CXO Bi-Weekly Brief: Enterprise Software Selection Intelligence – Oct ‘26, Ep 10

Group

Oct 23rd, 2026 | 1 PM ET

The enterprise software market is moving fast. And AI is driving the shift. AI agents are everywhere. So is intelligent automation. Meanwhile, industry-specific AI is gaining momentum. However, enterprise buyers want more. They want measurable ROI. They want better governance. Stronger process context. And, above all, they want AI that understands their industry. In this CXO Buyers Brief, we analyze Infor’s expanded Industry AI strategy. First, we examine its industry-specific AI approach. Then, we explore why generic AI may fall short for enterprise use cases. Next, we review Beeline and Insygna’s partnership.

Meanwhile, enterprise AI platforms are evolving quickly. For example, Kantata is launching Agent Studio. At the same time, Tempo Software is positioning Loop around human and AI work orchestration. Likewise, UiPath is introducing Cartographer for process intelligence. So, the market is moving beyond copilots. Instead, vendors are focusing on AI agents. They are also investing in process discovery. Moreover, they are expanding orchestration. And, increasingly, they are prioritizing AI governance and enterprise automation.

Finally, we cover major ERP, manufacturing, supply chain, marketing, and IT developments. First, QAD | Redzone is expanding Manufacturing Intelligence. Meanwhile, Manhattan Associates is introducing new solution editions. Likewise, Typeface is advancing AI content orchestration. And, finally, Flexera and Atlassian are deepening their collaboration around technology intelligence and IT service management. Join us as we connect the dots. More importantly, we separate AI hype from business value. Then, we examine the bigger market shifts. And, ultimately, we explain what these enterprise software trends mean for CXOs evaluating AI, ERP, finance, manufacturing, supply chain, workforce management, marketing automation, IT management, and enterprise technology platforms.
