- Unplanned maintenance is repair work that has to start as soon as a failure or defect appears. It cannot wait for a job plan or a slot on the schedule. The visible impact of unplanned maintenance is the repair cost. However, its effect reaches much further, because it disrupts the crew, parts and production window that were already committed elsewhere. This is why maintenance leaders regularly track the share of each week that unplanned work takes up.
- Schedule compliance measures how much of a committed maintenance schedule gets completed as planned. The result is meaningful only when the plant defines the schedule period, freeze point, counting rules and formula. It matters as a maintenance KPI because every scheduled hour that slips comes back later as overtime, contractor hours or a longer outage. This guide explains the formulas, why 85% is the benchmark to hold and practical ways to improve execution without manipulating the metric.
- Inspection software encompasses a broad market with its functionality varying widely. Repair shops use it to check customer vehicles, construction firms use it to log rental equipment, and quality engineers use it for product-quality inspection on a production line. This guide focuses on industrial inspection software that helps plant teams check equipment, capture readings and evidence, and route defects for follow-up.
- A mechanical crew reaches a boiler feed water pump at 7 a.m. to change a bearing, then waits three hours because nobody scoped the steam isolation and the permit cannot be signed. Maintenance planning and scheduling exists to prevent this. Planning prepares each job so it can run without stopping, and maintenance scheduling commits only that prepared, planned work to a crew and a time window. This guide covers how the two functions differ, the seven-step process, how to prove a job is ready, what to measure and what poor planning costs industrial plants.
- Choosing work instructions software is about more than turning a PDF into guided steps on a tablet. Industrial teams also need to know whether the approved procedure reaches the right job, stays current when the process changes, and records what actually happened during the work. This guide compares ten of the best work instructions software platforms and gives each one a clear verdict on where it fits and where it does not. Every platform is scored on two things that a demo rarely shows: how the procedure reaches the technician, and what happens to the record after the job is […]
- Maintenance digitalization is the shift from paper, spreadsheets and disconnected tools to connected workflows where every work order, inspection, permit and parts movement is captured at the asset and written back to the system of record.
- A plant can have every role filled and still experience a manufacturing skills gap. Very often, open jobs are the visible part of the problem, while the most expensive issues show up on fully staffed shifts, where jobs take longer, wait for the one person who knows the asset, or go to an outside contractor. This guide treats the skills gap in manufacturing as an operating cost problem rather than only a hiring problem. It shows where the cost sits in your plant data, how to determine which gap you have, and where AI can shorten the path from new […]
- Shift handover software can mean different things depending on the operating environment. Some platforms are built for continuous process operations and connect the handover to plant data. Others bring handover into maintenance or EHS workflows, while simpler tools focus on replacing the paper logbook. This guide compares 10 platforms specifically for plant and process operations, with a focus on operational fit, integration, offline use, and how effectively information moves from one shift to the next. Workforce scheduling tools sit outside this comparison, because they solve a different operational need.
- Your maintenance work orders live in SAP Plant Maintenance (PM), while the working schedule lives in spreadsheets. Every Monday someone reconciles the two, and by Wednesday they no longer match. This gap becomes costly when jobs change, crews move, materials are delayed, or field conditions shift after the schedule is built. This guide compares the seven best maintenance planning and scheduling software options for SAP plants by how they connect to SAP, how they handle planning and readiness, and how closely they connect planning to field execution.
- Selecting the best work order software is a different decision for a large industrial plant than for a small maintenance team. At that scale, a work order system is effective only if it connects seamlessly to the systems you already run, such as SAP, IBM Maximo, or Oracle, and reaches technicians in the field even when connectivity is limited. This guide compares 9 work order software platforms through an asset-intensive operations lens, including oil and gas, chemicals, utilities, mining, and manufacturing.

- Revenue grows 24% to $1.77 billion and RPO accelerates to $4.7 billion – but the Q2 Cloud guide shows the first signs of the deceleration investors have been asking about.
- Elon had a bad mid-terms night and Sam wants to take your PC off you! A bad week for the tech bros all round…
- ASOS was the future once. Can following agentic fashion trends give it back the innovative spark it once had?
- It’s an interesting time in the professional services space. Large AI vendors with private equity backing are getting into the space. PSA and other tools might need a refresher to be more relevant in the AI age. AI will do more of the services work, too. So, it was interesting to get a peek into a new deal Unit4 made in this vertical.
- Something was different at this year's ASUG Tech Connect. SAP customers have shifted. They aren't in some kind of magical agentic future, but they have a direction of travel. Yet the concerns about migrations, security, and AI readiness linger. Can customers change the outcome for their peers?
- Data streaming vendor Confluent claims that it can now answer questions about the live state of a business directly from its platform – removing the need for an extra database that customers have been bolting on themselves.
- It’s taken over three decades and four AI eras to reach agentic analytics. Zoho’s Raju Vegesna explains why the projects that succeed will ground agents in shared business definitions and governed data – and what leaders should put in place now.
- HubSpot has rolled out a long game gambit around encouraging AI adoption, but the early signs look promising, says CEO Yamini Rangan.

- Our most recent Insights post, Year-End Close with SAP AI: What to Automate Before December 31, focused on getting the books closed faster and with stronger evidence. But a faster close is only half of the value equation. The other half is what finance does with those numbers once they are final, such as planning, forecasting, explaining variances and helping leadership decide what to do next.
- Our two most recent Insights posts looked at AI from the assurance side of finance. Autonomous Audits: Applying SAP AI to Continuous Assurance explored how continuous, population-level monitoring changes the audit, and Governing SAP AI Agents: Why the Control Plane Matters More Than the Model addressed how organizations keep AI agents accountable. In this post, we turn to the question that is on every controller's calendar right now: what can finance teams realistically do with SAP AI before the books close on December 31st?
- Our most recent Insights post, Autonomous Audits: Applying SAP AI to Continuous Assurance, explored how SAP AI enables an autonomous approach to audits, shifting assurance from periodic sampling to continuous, population-level monitoring.
- Our recent Insights posts have looked at how SAP AI and Joule are reshaping specific business areas, such as finance, compliance, quote-to-cash, supply chain and manufacturing, as well as industry-specific scenarios for software, telecom and utilities, and most recently the role of AI in clean core migrations to SAP Cloud ERP. In this post, we take on a topic that comes up in nearly every executive conversation we have: what happens to the audit when AI agents are doing the work?
- For many SAP ECC customers, the journey to SAP S/4HANA is no longer just a technical upgrade decision. It is a business transformation decision shaped by rising maintenance risk, accumulated custom code, fragmented processes, limited data visibility, and growing expectations for AI-enabled operations.
- For fast-scaling mid-market companies, replacing an entry-level ERP (such as Quickbooks or Netsuite) should be viewed as much more than simply an accounting-system upgrade. In reality, it offers an important opportunity to establish a scalable operating foundation; one that connects finance, procurement, sales, supply chain, and planning around trusted, real-time business data for companies that are growing in breadth and sophistication.
- AI is no longer just a feature companies bolt onto their products — it's becoming the pricing model itself. Vendors across software, industrial equipment, and services are shifting from flat subscriptions to usage-based consumption, outcome-based fees, prepaid AI credit pools, and equipment-as-a-service contracts built on AI-driven monitoring and predictive maintenance.
- This is the final episode of our ERP Mythbusters series. And we saved the biggest question for last.Is the solution you're running today actually built to take you where you want to go?For a lot of growing companies the honest answer is more complicated than it first appears. Many midmarket ERP solutions are a great fit early on. Accessible, fast to implement, easy to get started with. But as companies grow into new markets, face multi-entity reporting requirements, and start thinking seriously about AI the gaps tend to become more visible. Not because the solution is bad. But because the […]
- Here's something that surprises a lot of growing companies.SAP isn't just for the Fortune 500 anymore.For a long time that assumption made sense. SAP meant massive budgets, large IT teams, and multi-year projects built for multinationals. But the market has changed significantly. And what's available to midmarket companies today is genuinely different from what existed even five years ago.More than 460,000 organizations worldwide run SAP. And that number is growing fastest in the midmarket. Because SAP S/4HANA Cloud was built to bring enterprise-grade capability to companies at every stage of growth.👉 Watch Now:ERP Myth busters: Is SAP Only for Large […]
- Here's another myth that keeps organizations from modernizing.
- Something was different at this year's ASUG Tech Connect. SAP customers have shifted. They aren't in some kind of magical agentic future, but they have a direction of travel. Yet the concerns about migrations, security, and AI readiness linger. Can customers change the outcome for their peers?
- This week – as fall events roll on (and on), AI outcomes are in demand – but hard to nail down. Is the so-called AI human review tax a thing, or a flawed concept? An AI playbook would be swell – but are we any closer? As always, your whiffs – and diginomica's line in the sand with Meta.
- Esteban Kolsky, Chief Distiller at Constellation Research, has been issuing provocative board level research on what enterprise leaders are getting right (and wrong!) about enterprise AI. Live at CCE 2026, Reed and Kolsky sit down to break out some of the key issues Kolksy has surfaced, and why his research imperative has gained momentum amidst all the AI hype/BS. We cover Kolsky's advisory on resilient architectures, AI cost evaluations, and why the CEO should be the Chief AI Officer – and the pitfalls such a role presents. Halfway through the podcast, we switch gears to settle scores on several debates […]
- Jon Reed's CRMKonvos AI sparring partner Dr. Michael Wu couldn't make it, but the rest of the gang did – and we served up an enterprise AI reality check edition. What have we learned from the fall event season so far? What are vendors doing right – and wrong? Why does Jon think we are at a turning point with LLM agents? Are we past tokenmaxxing? Is automation the right framing for agentic AI? This session was sparked by some very sharp audience questions – and sets up the final push of the fall 2026 event season. Note: catch all […]
- Oracle AI World opened up more critical issues than any one person could nail down. Nothing beats an on-site podcast to ask the question: what just happened – and where should customers go from here? Here's the top issues from my show review podcast with Rebecca Wettemann.
- At the tail end of Oracle AI World 2026, day two, Jon sat down with Rebecca Wettemann of Valoir for an impromptu show review, in the protypical empty (but blessedly quiet) room. Did Oracle's agentic vision line up with customer realities? Was Fusion Claw an advance – if so, why? And how does Oracle's AI evolution point to the change in the value of language models – versus their surrounding architecture? How does Oracle customers' AI adoption path line up with Valoir's latest research – and where should Oracle go from here? These are some of the topics we hit […]
- Oracle AI World 2026 brought the autonomous runtime of Fusion Claw into the keynote glare. But how does this land with customer priorities – especially around governance and cost? On day one, I was able to surface notable answers from Oracle on why Fusion Claw matters, and why cost control is core to the architectural design.
- This week – agentic automation is the rage, but are we missing out on building cool (new) things? And: how do we govern and scale that? "The hackening" has begun, as agents press for vulnerabilities across all infrastructure. Gartner calls out AI failure, and yes – events (still) need our scrutiny!
- research reveal – let's have a provocative and sober AI discussion on what we've learned to date.
- This week – buyers face off against vendors, with AI liability at stake. What are we learning on AI contracts? AI security is a moving target, and so is the macro-economy. What gives, and when? Our event road show (and analysis) rolls on, and so do the whiffs – with a big assist from Meta.
- At Workday Rising 2026, I attended a different kind of session: customers getting answers on Workday AI – from other customers. The top issues? Assessing AI costs/ROI, leadership skills, and which UX to standardize on. But how did their hot topics match up with my own?
- Workday Rising 2026 is now in full swing: I've had the chance to hone in on the hot AI topics and chase them down for you. The rundown list so far: AI pricing and ROI, context, guardrails, and the high-stakes skirmish for AI UX.
- This week – context and harnesses make agents much better/smarter, but they aren't a cure all… Time for a gut check. AI architectures need resilience, beyond the short-termism. Fall event season rolls on, and so do we.
- 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"? […]
- For the SAP Connect 2026 opening keynote, Jon Reed was joined by Josh Greenbaum and Bonnie Duncan Tinder for their annual Connect watch party. Here, you can listen to the pregame and postgame reviews of a keynote that surprised all three of them. Pregame runs until 15:25; postgame runs until the end of the keynote for six more minutes of recap. You can see the full watch party including the keynote on LinkedIn at https://lnkd.in/p/g4_t-Puz. This was a high stakes keynote for SAP – did they accomplish what we thought they should? Where did they fall short? What did they […]
- Yep, it's that time. The Enterprise Month in Review is back and ready for your hot takes and savvy participation. As usual, Brian and Jon have our underrated stories of the month (Jon blows a bit of a gasket on autonomous agents). We'll also have a bit of AI Doomsday audience participation, and a research reveal on human talent and leadership to riff on. As always, Brian's infamous slide deck will be back. Note: if you want to check the slide deck, you see see the video replay at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-Xy8MVL5gw.
- I left SAP Sapphire Orlando with burning questions unanswered. I got a better result at SAP Connect. How much progress has SAP made on their autonomous enterprise plans? Here's my pick of the five hottest topics – and SAP's responses.
- As I type this, SAP Connect 2026 is set to kick off – and burning questions are in the air. Have customers embraced SAP's autonomous enterprise? Are there project stories to tell? We're about to find out. But first, my talk with SAP's Lara Albert hits an underrated theme: getting the talent and automation mix right.
- This week – AI, analytics and ROI… What are the metrics missing? Doomsday narratives meet enterprise realities, and something's got to give. Recursive self-improvement is questionable, but cybersecurity is not. As always, your whiffs.
- Is it SaaSpocalypse vindication time? Not yet – for Workday, or for me. But now that Workday is getting agentic AI traction with customers, it's definitely time to ask: what's working, and why? As Gerrit Kazmaier reveals, for Workday to gain momentum, the company had to make significant internal changes first. Time to listen in…
