What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Vendor vision is credible and category-defining, but most agents are pre-GA and gated on clean-core S/4HANA, and even available agents face cautious adoption; nothing to adopt against today.
Next
Watch which of the 60+ supply-chain agents and the procurement assistants actually reach GA (Sept 2026 procurement window) versus roadmap through H2 2026, and require a clean-core S/4HANA reference deployment before any integration scoping.
