The "SaaS is dead" narrative has been making the rounds - but the numbers just told a very different story. In this episode ofEdgeBytes, we cut through the drama and go straight to the data: Salesforce just closed fiscal 2026 at $41.5 billion in revenue with $72.4 billion in contracted backlog, while Workday posted 13% full-year growth and nearly 20%cash flow expansion. These aren't the metrics of a dying category - they're the metrics of an industry evolving at speed. What's actually shifting is how value gets measured: Salesforce alone processed nearly 20 trillion tokens anddelivered 2.4 billion Agentic Work Units, signaling a fundamental reframe from software licenses to measurable labor execution. In this episode, we unpack what this means for CEOs, CIOs, and CFOs navigating the AI integration moment - why platform concentration risk is rising, why the middle tier of undifferentiated SaaS is genuinely vulnerable, and why the real story isn't collapse, it's consolidation.

Steve shares how their marketing team issaving six figures per campaign using generative AI to identify the next trending global almond flavor, why a promising 20-year-dataset AI crop forecasting model ultimately couldn't outsmart Mother Nature, and how their CFO is redefining his team as data scientists rather than reporters of financialnews.

What if your office building could read the room - literally? In this episode of The Enterprise Edge podcast, host Mark Vigoroso sits down with Bob Cicero, Cisco's Americas Future-Proofed Workplace Director and a 25-year company veteran who joined the company during the dot-com boom and never stopped taking calculated risks.

He reveals why the humble badge swipe is the worst data source in corporate real estate, how Cisco's network infrastructure is now powering everything from desk sensors to real-time air quality monitoring, and why the companies that started collecting workplace data four years ago are now sitting on a goldmine as AI arrives to make sense of it all.
