I’ve spent much of my career thinking about B2B pricing.

Predictions 2027: The Outcome Economy Hits Enterprise Software, And Reality Hits Back

Kate Leggett 1 day ago
Enterprise software no longer creates value on its own. Instead, the value comes from outcomes, and these outcomes are delivered via workflows that span business apps, data, people, and AI. In 2027, technology leaders will shift from governing applications to governing enterprise outcomes. They will do this by using cross-application workflows as the unit of […]

Wealth Management Firms: Seven Ways To Derisk Your Customer Relationships

Tom Mouhsian 1 day ago
Advisor-Led Models Are Prone To Relationship Risks Traditionally, asset management firms and insurers focus on manufacturing the (investment or insurance) product and leave the acquisition and relationship management to advisors. The industry is built on that model, and the resulting value-exchange system generously rewards client advisors, brokers, and agents for consistently generating sales, growing assets […]

Tokenomics: The Economics Of AI Value Realization

Tracy Woo 2 days ago
What is tokenomics? How do I manage token costs? Does tokenomics matter if I only purchase AI copilot subscriptions? Questions like these dominate the bulk of my client conversations.

Anthropic’s S-1 Hands Enterprise AI Buyers Better Leverage

Brian Hopkins 2 days ago
Back in June, we argued that Anthropic’s proposed IPO would change the economics of enterprise AI, reasoning that a public listing brings discipline: Pricing would “get real,” capital would chase acquisitions, and Anthropic would trade capability for cost. The public S-1, filed October 26, has the numbers we lacked a few months ago, and it […]

The eMudhra Certificate Authority Incident Is A Wake-Up Call For Enterprise PKI

Geoff Cairns 2 days ago
The private key of a certificate authority (CA) should be one of the most secure secrets in digital infrastructure. In eMudhra’s case, eight CA private keys turned out to not be very secret.

Marketers, Stop Random Acts Of AI Investing

Gambling in prediction markets, buying cryptocurrency, and investing in meme stocks have similar characteristics: plenty of buzz, promises of phenomenal returns, and bragging rights just for participating in the game.
