The great generative AI boom for enterprise software isn't happening yet as sales cycle grow longer due to platform bets, macroeconomic conditions and cost of capital crimping budgets.
What's really happening: Enterprise technology buyers aren't buying into grand enterprise software copilots, picking sides in large language models (LLMs) and platform bets that could easily equate to technology debt if they're not careful. It's also clear that generative AI projects are stealing budget dollars from enterprise software purchases.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang outlined the company's roadmap through 2027 including a new GPU platform called Rubin, a new CPU in Vera and networking gear. Huang added that Nvidia will follow an annual cadence.

Platformization is the buzzword du jour in cybersecurity circles. The general idea is that enterprises are consolidating vendors and will ultimately bet on one platform to solve for cybersecurity.
But we've seen this movie before. Platformization isn't exactly new. It's a strategy that has been deployed in enterprise software for decades and mainframes before that. The benefit is customers get one throat to choke. The downside is you bet on a platform and lose your negotiation leverage.
