he believes text can take the technology only so far. He aims to build systems that can adapt to reality because they are trained on reality, not on text as tokens or pixels next to pixels, but as machines able to train themselves to understand the laws of nature that toddlers and cats discern, without language."]]> tag:dlvr.it,2026-03-22:ca9136e5fc3963c00a1bb9f45a667ba2 2026-03-22T15:54:35-07:00
"One profession today that looks closest to the autoworker analogy is copywriting. If you’re a copywriter, you should already be learning multimedia and learning how to use AI tools to generate and manage all forms of content. Five years from now you won’t be manually writing and editing. You might be checking work, guiding it, generating variations, and certainly personalizing it at scale.

Top executives have recently signaled the plans to other senior leaders at Meta and told them to begin planning how to pare back, two of the people said.
