Migrating to S/4HANA involves strategic leadership, not just tech. The choice is yours: SAP-hosted or hyperscaler (AWS/Azure). Consider who truly owns your infrastructure, controls pricing, and shoulders responsibility for outages. #SAP #CloudMigration #BusinessStrategy https://t.co/9EpChYU9Cg
Implementation challenges haven't changed. The biggest reasons for failure in SAP projects today are the same as 20 years ago: projects driven by IT, not business. True success hinges on business leadership. #SAP #Implementation #Business https://t.co/hhJEtxwIUe
Centralizing analytics on a single platform? Not happening. The focus is on decentralized back-office systems and a common analytics layer for daily visualization. #Analytics #Strategy #BusinessTech https://t.co/7ObAL6iVQ5
SAP claims S/4HANA runs best on their infrastructure, but performance issues are rarely infrastructure-related. The real culprits are usually data volume, software configuration, or customizations. #SAP #ITInfrastructure #Performance https://t.co/l4zImu7UXw
Resistance to new software is common, especially when users want to stick to old processes. This dynamic often leads to project delays and cost overruns. Adapting to new tech requires careful change management. #ProjectManagement #ChangeManagement https://t.co/SgQrPEUnQD
ah, this is THE question: how to bring the feedback on changes back TO developers? i wrote this piece very recently on developer feedback loops in production: https://t.co/4GqKa1SCBA which includes this 3 min honeycomb demo from september: https://t.co/GNPVLI37YE
How can a company like @TIBCO win in the age of AI? Was just reading about their current market strategy and risk. I was involved with a TIBCO project while implementing a tax solution at a Fortune 1000 company. Focus...
Things Are Getting Wild: Re-Tool Everything for Speed In the end, despite the short term pessimism, I remain wildly optimistic for the future. https://www.philvenables.com/post/things-are-getting-wild-re-tool-everything-for-speed

Things Are Getting Wild: Re-Tool Everything for Speed The compounding set of changes we are experiencing in cybersecurity is deeply concerning. But this is a transition point. We should be short term pessimistic about the risks we face. At the same...
Stripe processes billions without human intervention AWS scales infrastructure autonomously Algorithmic trading firms execute millions of trades per second We're already living in the age of zero human companies. We just haven't removed the last human yet. That final step? It's closer than you think.

RISE with SAP might be too risky if long-term flexibility, cost, or optionality are top concerns. For businesses facing uncertainty or rapid evolution, consider hyperscaler-hosted S/4HANA to hedge your bets. #SAP #CloudComputing #BusinessTransformation https://t.co/xURleBJmTX
Deciding whether to move forward with RISE isn't a technical choice. It's a strategic one, impacting long-term costs, options, and flexibility. #StrategicDecisions #BusinessGrowth https://t.co/NzjZH7hSci

Optimization isn’t about cutting corners. It’s about sharpening them. This year, we reduced operational costs by 15% , no layoffs, no drop in quality. What changed? • Process Mapping → Exposed bottlenecks • Smart Automation → Freed the team for high-impact work • Lean Waste...

Don't wait for tech implementation to define future processes. Map them out early, resolve conflicting priorities, and gain clarity *before* building. This avoids slowdowns when developers are already deep in the build phase. #ProjectManagement #ProcessImprovement https://t.co/DLMASYHKkN
SAP marketing pitches RISE as the safest S/4HANA path, but IT teams might disagree. This isn't a technical choice, it's a business one. Let's cut through the marketing and find the right S/4HANA migration strategy for YOUR business. #SAP #S4HANA...
Clients hire us for S/4HANA projects because we act as an extension of their team. We have the expertise to implement S/4HANA, but without the typical system integrator agenda. We focus on your success, not just project size. #S4HANA #Consulting...
Slow decision-making is the primary reason digital transformation initiatives stall. Delays happen when assumptions of quick decisions don't match reality, often a symptom of excessive consensus-based leadership. #DecisionMaking #DigitalTransformation #Leadership https://t.co/3e5ADMz5P3
Using Microsoft's ecosystem for technology needs offers convenience and a one-stop shop. However, it creates vendor lock-in, making it challenging to switch platforms later if needed. #TechChoices #VendorLockIn https://t.co/cE6jSipywj
Tools can ease implementation, but some add risk. Consider the cost of licensing and integration. Models like RISE and GROW offer starter kits to test before full commitment, letting you sample features before buying licenses for everyone. #TechTools #Implementation https://t.co/YeApnMYwZC
When SAP owns your infrastructure, negotiating leverage vanishes. This diminishes your power to negotiate cloud contracts and even your options to exit the agreement for future hyperscaler moves. #SAP #CloudNegotiation https://t.co/2JjnbEXR2Y
Internal IT loves single ERPs for ease & scalability. But operations need flexibility for their unique 'secret sauce'. This conflict stalls projects. Alignment is key for success. #ERP #BusinessStrategy https://t.co/clOwOVSiuS

Big signal for enterprise AI 👇 @AnthropicAI + @Infosys are moving AI agents straight into regulated industries: Telecom, financial services, compliance-heavy environments. It’s all about making AI operational with the latest proven practices. Why this matters: Enterprise AI adoption was never blocked by model...
Enterprise software companies compete on accumulated operational insight. That embedded knowledge compounds over time. AI can generate applications. Institutional learning still requires experience in the field. https://lnkd.in/gef6zQ7u #AI
I struggle with the phrase “everyone’s a coder now.” And I hesitate to post because I don’t want you to read this as gatekeeping. If anything, I want more people to build, but in a stronger, more functional way. Building any...

It's not hard for software to get bloated over time. @datadoghq has a nice post about how they made an intentional effort to strip out old dependencies, dead code, and other things that made their agent too hefty. https://t.co/5OMhL4t5lr https://t.co/yXpAj3OH8w

Customer service is where artificial intelligence has officially moved past the hype. @NICEComms recently reported their full-year 2025 financial results, and the numbers point to a clear structural shift in enterprise adoption. Their AI annual recurring revenue grew 66% year over...

This is an interesting thread. Everyone is suggesting tools to solve the problem. I’d start by asking more about the data and the questions the customer is trying to answer or problems they are trying to solve first before recommending...
He refused to sell his product until his team used it themselves first. Then 100 customers signed in 6 weeks. 1,000 in year one. @markowitzadam built @DrataHQ to $100M+ ARR by proving trust with evidence - not promises. https://t.co/MZNP2TLl8H
This is a quick question with an equally quick answer— nothing. It’s just like what happened to the movie industry when the camcorder came out. Why? It’s not the camera, it’s where you point it. Traditional software companies do not...
$PANW: TR +15%, Product Rev +22%, TTM Software Firewall +42%, RPO +22% and 110 new platformization deals w/conserve but DD guides. $30B worth of M&A hasn't even kicked in yet.
My top 7 takeaways from my chat with Adam Markowitz who built Drata from from zero to $100M ARR in 4 years (8,000+ customers): 1. Product-market fit shows in buyer urgency, not just signups. Adam's edtech startup took years to...

Test for superintelligence: when the data in Fivetran’s salesforce is 100% accurate and up to date at all times, I’ll know we’re there.

Narratives can crush multiples faster than fundamentals change. Markets are pricing “software is dead” as if AI will commoditize SaaS overnight. But enterprises still need governance, permissioning, audit trails, compliance, uptime, and data orchestration. AI may change workflows, but it doesn’t...

Software is getting hit on fear of substitution more than evidence of structural deterioration in enterprise spending. When price action gets ahead of reality, the re-rating can be violent if the narrative cools.
Even after the SaaS dip, ServiceNow's market cap is north of $100mil "largely" for internal help desk. I've always been surprised how big the ITSM market is. Am I alone on that one?
