Season 2026 Episode 11: Inside Sapphire 2026: The Autonomous Enterprise Unpacked

Description
 
In our latest episode of SUGTalks, Craig is joined by Conor Riordan and Ian Mallinson to discuss the main announcements and their experiences at this year's Sapphire conferences in Orlando and Madrid.
 
Conor and Ian reflect on SAP's headline framing as a business AI company, with the autonomous enterprise positioned as the destination. They share their honest read on how ready the new suite of agents really is. As they explain, much of it still feels directional rather than available today. The conversation also covers why the process and knowledge graph matter alongside data, and the cost and governance questions organisations need to ask before deploying agents.
