🦉 IT Alert: Enterprise Platforms Must Be Open Or Risk Obsolescence

1/ Celonis just sued SAP, accusing it of gatekeeping customer data + stacking the deck against competitors.

Making the rounds:

"In the next 3 to 6 months, AI is writing 90% of the code, and in 12 months, nearly all code may be generated by AI." - Anthropic CEO, Dario Amodei

8/ Why IT Leaders Should Care about MCP 💡

🔹 Less integration work – No API spaghetti.
🔹 Stronger security – No open-ended API exposures.
🔹 Smarter AI – It adapts dynamically as new tools/data appear.
🔹 Enterprise-wide access – AI becomes truly useful across all business apps.

MCP is not just another API, it’s the missing link between AI and enterprise systems.
