    The Enterprise Edge - Craig Sullivan, GVP, Product Management, Oracle NetSuite

    Recorded live at NetSuite SuiteWorld 2026 in Las Vegas. Craig Sullivan, GVP, Product Management joined us for the second time in as many years. A year ago we talked about where AI in ERP was headed. This time we dug into what’s actually happening, and the proof is coming from customers. Craig walked through how companies like Therabody and Johnny Pops are using NetSuite’s AI capabilities to do more with lean teams, and why customers learning from other customers is the real engine of SuiteWorld. We also covered: 🔹 The shift from month-end close to continuous close, and why accurate numbers all period long make every AI insight downstream more trustworthy 🔹 Suite Skills: 45+ out-of-the-box skills that teach your AI of choice (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, or Ask Oracle) how your business and your NetSuite account work, so answers stay consistent 🔹 Quick Start: a free entry point for high-tech startups that automates the back office from day one so founders can focus on the hustle 🔹 Suite Express: using AI to ingest a company’s documents and legacy data and propose a tailored implementation, cutting time to value dramatically Whether you’re a CFO, a founder, or a NetSuite partner, this one’s worth a listen.

    EdgeBytes, by The Enterprise Edge: Bread & Boxes - What Grupo Bimbo & DHL Say About Oracle's AI Bet

    NEW EdgeBytes episode from The Enterprise Edge, recorded live at Oracle AI World 2026 in Las Vegas! This week, I sat down with Oracle customers Grupo Bimbo and DHL Supply Chain. One makes things that spoil, the other moves things for a living, and both told me almost the same thing: Oracle is shipping faster than they can absorb. Here are the other common themes that came through: 🔹 Getting ready for AI started years ago. Both companies consolidated onto one platform long before anyone said “agentic.” When agents arrived, DHL’s data models held up without changes. 🔹 The profit is in finding problems sooner. Grupo Bimbo can spend 30 days tracking down a pattern of waste on a product with seven days of shelf life. Its prediction: “Reporting is going to die.” 🔹 Ask the vendor to show you the receipts. Bimbo asked Oracle’s presenter, “Is there an undo button?” DHL’s rule: “We’re not marking our own homework.” 🔹 Don’t pitch AI as headcount reduction. DHL makes the case on quality, risk and compliance first, and lets efficiency follow. 🔹 Keep the team small and the rules tight. DHL has two or three people building agents at a time. Its first agent was built in one afternoon by a consultant who isn’t a developer. Stream this episode now, and be sure to LIKE, SHARE and COMMENT!

    The Enterprise Edge - Kaushal Kurapati, GVP, Products, Agentic AI Platform, Oracle

    Plan the Work, Work the Plan: Inside Oracle’s Fusion Claw with Kaushal Kurapati The bottleneck in enterprise AI just moved. It’s no longer the software vendor. It’s you. Nearly every customer I spoke with this week said the same thing, unprompted: “We can’t keep up.” I sat down with Kaushal Kurapati, Oracle’s GVP of Products for the AI Agent Platform, to talk about Fusion Claw and what’s changing. Three takeaways: 🧠 Think, then do. The LLM plans. Deterministic execution handles the million rows. You don’t need a frontier model for every step, and that’s how token costs stop being a black box. 🎚️ Autonomy is a dial, not a switch. A $10 invoice can run on its own. A $100K check gets a human. The question is always: what’s the blast radius if it’s wrong? 🧾 Trust comes from receipts. Every Claw run produces a time-stamped outcome receipt: model used, sources referenced, policies applied, records changed. Something you can actually hand to an audit committee. The tech is ready. The real question is whether your organization is. Stream the full episode and be sure to LIKE, SHARE and COMMENT

    EdgeBytes from The Enterprise Edge - SAP, Infor, and Workday Announcements | 10.08.26

    Three enterprise giants, 48 hours, one admission: the AI model is no longer the product. In this EdgeBytes, Mark Vigoroso decodes back-to-back announcements from SAP, Infor, and Workday through one stubborn number: 40% of large companies are now scaling AI agents, up from 27% a year ago, yet the share seeing any profit impact is stuck near 37%. More push, same speed, so where's the drag? SAP is replacing its own screens before a rival can, growing cloud ERP 25% while its stock trades at roughly half of Morningstar's fair value. Infor took the consumption meter off the wall. Workday found that demand for basic prompting skills has already dropped 25%. In fifteen minutes you get a prognosis for each vendor and a playbook for CEOs, CFOs, and CIOs. The models are equal now; what your systems know, who answers for the outcome, and how little you drag along will decide who gets paid. Stream this vlog now and be sure to LIKE, SHARE and COMMENT!

    The Enterprise Edge - Sujata Joshi, Director, Solution Delivery, Cisco & Sridhar Balasubramanian, VP, Data & AI, CloudPaths

    Those things we swore we'd never do again after the cloud computing migration? Fact is, we are repeating some of those same missteps now in the agentic AI era. In this episode of the Enterprise Edge® Podcast, Mark Vigoroso sits down with Sujata Joshi, Director of SolutionDelivery at Cisco, and Sridhar Balasubramanian, VP of Data and AI at CloudPaths, to name mistakes like lift-and-shift, reborn as AI agents bolted onto broken processes. The stakes are real, with a Barclays survey showing 86% of CIOs plan to pull workloads back off the public cloud and Gartner predicting 40% of enterprises will cancel or demote autonomous agents by 2027. The two enterprise tech veterans in our studio lay out what to do instead: Pilot on your ugliest data, not your happy path. Stop driving a Ferrari through rush-hour traffic when plain automation will do. Keep agents out of requirements discovery until the tribal knowledge is written down. Replace the change advisory board (CAB), already dead at 50 changes an hour, with automated guardrails. Our guests’ verdict: the bottleneck is no longer capability but governance, and the payoff is revenue, not just productivity. The one cloud-era move worth copying outright is a shared responsibility model put in writing before the incident, "so that when something burns, there is an artifact to point to instead of an argument."

    The Enterprise Edge (in partnership with QAD) - Kevin Davis, VP, Finance, AmSafe

    Most AI stories end at the pilot. This one is unfolding on a P&L. On this special episode of The Enterprise Edge® podcast - produced in partnership with QAD | Redzone - Mark Vigoroso sits down with Kevin Davis, VP of Finance at AmSafe - the 500-person TransDigm company whose restraints are onvirtually every major airline on earth. Davis applies a much-needed and well-timed evidentiary standard to enterprise AI. He explains the hard bar AmSafe set - no project advances unless it strips 40–60% of the transactional activity out of a process - then produces the receipts: sales order entry now absorbs the same volume with 20–30% fewer people, daily cash posting fell from 3-4 hours to under one, and not one agent has been given access to the bank account. You'll hear exactly how he funded it with CapEx approved with committed savings attached, released in phases against fixed-firm bids, and how he walked internal and external auditors through agentic workflows before go-live under AS9100, FAA Part 145, and SOX. Davis also leaves us with the one thing he'd do differently, and it has nothing to do with technology! Stream this episode now and be sure to LIKE, SHARE and COMMENT! And grab Kevin for a 1:1 deep dive at QAD's Champions of Manufacturing, Chicago, September 21–23!

    The Enterprise Edge - Georg Glantschnig, CVP Dynamics 365 Agentic ERP, Microsoft

    How much room does finance actually have for AI to be wrong? That question sits at the center of this Enterprise Edge podcast conversation with Georg Glantschnig, Corporate Vice President for Agentic ERP at Microsoft Dynamics 365. (Spoiler: answer is “little to none.”) The Enterprise Edge CEO and Founder, Mark Vigoroso leads a discussion that digs into a sharp asymmetry: people forgive a colleague's mistake but not an algorithm's - and in finance, where the numbers are binary and every posting needs a trace, that asymmetry drives real architecture decisions. You'll hear how guardrails get built from deterministic business logic and company policy rather than left to chance, why accountability never actually shifts onto the agent itself, and how a move from code-first to model-first design is reshaping what an ERP system even is. There's also a clear-eyed look at the messy economics of consumption-based pricing replacing seat licenses, why month-end close could be the proving ground for continuous-close finance, and what emerging roles like "finance agentorchestrator" suggest about where accounting work is headed.

    "Three years ago... our success metric was OTIF. Andtoday it's the in-stock. It was a metric known by probably one or two people - I didn't know about it. And today we had our monthly tissue sector reunion, and we mentioned that our in-stock improved by 2%. Everybody was applauding. It's the first time anybody applauded for in-stock results." -- Xavier Duprat, VP, Supply Chain Planning & Fulfillment, Cascades.
