"In this comprehensive interview at SAP Connect in Las Vegas, Stephan de Barse, President of Global Business Suite at SAP, makes the case for why best-of-breed enterprise software is being replaced by best-of-suite approaches, driven by the commoditization of the application layer through AI. De Barse, who previously spent seven years at o9 Solutions, a best-of-breed supply chain vendor, brings a unique perspective to the debate."
"I do, wholeheartedly. And I came from a best-of-breed solution provider. So I spent seven years as a best-of-breed solution provider in supply chain. I have seen best of breed, now I'm best of suite. So I feel I can contrast and compare in a good way. But I absolutely stand by that. Question: Which solution was that, just for the record? Stephan de Barse: It was o9 Solutions, and it is a supply chain best-of-breed vendor in the supply chain space."
Stephan de Barse asserts that best-of-suite approaches will supplant best-of-breed enterprise software as AI commoditizes the application layer similarly to cloud commoditization of infrastructure. SAP centers its AI strategy on Joule and addresses challenges of operating in multi-vendor environments, emphasizing the need for standards for agent-to-agent communication and governance for proliferating AI agents. De Barse leverages seven years of experience at o9 Solutions to contrast best-of-breed and best-of-suite models. The focus shifts toward platform and integrated-suite capabilities where most long-term value will reside, while managing interoperability and agent orchestration remains critical.
