The keynotes are done. The announcements have been made. Now it's time to talk about what Sapphire 2026 actually meant.
In this episode, Alexander Greb is joined by two of the most respected independent analysts in the SAP ecosystem — Jon Reed (Diginomica) and Josh Greenbaum (Enterprise Applications Consulting) — for an unfiltered breakdown of everything that happened in Orlando.
They get into the Autonomous Enterprise vision and how much of it is actually ready today. They talk about why the partner community is facing its most significant business model shift in a generation — and what the six different types of SAP partners each need to do differently. They cover what the best customers at Sapphire had in common, why your 20 years of SAP experience alone won't carry you through what's coming, and what SAP still needs to get right on APIs, MCP, transparency, and partner advocacy.
Plus: the question everyone is asking but nobody wants to answer: what percentage of the Autonomous Enterprise is actually here right now? Jon and Josh give their numbers. And they don't duck it.
The episode closes with three things everyone in the SAP ecosystem should act on right now: one to investigate, one to stop worrying about, and one to watch closely over the next six months.
If you were at Sapphire, this will sharpen what you saw. If you weren't, this is the briefing you needed.
