Jenzabar Annual Meeting 2026: Charting the Path to Jenzabar One Web with Confidence

Matthew Leger — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Jenzabar held its 25th annual customer meeting (JAM 2026) at the Gaylord Texan in Dallas from May 27th to the 30th, drawing more than 1,200 higher education customers. Throughout the event, the company put customer confidence, collaboration, and trust at the center of its message, depicting the move to Jenzabar One Web — the company's cloud-based, modular enterprise resource planning and student information system — as a journey focused on addressing each institution's unique needs, challenges, and opportunities. What stood out to IDC was how closely the agenda tracked the challenges documented in the 2024 IDC MarketScape for North American higher education SaaS and cloud-enabled Student Information Systems (Doc #). Jenzabar provided concrete updates and strategic priorities to address each of the following key challenges: buggy releases, performance issues, limited change management support, and difficulty with migrating large on-premises systems to the cloud.

Capgemini's Investment in OpenAI Deployment Company Signals Services Market Inflection

Cathy Huang, Craig Robinson — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Capgemini's investment in the OpenAI Deployment Company, announced May 12, 2026, marks a pivotal escalation in the global services firm's enterprise AI strategy. As a founding member of OpenAI's Frontier Alliance, Capgemini is now deepening its relationship with OpenAI from strategic partner to equity investor, positioning itself at the center of what may become the dominant enterprise AI deployment channel. The move comes as the industry crosses a critical inflection point: Organizations are moving from AI experimentation to production-scale deployment, and Capgemini is betting that scale execution, not just AI access, will be the defining differentiator in the enterprise AI services market. IDC views this investment as a strong competitive signal but cautions that Capgemini's multi-ecosystem AI portfolio will need to demonstrate practitioner depth, not just partnership breadth, to sustain differentiation.

IDC PeerScape: Practices for Navigating the Early Stages of Enterprise Adoption in Quantum Computing

Heather West, PhD — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC PeerScape draws on interviews conducted during the Going Mainstream: Enterprise Pathways to Quantum Adoption session at IDC Directions 2026 with Marna Kagele, technical fellow at Boeing, and Lucus Haugen, director of data science at AT&T. Their experiences surface three practices essential to building a sustainable quantum initiative:

The following are the three best practices uncovered through this document:

Quantum's developmental maturity challenges early investment decisions. Organizations must find ways to justify quantum investment before the technology can deliver production-scale results. Boeing and AT&T both found that anchoring early investment to specific, well-understood operational problems and creating organizational structures that allow quantum to be evaluated on longer timelines than traditional technologies were critical to building sustained momentum.
Classical infrastructure creates unexpected bottlenecks in quantum workflows. As quantum workflows scale in complexity, the classical infrastructure surrounding them often becomes the primary constraint rather than the quantum hardware itself. Data preparation, computational overhead, and competition for classical resources with AI and other initiatives all emerge as significant challenges that organizations must plan for proactively.
Quantum success requires expertise that is difficult to assemble. Building a capable quantum team is one of the most frequently cited barriers to quantum adoption. Boeing and AT&T both found that the most effective teams are not those built around quantum specialists alone but those that balance deep domain expertise with quantum knowledge and treat quantum software tools as an extension of existing engineering and data science capabilities.

"What Boeing and AT&T demonstrate is that you do not need to wait for fault-tolerant quantum systems to begin making meaningful progress. The work starts now, with the problems you already have and the teams you already have in place," said Heather West, PhD, senior research manager, Quantum Computing, IDC.

Blue Yonder ICON 2026: Where Supply Chain Performance and Sustainability Converge

Amy Cravens — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Blue Yonder's annual ICON customer conference, held May 18–19, 2026, in San Diego, put autonomous supply chain intelligence squarely at the intersection of operational performance and sustainability. Across keynotes, press releases, and customer award announcements, a consistent theme emerged: The same AI-driven capabilities that improve forecast accuracy, reduce waste, and optimize logistics also deliver measurable environmental outcomes.

This IDC Link examines what ICON 2026 revealed about Blue Yonder's direction and how the company's expanding platform supports sustainability through four lenses: logistics and emissions, sustainable procurement, inventory management, and returns and circularity.

Miro Canvas 2026 Event: Miro's Engaging Cross-Stack Collaboration Canvas Strategy; Centering Human Engagement

Wayne Kurtzman, Melinda-Carol Ballou — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Miro held its annual Canvas 2026 conference in San Francisco on May 19, 2026, where executives announced product updates to close a persistent gap in enterprise AI adoption: fragmented, individual AI productivity gains that fail to translate into teamwide or organizational impact. Miro is evolving its Canvas with a series of integrations, workflows, and agentic expansions to support convergence across people, context, workflows, and agents and to benefit from Miro's recent Reforge acquisition (March 2026). The company continues to grow as it seeks to become the single pane of glass where work and context converge. IDC observes demand for visual, intelligent workspaces that enable effective coordination in a highly competitive landscape. This document analyzes the announcements and events from Miro Canvas 2026.
