In The Hot Seat: Moves & Misfires is a weekly show on the PPN network that cuts through the noise surrounding B2B technology, AI, and go-to-market announcements. Each episode brings together experienced operators, analysts, and industry leaders to examine what actually changed, what problems a new capability solves, who should care, and whether it deserves a place in your strategy, technology stack, or budget. From sales, marketing, and RevOps to customer experience, product, and AI, the ITHS team looks beyond vendor claims to separate meaningful market moves from overhyped launches, recycled roadmaps, and marketing misfires. No vendor influence. No hype. Just candid, executive-level analysis designed to help business and technology leaders gain clarity before they commit.© 2026 Playaz Productions Network Management & Leadership Politik & Regierungen Ökonomie

  • In The Hot Seat: SAP’s Big Play For Clean Data

    In The Hot Seat: SAP’s Big Play For Clean Data
    Jul 12 2026

    Is AI an architectural revolution, or are we just using it to hide our dirty data?

    In this episode of In The Hot Seat, things get rowdy as the crew debates SAP's massive structural moves—specifically its recent acquisitions of Dremio and Prior Labs. Thomas, Pete, Jody, Steve, and Kristy break down what it really takes to re-architect legacy systems, whether "AI-native" software actually exists, and why data quality remains the ultimate bottleneck.We dive deep into the classic enterprise curse of "garbage in, garbage out," exploring why sales managers still bypass their multi-million dollar CRMs to trust manual side-spreadsheets instead. Plus, the team tackles the "sea of sameness" plague in B2B marketing, the sudden rise of corporate "human-washing," and a final verdict on whether AI is genuinely reshaping the workforce or if it's all just a clever marketing fad.Grab a cold drink and turn up the volume—the crew is bringing the heat on this one!
