CXO Bi-Weekly Brief: Enterprise Software Selection Intelligence – Jul ‘26, Ep 4
Jul 31st, 2026 | 1 PM ET
Enterprise software is evolving fast. AI agents. Intelligent workflows. Platform consolidation. Together, they are reshaping enterprise technology strategy. In this CXO briefing, we analyze the latest enterprise software announcements, acquisitions, and partnerships. Then, we explain what they mean for enterprise architecture, ERP, CRM, AI, analytics, and digital transformation. Instead of repeating vendor news, we focus on strategic business impact.
Specifically, we cover major announcements from Accenture and Google Cloud, IBM, Oracle, Rackspace and Palantir, Acumatica, Celonis, Rippling, Agiloft, Alation, Epicor, SAS, Akeneo, LearnUpon, RainFocus, Simpro, Typeface, ActiveCampaign, and more. Next, we examine agentic AI, AI-native platforms, data intelligence, process automation, identity-aware analytics, and industry-specific innovations. Finally, we separate meaningful enterprise software trends from short-lived market hype.
Join us for an independent, vendor-neutral enterprise software analysis built for CXOs and technology leaders. Whether you lead ERP modernization, AI adoption, enterprise architecture, customer experience, or digital transformation, this webinar will help you make better technology decisions. As a result, you will strengthen investment priorities, reduce strategic risk, and gain a clearer view of where the enterprise software market is heading.
