Led by Everest Group experts Chirajeet (CJ) Sengupta, Managing Partner, and Abhishek Singh, Partner, this forward-looking webinar explored how Systems of Execution (SoE)—powered by generative and agentic AI—are set to disrupt the traditional software industry and redefine how software delivers value to customers. Watch this insightful session as we examined why the software market is at an inflection point, and what it takes for product companies to adapt and lead in this next wave of disruption. Attendees came away with a deep understanding of the SoE opportunity, what it means for product development and go-to-market models, and how to create competitive advantage in a rapidly changing landscape. With AI reshaping customer expectations and the value delivered by software, this is a generational opportunity for product companies to reimagine their strategies, products, and positioning to drive long-term impact. What questions did the webinar answer for the participants? What will generative and agentic AI do to the software industry? What are Systems of Execution, and why should you care? What is the market opportunity for SoE? How can you prepare for a world shaped by SoE? What does it take to succeed in a Systems of Execution environment?

Digital transformation has established itself as a driving force in today’s economy, profoundly impacting people, processes, and technology innovation. In recent years, enterprises have undertaken numerous digital transformation initiatives to improve business models, drive operational efficiencies, and enhance stakeholder experiences. While Communications, Media, and Technology (CMT) enterprises understand the potential of these initiatives, most have realized only partial success through them because of their over-reliance on technology without the necessary changes to the organizational structure, people strategies, and processes. For an enterprise to be able to scale digitally, it must go beyond technology change and adopt a comprehensive approach that re-imagines all of its foundational levers: people, processes, and technology. This report provides Everest Group’s perspectives on accelerating digital transformation in the global CMT industry.
