The enterprise software landscape in 2025 continues to evolve at a breakneck pace, marked by a surge of strategic acquisitions, partnerships, and AI-driven innovations. Acumatica’s acquisition by Vista Equity Partners signals a new phase of investment and potential scaling for the mid-market ERP leader. Meanwhile, alliances like Capgemini’s expanded collaboration with Mistral AI and SAP, and SAP’s new partnership with Alibaba Group, underscore the growing importance of regional and AI-native synergies. On the AI front, DataRobot’s open-source framework for agentic workflows and Deloitte’s launch of a Global Agentic Network both highlight the race to operationalize autonomous digital workforces. Product innovation also remains intense: Snyk’s AI Trust Platform, Gainsight’s Atlas, and Similarweb’s AI Agent collections illustrate how vendors are embedding intelligence across ecosystems. Complementing this trend, Invoca’s acquisition of Symbl.ai and Salesforce’s plan to acquire Informatica show how data and conversational intelligence are becoming central to customer engagement strategies. Even digital service providers like TELUS Digital are doubling down on CRM-centric growth through the acquisition of Gerent, reflecting how every layer of the enterprise stack is being redefined by AI and data infrastructure convergence.
In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry analysts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to analyze current enterprise software stories.
